The collocation of pigeon feed

Energy feed is called carbohydrate feed, which is mainly composed of seeds of Gramineae crops, including corn, rice, wheat, barley, sorghum, millet and so on.

Mineral feed contains a variety of mineral trace elements, such as laterite, fine sand, shell powder, gypsum, old lime, salt, bone powder, eggshell powder, charcoal and so on.

Vitamins feed vitamins from green feed, as long as there is no toxicity and odor can be chopped for pigeons to eat, such as summer watermelon peel and purslane as green fodder, disease resistance, disease prevention.

In common feed, corn contains high energy, its main composition: starch is about 70%, and digestibility is as high as 90%, fat 45%, protein 9%. However, corn gum protein is poor, lack of calcium, lysine and tryptophan, can not be used alone as the diet of meat pigeons, must be properly matched with high-quality protein feed and other grains. Rice: as the main feed for pigeons, the effect is second to that of corn. Its main ingredients: about 60% starch, 9.3% protein, 1.4% fat. The nutrition is good, but the palatability is poor, and it is best to process it into brown rice. Wheat contains about 70% starch, 11% protein and 2% fat. Rich in B vitamins. However, if you eat more wheat, you will have diarrhea and cannot be used as a staple food. it should be fed in conjunction with other grains. Sorghum: the nutritional value is similar to that of corn, with a crude protein content of 9.5%, but poor palatability, can stop diarrhea, and eating more will cause constipation. Such as wheat as the staple food, with the right amount of sorghum, can prevent diarrhea without constipation, the two play a complementary role. Millet: contains more carotene, higher nutritional value. Hemp kernel contains high protein and higher fatty acids, which can strengthen the stomach and relieve defecation and make feathers shine, but the dosage should not be too much, otherwise it is easy to have dysentery.
