GRANIVOROUS PIGEON HAND FEEDING

Suitable for hand-rearing chicks of seed-eating columbiform species.

It is a follow-on hand-feeding formula that should gradually replace the crop milk (Pigeon Crop Milk), supplied during the first days of life, and its use is recommended until the weaning of the chicks.

It should be prepared with lukewarm water (35-38ºC) at a concentration sufficient to obtain a creamy texture (about 20-25% solids concentration). Coarse-grained product.

The rapid growth of chicks makes it difficult to determine the optimum amount of feed. The rate of digestion of food by each individual will ultimately determine the amount of food fed. The large capacity of the Columbiformes crop creates a certain risk of overfeeding the chicks, which should be avoided.

It is important that the crop is completely empty in the morning, before the first feeding.

The rapid growth of the chicks makes it difficult to determine the optimal number of feeding intakes. The speed of food transit in each individual is what finally determines the number of intakes. The large capacity of the crop of the columbiformes gives rise to a certain risk of overfeeding the chicks, which should be avoided.

It is important that the crop is completely empty in the morning, before the first feeding intake of the day.
