For racing pigeons,
energy-rich foods are crucial to support their stamina and performance. The
best energy foods include:
1. Carbohydrate-Rich Grains (for quick energy)
· Corn (maize) – High in carbs and fat; a top choice for energy.
· Sorghum (milo) – Easily digestible and energy-packed.
· Wheat – Good
balance of carbs and protein.
2. Fats (for endurance energy)
· Sunflower seeds (black oil type) – Rich in healthy fats and oil.
· Peanuts (raw, unsalted) – High-energy, but feed in moderation.
3. High-Energy Mixes (pre-race blends)
Many fanciers use
specialized pre-race mixes that include:
· Safflower
· Hemp seed
· Flaxseed
· Canola seed
These mixes usually
provide a balanced dose of fat, carbs, and protein for race readiness.
4. Supplements (used by many racers)
· Electrolytes – To maintain hydration and recovery.
· Glucose or honey in water – Quick energy before or after a race.
· Vitamins (esp. B-complex) – Boosts metabolism and energy utilization.
