What is the make up of it and what’s the protein/ carb / fat percentage
There’s a decent vl mix champion plus I like that’s got a bit more protein in it but it’s just as easy to add peas or breed and wean to a high carb mix I think that way your just feeding carbs Thursday and add some fats if required or barley on other days
I can’t be doing the same mix each day I know others do well with it but I rather go protein to carbs to carbs/ fats

Looks to be mainly safflower.
I wouldn't use it but I've seen pigeons win races on weird feed. I knew a bloke who had a shed full of small maize, so the fed his young birds on maize. Won races too

I thought it was loads of sunflower hearts but you could be right with safflower .
Yep, that's safflower. I like a fair bit of saff in a mix, It's obviously very rich in fats, but it also has about 16% protein. So you don't have to worry about loading them with peas after a race.
That can save messing about with the feed so much and causing upset digestion.
But that mix, wow!
The bloke must have got a cheap deal on a ton of safflower or something!

I agree with Murray, it would be good for the digestion system.Murray wrote: ↑Sun Jul 14, 2024 7:34 am Yep, that's safflower.
