Albert Derwa has been one of the strongest breeders in Belgium for years, even though he only has a very small team. Albert Derwa has a special relationship with his pigeons. When he enters the loft, all the pigeons immediately look for him. This bond between breeder and pigeons is one of the decisive factors for his long-term success. During the season, Albert always pays attention to the weather conditions on the middle distance. Because he only races his pigeons over longer distances when the conditions are good. His motto is: If possible, never lose a very good pigeon.

Which Röhnfried products do you use?

“I have been providing my racing pigeons with the best possible Röhnfried products for years. Outside the travel season, Avidress Plus with UsneGano is added to the drinking water every day. During the season, the pigeons are given Avipharm and Mumm in their drinking water on the day they return home. During the week the racing pigeons receive Hexenbier, Carni-Speed ​​and Rotosal. This combination means the pigeons are in top condition, which is reflected in the top prices. When it comes to young pigeons, I pay particular attention to a strong immune system. I achieve this by continuously administering Entrobac, immune boosters and UsneGano. In addition, the pigeons receive a grit mixture twice a day, which I put together myself from expert mineral, treat stone, rice mineral and breeding and moulting mineral.”

Albert, which pigeons were particularly strong in the races this year?

“First I would like to mention BE22-2098006. This year she not only flew 4 first prizes, but also achieved countless top rankings. Her lineage: Father: NL-13-1395551, J Hooymans – son Dolce Beauty, P Veenstra (Mister Blue x Dolce Vita) x Elfje (sister Harry!)

Mother: BE-16-4129417, granddaughter New Freddy – PEC (from the 446 son New Freddy x My Favorite , Geerinckx) x 259-15, daughter Gladiator, Geerinckx .

Her sister, BE21-2059251, was in no way inferior to her with 5 first prizes and many top prizes against a high number of pigeons.

What advice can you give other breeders?

“It is important to build a strong bond with your pigeons based on trust. Every fancier should watch his pigeons carefully to make sure everything is in order. A well-coordinated care program that is specifically tailored to the needs of the pigeons during racing is also crucial.”

The best pigeon this year was Darina:

So far it has flown 14 x 1/100 in 2020, 2021 and 2022 and 12 times 1/50.
