In the season 2018 Anthony had really bad luck because he and the other growers in his region, were allowed due to the avian influenza for four weeks not participate in the betting flights. Thus were the Cub flights passé for him and also some national flights "fell into Water". Nevertheless, the provincial flights, called ran. "Pontoise flights" to high pigeon numbers very successful for him.

A Supertaube this year was, inter alia, “Quick” 3073745-18,
This Ace won the following prizes in three weeks:

• 8 Prov. Pontoise against 9,630 pigeons
• 2. Prov. Pontoise against 7.573 pigeons
• 16. Prov. Pontoise against 6.106 pigeons

His own base

Meanwhile, Anthony has bred its own line, from which we can find a lot of very good pigeons on other beats now. This "Maes Dove" is mainly due to four pigeons back: The first is the "sero sero"The National winner of Argenton and fastest pigeon against more than 20,000 fellow activists was. The "Papillon"That was able to convince the top females with several provincial premium prices. Furthermore, even "rapid" and the Bonten". These pigeons are the basis for excellent results in shock, as Johan Engelbos (St Truiden), national champion and As-pigeon breeders; a super females of Gebrüder Herbots (Olympic champion 2019) and a National winner Roger Velle. All of the following direct pigeons from Anthony Maes.

As a basis of these pigeons we find pigeons from Jacques Catteeuw (Deerlijk), André Debeuf (Woumen), A. Bouckaert (Gits) and Lesage brothers (Rumbeke). Since 2007, he has these animals successfully crossed with pigeons from Roger Degraeve (Voormezele), Patrick & Dimitri Houfflijn (word Egem-Petegem), Chris Debacker (Beveren-Leie), Frans Parmentier (Wevelgem) and some Spit centering necklaces of Gaby Vandenabeele (Dentergem).

His pigeons

Due to lung problems in Anthony, was the number of pigeons  reduced to 40 old birds. In addition, Anthony also holds only 65 Young pigeons. This has an even stricter selection result, which has in turn has a positive influence on the overall quality of the portfolio. It is necessary because Anthony because of his lung disease no longer do everything and can not dump everything on his wife Chantal. The pigeon sport must remain a hobby and you have to in his spare time have fun doing it.

A good plan

As an independent greengrocers Anthony is often on road. That is why most of the pigeons care of his wife falls Chantal to, but knows a lot about their "pigeon-job". The two are in every respect a great team: to work, in private life and also in pigeon racing. In preparing for the travel season rice pigeons every day over a period of 30 days Witches beer supplied in the drinking water. In March, they are five to eight times 10 km  trained up to 30 km in order to build the confidence.

the Alttiersaison

As soon as the weather conditions permitted it, was participated in the first few flights.

Argenton against 321Tauben: 2-3-12-15-22 ... (10/13)

Châteauroux against 13.098 pigeons: 3-49-78-160 ... (8/10)

With the emergence of avian influenza, the Alttiersaison unfortunately had to be adjusted.

The supply

When the pigeons come from the flight home, then they get a combination of MUMM and AvipharmTo speed up recovery. Every day there are fresh grit that with Winput enriched. The Grit aids digestion and in Winput Nucleotide contained ensures better immunity. On flights usually find the heavy medium-haul flights on Saturday instead of. Then, on Sunday and Monday Entrobac administered over the water to promote intestinal health. On Sunday Anthony adds, in addition to Entrobac, still Avitestin added.

As of Monday will then focus on the next flight. On Mondays there is additionally Witches beer and on Tuesday Flash form, On Wednesday, the day before the onset, get the pigeons Gervit-W,  Anthony has learned that the pigeons by this system are very vital. He says he remembers it the fastest when he into the  Rampant and they are so smooth that they are almost at the hands slip away.

Simple but effective

In Anthony's system and in the supply of this principle is the Motto. It will be well looked after here to pigeons, but without many Particularities. The pigeons have only their quality use do they show. The condition decides and this can only to achieve good health. Therefore preferred the Anthony where he found what he was looking for Röhnfried products. The results until the last flight are top of the first would be, in his opinion, without these products are not possible.
