Description

Feral pigeons feed on seeds, grains, plant buds and sometimes insects, all of which make up a complete diet. That’s why pigeon food with only grains and seeds is incomplete. Garvo added the lacking nutrients to G-Spirits to provide the right nutrients in every phase of the season: its food contains vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fatty acids in the right composition and in a highly digestible form. This supports an optimum activity of the nervous system and helps reduce stress. When you feed with G-Spirits all year round, you will reap benefits in every period of the season.

An important aspect is that the pigeons must have enough fuel for their race. That is, their tank must never be empty during their race, but too full a tank is deadweight. G-Spirits Sprint is the complete diet for short and middle-long distance races, and you need not supplement it. G-Spirits Sprint and Marathon are mainly based on the activity of oils as the source of energy. The ethereal oils with omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids in G-Spirits act as clean fuel. Providing oils as fuel for pigeons is not new, but the trick is to provide the various oils in the right proportion. The mix of oils in G-Spirits Sprint and Marathon is carefully composed and ensures:

• that the food reserves (glycogen) in their muscles is not affected, and at the same time allows the pigeon to store more glycogen in the muscles;
• that the pigeon’s muscles can use more oxygen to break down the glycogen into ATP when they get used to this oil mix. The more oxygen used, the less lactic acid produced. Lactic acid causes fatigue and stiffness;
• a calming effect on the nervous system. This raises the pigeons’ pain threshold, so that they do not give up easily.

All in all, the oils from G-Spirits Sprint and G-Spirits Marathon ensure that much more energy can be stored in the pigeon’s body while also reducing the amount of waste matters (lactic acid) released during its race. The result is that the pigeon remains fit and supple for longer. Feeding a depurative mix is therefore not needed after races. Of course, there are other components besides the essential oils which play a vital role in the food. For example, amino acids in the pellets counteracts early moulting.
