Die Teler en Genetika

Posted by Christiaan Venter on Wednesday, October 2, 2013, In : Die Teler en Genetika 









Dit is baie goed om die wette van Mendel te bestudeer. Dit gee vir ons die teoretiese sy van teling, en weet ons waaroor dit gaan. Maar om dit prakties toe te pas, is ‘n perd van ‘n ander kleur. Ons kan nie vir die duif vertel watter van sy chromosome ons verlang nie. Ons wil graag ons duiwe innerlik(geneties) reg hê, en ook uiterlik(foneties). Al kry ons die duif foneties min of meer reg,  kan daar geneties nog baie skort. Dit is dan hier waar prestasietoetsing inkom.  Hier haal ons u...

Raw Peanut’s: An Important Part of a Racing Pigeon’s Diet

Posted by Christiaan Venter on Tuesday, October 1, 2013, In : Raw Peanut’s 

Peanuts are superior to any other grain we can give our birds for racing
You should feed them in raw form or what i do is to mix 2 desert spoons of smooth Peanut butter with some hot water, untill it is a past, which I mix through the pigeons food for the evening meal.
Peanuts contain the highest oil content, more then grains like sunflower seeds, linseed, hemp seed, and rape seed, which are all very high in oil content.

Peanuts contain an extremely high FAT content 47%, compared to CORN 4%, W...

Apple cider vinegar or just plain vinegar

Why should a fancier use vinegar for his pigeons?

Apple cider vinegar or just plain vinegar will

  • acidify the contents in the crop and discourage the multiplication of trichomonas organisms. It will, however, not cure pigeons of trichomoniasis. Also, bacteria which do not like an acidic environment such as Salmonella, for example, are discouraged from multiplying in the crop. Acid loving bacteria like the lactobacilli, on the other hand, will find this a hospitable environmen...

About Me


Christiaan Venter My experience is that many fanciers are dealing reckless with their racers. They have to join every week, the condition is hardly worth considering but this is so important. I only breed from birds which have performed well and therefore have earned a place in the breeding loft. The descendent of my pigeons, at least for me, is always good. Unfortunately, not all youngsters bred by me win on the assembly line top prizes. Who do? For me, health system and motivation is important. Young birds need, like little children, much attention. So I spent the necessary time. Especially the feeding is very important. The first flight, they may be a little on the light side. If they feel anything too heavy, they will immediately less time train. For the first short sprint race they do not need much resources. It is my belief that in order to race pigeons consistently at the top of the race sheet, fanciers should utilize the benefits of the scientific method on a daily basis in the loft. Winning races is far more than breeding a whole bunch of birds, putting them in a big room with perches, letting them out several times a week, and hoping they will race home. Many of these pigeons may fly home; but they will seldom race home. Speed is the result of passionate pigeons responding to a consistent well-planned management system. Hope you will enjoy reading my block. Enjoy! Bond
