Feeding recommendation
Daily 1–2 tsp (approx. 5 g) per pigeon offered after the main feeding in a separate dish. Store dry and cool – at 2.5 kg sufficient for approx. 20 pigeons for over 4 months.
Tip: During molt and breeding slightly increase the amount – calcium and phosphorus supply ensures strong eggshells and rapid feather regeneration.
Frequently asked questions
Is Eurital Grit-Mix also suitable for young pigeons?
Yes – the fine grains and the clay content also make it suitable for young birds from the 5th week of life.
Can I omit the grit during the racing season?
Not recommended. Especially with high performance the mineral requirement increases – 1 tsp daily secures muscle function and bone stability.
How long is the 2.5 kg bucket shelf-stable?
With dry, cool storage at least 24 months (see best-before date on the bucket).
