The role of natural components in supporting the health of racing pigeons

The role of natural components in supporting the health of racing pigeons throughout the pigeon fancier year

Practical application example: Detox Plus and Moor Active

Maintaining the health of racing pigeons throughout the year requires an integrated nutritional approach, adapted to each physiological stage: reproduction, growth, moulting, competition and the cold season. In this context, the use of biologically active products, such as Moor Active (peat-based) and Detox Plus (clay + garlic and cinnamon oil), can bring clear benefits through the properties of humic acids, natural sulfuric substances and phytotherapeutic extracts.

1. Humic and fulvic acids – metabolic and intestinal protective effects

Moor Active is an example of a product based on purified peat, rich in humic and fulvic acids. These compounds contribute to:

• lowering intestinal pH and controlling pathogenic microbial flora;
• protection of the digestive mucosa and improvement of transit;
• formation of complexes with toxins and heavy metals, contributing to their elimination from the body;
• increased absorption of essential minerals such as iron, zinc and manganese;
• supporting protein and lipid metabolism, with direct effects on the development of muscle mass and plumage.

In young pigeons, these effects translate into faster growth, better feed conversion and increased resistance to intestinal infections.

2. Garlic extract, cinnamon and clay – antimicrobial and detoxifying effect

Detox Plus combines natural clay with concentrated extracts of garlic and cinnamon, providing:

• selective antibacterial action (E. coli, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus);
• protection of beneficial intestinal flora (Lactobacillus);
• internal and respiratory antiparasitic effect;
• mucolytic, expectorant and anti-inflammatory effect in respiratory diseases;
• liver detoxification and stimulation of nutrient absorption;
• supply of sulfur compounds essential for molting, skin and joints.

These properties justify the use of Detox Plus during all critical periods of the biological cycle, but especially during the rearing of young, the competition season and moulting.

3. Applicability depending on the stage of the pigeon fancier year

Reproduction

• Moor Active : supports fertility by balancing mineral and protein metabolism.
• Detox Plus : reduces the risk of bacterial contamination in the aviary and strengthens the immunity of breeders.

Raising chickens

• Moor Active : protects the fragile digestive mucosa of puppies, reduces the risk of illness in puppies.
• Detox Plus : fights parasites, supports the respiratory system and promotes harmonious development.

moult

• Moor Active : promotes the absorption of minerals necessary for plumage restoration.
• Detox Plus : the sulfur content contributes to keratin synthesis and intensifies feather pigmentation.

Competition season

• Moor Active : supports digestive and metabolic recovery after exercise.
• Detox Plus : protects the respiratory tract, reduces oxidative stress and detoxifies the liver.

Cold season / rest

• Moor Active : anti-inflammatory and immunostimulating background effects.
• Detox Plus : prevents the accumulation of toxins and maintains overall immune status.

4. Administration Guide

ConCluSIonS

The Moor Active and Detox Plus products represent practical examples of the use of natural components that play an essential role in:

• regulation of digestion and metabolism,
• detoxification of the body,
• supporting liver and respiratory function,
• strengthening immunity,
• improving general condition and performance in competitions.

Their rational use, correlated with the pigeon's physiological stage, can make the difference between a season affected by diseases and a successful one.
