Formulating a balanced and effective feed formula is essential for raising healthy and productive meat pigeons. A well-planned diet not only supports the growth and development of the birds but also enhances their productivity, leading to better economic returns. To achieve this, it's important to use locally available feed resources, adjust ingredients based on seasonal availability, and maintain a proper balance between energy, protein, fat, and vitamins.
In general, the feed formula for young pigeons should include 3-4 energy sources, making up 70%-75% of the diet, along with 2 types of protein feeds that account for 25%-30%. For brooding pigeons, the energy feed should be 3-4 types, comprising 65%-70%, while protein sources should be 2-3 types, making up 30%-35%. Non-brooding breeders require more energy, so the energy feed should be 3-4 types, accounting for 75%-80%, with protein sources at 20%-25%.
When using grain-based seeds, it's crucial to ensure that moisture content is below 11%, crude protein ranges from 12%-15%, and nitrogen-free extract makes up 65%-70%. Crude fat, fiber, and ash should each be around 3% to ensure a well-balanced diet.
Here are several recommended feed formulas for meat pigeons:
Formula One: 50% rice, 20% corn, 10% wheat, 15% mung bean, 5% soybean.
Formula Two: 40% corn, 30% pea, 20% rice, 7% wheat, 3% rapeseed.
Formula Three: 45% corn, 15% brown rice, 4% sorghum, 30% bamboo bean, 3% mung bean, 3% hemp cake.
Formula Four: 30% corn, 10% brown rice, 10% wheat, 10% sorghum, 30% peas, 10% soybeans.
Formula Five: 30% corn, 20% brown rice, 10% barley, 10% sorghum, 15% mung bean, 10% pea, 5% rapeseed.
Formula Six: 50% corn, 25% peas, 25% rice.
Formula Seven: 20% corn, 40% rice, 10% wheat, 30% peas.
Formula Eight: 20% corn, 25% wheat, 25% sorghum, 20% peas, 10% mung beans.
These formulas can be adjusted based on local availability and the specific needs of the flock. It's always a good idea to monitor the health and performance of the pigeons and make necessary adjustments to the feed to optimize results.
