The pigeons are fed regularly during breeding Gervit-W as well as daily Avidress plus. Thanks to this product, the pigeons do not have to fight trichomonads treated and the chicks in the nest have good poop. The breeding birds raise 3 to a maximum of 4 rounds of young animals one after the other. By Line breeding, Luc tries to keep the old "Tieke" line.

Small colony with great success

The widowers are divided into 2 compartments and are after classic system where the partner stays at home. In front during the season the pigeons receive “a cure for 3 weeks Witches beer". This ensures a very good basic level of fitness, a problem-free one Moult and they will get clean bodies. During the racing season the pigeons get a handful of fresh grit every day, that for one ensures good digestion.A strict schedule:
At Luc, the pigeons always train at fixed times: twice a day 30 Minutes are enough. However, always at the same time. In drinking water he sets daily Avidress plus a - this ensures that the pigeons are not attacked by trichomonads.

Tip: If the droppings are not good on the youngsters, Luc sometimes doubles the dosage.

After returning from the flight, Luc also gives UsneGano and BT Amin forte to. The pigeons get back on the following three days Witches beer and Avidress plus.
On the assignment, they get Avipharm in combination with Rotosal, because for Luc it is important that the pigeons have a Have electrolyte reserve. In Luc's opinion, that makes for you better fluid balance while traveling.

Before the season starts, Luc drives his pigeons up to 30 km about three times path. After these three short training flights they come up in the basket maximum 650 km (Tulle). Between the races the pigeons are not trained more with the car.

Quick recovery from good supplements.

Whether it's a distance of 100 or 600 km - the most important thing is one good regeneration. Luc: “The sooner the pigeons get fit again, the sooner they will score better in the next race! "

Good pigeons and a good climate in the loft

“The birds must feel comfortable, have space and have a good relationship with the breeder. Your motivation is your box, ”says Luc.

Luc has been using Röhnfried products for more than 10 years and finds the products very beneficial. They ensure a good basic condition and protect the health of its feathered friends. Good health is important for good physical condition, which in turn leads to good results. You have to consider everything as a whole that has to be coherent: the pigeons, the feed, the daily training and the food supplements. "But", says Luc, "of course you can't turn a donkey into a racehorse."

The young pigeons

The youngsters are blacked out from mid-March to mid-June and receive more light from July 21st. Why a month later? These Method improves the flight behavior of the young birds, resulting in the produced remarkable results last season.

The boys are trained from the end of May: First they have to adapt get used to the little basket that Luc left in his garden for a few hours leaves. Then they will be released. Most important is in this phase that the boys accept the basket and learn to be in the basket drink. After that they are taken further away step by step until at about 25, 30 km. Next they drive up to the club medium-haul distances to Arras and Clermont, with the provincial and national races are also important. The promising ones Youngsters are well taken care of and usually take part in the provincial races.

During the widower season the youngsters train once a day, then twice a day for about an hour.

In the young pigeon loft the pigeons can follow their nature. The punch must be cozy. Luc creates dark areas in the corners by adding he places boxes on the floor or builds dark corners in which the Pigeons can hide what stimulates their nest building instinct.

In the beginning he watches her a lot. The birds are against different Diseases vaccinated. In case of doubt, better once too much than too little. Pigeons that fall ill quickly are removed from the loft. So the health of the group can be more easily maintained. For one The pigeons receive a solid foundation every day Avidress plusto which he regularly UsneGano adds. During the season he uses the same system (the same care) as, with his widowers,

Tip: The addition of Flash form to drinking water for a week can bring an increase in performance, but one has to be patient and should only use it when the Physical condition decreases noticeably.
