6 The best French Cribs maize The French Cribs is a maize which has been dried naturally and slowly in the open air, which gives it a very high germination rate. Natural has been using this maize in its mixtures since 1967 and strongly recommends it to its customers. Natural s experts are indeed convinced that French Cribs maize offers a range of advantages: It is selected on site and only the finest batches are chosen. It is stored and transported in optimum conditions. Its germination capacity is extremely high owing to the fact that it has dried in the open air, in the field, for six months. Guaranteed that the maize keeps all of its natural qualities which are necessary for the correct nutrition of racing pigeons. We guarantee the same quality all year round. The Natural Granen company is FCA* certified. *Feed Chain Alliance Because we re always refining our mixtures, they are subject to changes. The most recent composition can be found on Page 6

7 Mixtures FINESSE Natural Finesse represents a modern feeding method with highly varied, ideally balanced and attractive mixtures. Natural Finesse is based on the most recent knowledge in the field of feeds. It focuses on the pigeon fancier who prefers a simple but efficient feeding method. The Natural Finesse system and the Natural Finesse mixtures were tested by different pigeon fanciers and in several top lofts. By combining our knowledge and experience regarding the nutritional requirements of the pigeon during the breeding, racing, moulting and resting season Natural was able to work out the basis of the Natural Finesse mixtures. Natural FINESSE Mixtures Are a quality product Have a very varied composition Have a well-balanced nutritional pattern Meet the requirements of the pigeon Guarantee a high intake and reduced waste Were tested worldwide by successful pigeon fanciers Were successfully tested in lofts of our staff Benefit both to pigeons and fanciers Natural FINESSE BREEDING 20 kg p. 8 Natural FINESSE LIGHT 20 kg p. 9 Natural FINESSE SPORT 20 kg p. 10 Natural FINESSE WIZARD 20 kg p. 11 Natural FINESSE MOULTING 20 kg p. 12

8 Natural Finesse Breeding Creates superb breeding results 20 KG Art. N High protein contents Provides ideal protein contents during the breeding period Guarantees growth and maintenance of the body Small grains and seeds are ideal for weaning Only the very best preparation of the breeding pigeons before coupling and proper care during the breeding season are able to guarantee vital young pigeons. Feeding a well-balanced diet is one of the main elements to guarantee good breeding results. We advise to feed Natural Finesse Breeding from ten days before coupling. From that moment onwards we advise to feed the breeders at least two days per week 5 ml of Natural Naturamine per litre of drinking water. If the breeding pigeons are taken care of in this way it will result in the laying of their eggs without problems and they will have the opportunity to pass on good characteristics to their young. It is important during the breeding period to feed Natural Vitamineral, Grit and Picking Stone every day. If the cock is chasing the hen and the breeding couples are rearing the youngsters, mix Natural Garlic Oil (enriched with vitamin E) with the Natural Finesse Breeding and dry the mix with Natural Vitaminor. Wait for approximately one hour before feeding until the mix is dry. The highly varied composition of Natural Finesse Breeding with small ingredients guarantees ideal intake of this feed and provides all the necessary proteins for successful breeding. These proteins also guarantee ideal growth of the young birds. You must realise that the newly born youngsters will increase their weight 100 times by the time they are 25 days old! Feed Natural Finesse Breeding from weaning until the end of May.

N Natural Finesse Light Lowers the protein content in a pigeon s diet when needed Has low protein contents Has a purifying effect With paddy rice: rich in fibres + rich in vitamin B has a higher nutritional value than barley is digested better than barley by pigeons Has an ideal energetic value In the past, pigeon fanciers mainly used barley as the barometer in the mixtures to find out when the pigeons were satisfied (the barley was left behind), today pigeon fanciers prefer to feed a light mixture such as Natural Finesse Light. Use with young birds three weeks after weaning in combination with Natural Finesse Breeding. Instructions for use See feeding schedules in combination with flight distances.

10 Natural Finesse Sport A fixture during the racing season 20 KG Art. N Is a highly varied and excellent racing mixture Contains easily digestible proteins Guarantees the right intake of easily digestible fats One of the main assets to score with widowers is to feed them a mixture that meets their specific nutritional requirements during the racing season. The Natural Finesse feed concept was subjected to practical tests and we were able to discover for ourselves that the Natural Finesse feed concept fully meets the requirements of the widowers during the racing season. Elements which play an important part in the feeding of pigeons during the racing season: A. SWIFT RECOVERY To obtain swift recovery after the race the widowers are first fed one meal of Natural Finesse Sport + 4 g Natural Nutripower per pigeon. Natural Nutripower contains easily digestible proteins, amino acids, lipids and carbohydrates. First mix 20 g of Natural Electrolit and then 5 ml of Natural Naturamine per litre of drinking water to guarantee swift recovery of the pigeons and keep their muscles in top condition. Only ideally functioning muscles can be loaded with energy. B. HOW TO LOAD THE MUSCLES WITH ENERGY Instructions for use: see feeding schedule in combination with the flight distances. This easily digestible racing mixture provides all the energy that is required via three different kinds of top quality maize (French cribs, Bordeaux and popcorn) as well as small seeds. The ideal balance between grains and seeds in the Natural Finesse mixtures guarantees a high intake as long as it is fed until the very last race. Moisten the feed with Natural Garlic Oil during the second half of the week. This product contains vitamin E, soy oil and lecithin, which accelerates the conversion of the fatcontaining ingredients of this mixture into maximum energy. The mix that is moistened with the garlic oil must be left to dry with Natural Vitaminor brewer s yeast. Thanks to Natural Vitaminor, which contains vitamins B and high quality trace elements, you improve the condition of the pigeons. Natural Finesse Wizard is an energy-rich mixture containing % fats which allow you to top up the pigeon s body with extra energy. C. HEALTHY PIGEONS Healthy pigeons perform better. Nobody will challenge that. To keep pigeons healthy does not mean that they must be excessively subjected to different cures. Pigeons that are given too much medicines won t last long. Try to maintain a high level of resistance of the pigeons in a natural way by providing them with the most simple feed supplements. Natural Naturaline, Natural Naturamine, Natural Vitaminor and Natural Naturavit are the best examples for this. Composition Safflower seed 17.5% Dari white 15.5% Maize cribs 13% Maize small red 8% Maize popcorn 7% Milo 7% Wheat white 7% Soya toasted 5% Mung beans 5% Peas green small 5% Black rapeseed 2% Linseed 2% Millet yellow 2% Paddy rice 2% Canaryseed 2% Analytical constituants Crude protein 13.44% Crude fat 9.43% Crude ash 2.32% Crude fibre 8.39% Carbohydrates 53.79% Page 10

11 Natural Finesse Wizard Magical energy source with peeled sunflowerseed 20 KG Art. N A superior energy booster Improves the endurance, recovery and general condition With 20% peeled sunflowerseed Pigeons have a fat metabolism. This means that the pigeons draw their energy mainly from fats. Fat is the main basic fuel for the pigeon s metabolism and is the most important energy source for the pigeon s breast muscles. The right fatty acids also play an important part in the building of their overall condition and resistance. But beware: proper reserves of carbohydrates should not be underestimated. This type of energy can be released very quickly by the pigeon s organism when a sudden and short energy boost is necessary e.g. during short but intense efforts during take-off after having been released, while climbing, landing, avoiding obstacles and when accelerating. Why does the Natural Finesse Wizard contain so much sunflower hearts and safflower seed? Safflower seed and sunflower hearts are rich in easily digestible and high quality proteins, while containing a lot of oil (= rich in fat), a lot of phosphorus and a rather large quantity of vitamins. Composition Hempseed 20% Sunflowerseed peeled 20% Peeled oats 20% Milo 15% Safflower seed 15% Millet yellow 5% Black rapeseed 5% Analytical constituants Crude protein 15.87% Crude fat 26.14% Crude ash 2.93% Crude fibre 10.32% Carbohydrates 35.32% Page 11

12 Natural Finesse Moulting Inevitable for shiny, silky soft feathers 20 KG Art. N Supplies the right chain of essential amino acids Mainly contains small, fine grains and seeds Rich in the right materials to develop new feathers The moulting season is a difficult one for the pigeon. After the continuous efforts during the racing season the pigeon s body is in need of rest and this is precisely the period during which they have to replace all their feathers. As a result of this they require a large number of essential amino acids to guarantee a proper, new coat of feathers. Feathers mainly contain mineralised proteins such as keratin which is rich in sulphur. This is why we must feed the pigeons all the necessary nutrients to meet these requirements. It is important to know that the so-called cheap mixtures generally have an unbalanced composition and do not contain enough amino acids such as methionine and cysteine. The percentage of small seeds, sunflower seeds and cardy provide these vital amino acids in adequate proportions. To help you obtain a silky smooth coat of feathers we advise the following Natural complementary products: Natural Naturamine: a tonic containing minerals, trace elements and important amino acids. Natural Naturaline: a concentrated extract composed of fifteen different plants and herbs, containing also Echinacea extracts. Natural Naturavit: a highly concentrated multivitamin complex with extraordinary qualities and stability consisting of the following essential vitamins: B1, D, A, E, K. Natural Garlic Oil: this oil is composed of pure garlic oil extracts and refined soy oil, rich in linoleic acid and linoleic acid. Natural Vitaminor: a brewer s yeast obtained from wort, grains and sugar derivatives. The raw material is exclusively supplied by breweries. It is dried thoroughly and prepared with great care for detail without the addition of any chemical agents. It fully preserves the nutritional qualities of each of its natural constituents. Rich in amino acids and B-vitamins.

32 Natural Electrolit A mixture of electrolytes and glucose for rapid recovery after a flight It is very important to give pigeons Natural Electrolit on their return from a race. The heightened metabolism and substantial exertion of the pigeon in flight result in numerous waste products. In the elimination of urea, uric and phosphoric acid, lactic and carbonic acid, mainly sodium ions are consumed and elimination is therefore dependent on the quantity of these ions available to the pigeon. Water loss is also appreciable during flight. For all these reasons it is important to give pigeons Natural Electrolit on their return from a race. This energy-drink effectively compensates water and electrolyte depletion and progressively restores the acid-base equilibrium. It also represents an immediate energy gain (glucose), which markedly shortens the recovery period. Diseases such as adenovirosis and paramyxovirosis cause diarrhoea resulting in a major loss of minerals and water loss. Natural Electrolit prevents dehydration caused by diarrhoea and accelerates the recovery from a disease. Natural Electrolit can also be mixed with Natural Tea and Natural Naturaline. Instructions for use DOSAGE 240 g packing: 1 bag of Electrolit per litre of drinking water. 750 g packing: 1 measure of Electrolit per litre of drinking water. MAINTENANCE SCHEME ON THE RETURN OF A RACE Mix Natural Electrolit in the drinking water and leave it at their disposal until after the evening meal. THE DAY OF BASKETING The pigeons that take part in long-distance and very long distance races are under way for several days and nights. It is essential that these pigeons are basketed with sufficient reserves of electrolytes (body minerals). This is why we advise to mix Natural Electrolit to the drinking water on the day of basketing. IN CASE OF SEVERE, WATERY DIARRHOEA Administer Natural Electrolit until the droppings return to normal again. 240 G Art. N G Art. N Page 32

33 Natural Garlic Oil For improved condition and health of the racing pigeon Garlic is a plant that has been known and used for thousands of years for its exceptional properties. It stimulates gastric secretion and prevents fermentation and digestive disorders. What is more, it improves the blood circulation and affords protection of the airways and protection against worms. Most pigeon fanciers are familiar with the therapeutic action of garlic and many are having their pigeons benefit from it. It is for this reason that some of them routinely put a clove of garlic in the pigeon s drinking water. This method is not effective as the virtues of the plant are essentially lost on the bird. Natural, the leading pigeon feed specialist, has had dieticians and veterinary surgeons study and solve this problem. Hence, the development of Natural Garlic Oil. Natural Garlic Oil is a product in a class of its own giving pigeons the full benefit of garlic. Natural Garlic Oil is composed of pure garlic extracts and refined soya oil, rich in linoleic acid. Natural Garlic Oil also contains vitamins E that have a favourable effect on the fertility of the pigeons and are essential to obtain properly functioning muscles and nervous system in order to enhance the pigeon s condition and health. Instructions for use DURING THE BREEDING AND MOULTING SEASON Mix Natural Garlic Oil and Natural Vitaminor twice or three times per week with the daily ration of grains. 30 drops of Natural Garlic Oil per kilo of grains. DURING THE RACING SEASON Mix Natural Garlic Oil and Natural Vitaminor with a depurative or diet mix on the day of the return from a race and the following day. 30 drops of Natural Garlic Oil per kg of grains. AS A PREPARATION BEFORE A LONG DISTANCE RACE The soya oil in the Natural Garlic Oil is the ideal substance to accumulate fat reserves in the pigeon s body. We advise: 4 to 6 days before basketing (depending on the distance) one drop of Natural Garlic Oil per pigeon, to be mixed with the daily grain ration, adding Natural Vitaminor. 200 ML Art. N ML Art.

34 Natural Coryl Optimizes breathing capacities NEW! Reduces the viscosity and the adherence of the mucus in the respiratory tree, which frees the respiratory tract and increases the capacities of oxygenation. The quantity of oxygen provided to the muscles is directly linked to their power and endurance. Such endurance relies on the aerobic degradation of the lipids which ensures a constant contribution of energy during a prolonged flight. An aqueous solution containing aromatic and fluidifying vegetable extracts. Instructions for use DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Dosage: 1 teaspoon (5 ml) per 4 liters of drinking water Length / Treatment: 2 to 3 days PERIOD Before a race or as long as breathing remains difficult. 60 ML Art. N Natural Drops For nasal and eye hygiene Natural Drops used at the time of basketing and upon returning from the race, helps limit the possibilities of development of an infection which could lead to an increased production of mucus. The use of this bactericidal solution is recommended for an excellent hygiene of the pigeon s nostrils and eyes. Natural Drops eliminates after 10 minutes and at room temperature all Gram+ and Gram- bacteria. A clear, isotonic aqueous solution containing chlorhexidine gluconate. Instructions for use DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION 1 drop in each eye and each nostril. PERIOD At the time of basketing and upon returning from the race. 15 ML Art. N Page 34

36 Natural Naturaline Concentrated extract of selected plants and greens The component plants and greens of Natural Naturaline have been carefully selected for their beneficial effects on the respiratory, digestive and urinary tracts. Natural Naturaline is a decoction concocted from some fourteen of selected plants and greens. Natural Naturaline also contains elements that enhance the general resistance of the pigeon. In addition to its active ingredients, this decoction contains many other substances that appear to contribute to the specific action of the treatments since they can accelerate or slow up their assimilation by the digestive system. Natural Naturaline keeps ph-values naturally at the proper level. The component plants and greens of Natural Naturaline have been carefully selected for their beneficial effects on the respiratory, digestive and urinary tracts. That is why pigeons that regularly receive Natural Naturaline in their drinking water present a rosy skin, indicating that their blood is pure and free from toxins. Their plumage becomes glossy and displays a unique rich, creamy smoothness. Moreover, the pigmentation and lustre of the eye are heightened. These external signs reflect an optimal health, which enables the pigeons to better resist disease and improve their performance. Instructions for use The use of Natural Naturaline is particularly advisable during the racing season, the moulting season and in case of watery droppings caused by adenovirosis and paramyxovirosis. DOSAGE One to two dessert-spoons of Natural Naturaline per litre of drinking water. MAINTENANCE SCHEME RACING SEASON During a 10-day diet Natural Naturaline is mixed with the drinking water at the beginning of the racing season. After this, twice weekly after the birds return home from a race. MOULTING SEASON One or two days per week. IN CASE OF WATERY DIARRHOEA Caused by adenovirosis and paramyxovirosis: mix Natural Naturaline daily with the drinking water as long as the symptoms persist. RECENTLY WEANED YOUNG BIRDS Mix Natural Naturaline to the drinking water for ten days. 1 L Art. N Page 36

37 Natural Naturamine Tonic consisting of minerals, trace elements and important amino acids Natural Naturamine is assimilated very easily by the pigeon organism. During the racing season Natural Naturamine enhances the pigeon s physical condition. Natural Naturamine is the ideal supplement during the breeding and moulting season. During these two periods additional administration of minerals and trace elements is essential. Regular use of Natural Naturamine guarantees a successful breeding season, healthy young birds, pigeons in top condition and a perfect moult. The Naturamine minerals and oligo-elements in liquid form are very well tolerated and absorbed as opposed to the solid substances of which only a very small percentage is absorbed, resulting in a much smaller positive effect. By adding important amino acids such as lysine which is important for the pigeon s growth process and cholin for enhanced functioning of the liver and through its specific composition, Natural Naturamine is a very efficient tonic for the pigeon s physical condition and overall health condition. Improves physical condition Improves growth Enhances the functioning of the liver Stimulates the formation of hemoglobin of the red blood cells Guarantees a silky-soft plumage Instructions for use INITIAL DOSE 5 ml - 1 coffee spoon per litre of drinking water IMPORTANT Before starting the maintenance dose a course of treatment during 5 consecutive days with a 5 ml dose per litre of drinking water must be followed. MAINTENANCE SCHEME RACING SEASON Once per week after the return from a race. BREEDING SEASON Two to three times weekly from pairing up to the time of weaning off. MOULTING SEASON Twice weekly during the entire moulting season. 500 ML Art. N Page 37

38 Natural Naturavit A Multi-Vitamin Liquid Complex Natural Naturavit allows a rapid and complete absorption of vitamins by the pigeon.

41 Natural Tea with 16 herbs A blend of 16 herbs Extensive research has led to the conclusion that Natural Tea facilitates the conditioning of pigeons in a wholly natural manner during the racing season. It even enhances that condition. Natural Tea also ensures rapid recovery after an effort. Instructions for use DOSAGE One generous dessert-spoonful of Natural Tea per litre of boiling water. Allow to infuse for 10 minutes with the lid on the pot. Filter, allow to cool and give to the pigeons as a drink. MAINTENANCE SCHEME BEFORE THE RACING SEASON To enhance the pigeon s condition, give tea daily 8 to 10 days before the first race. After this treatment, their plumage will be silkier and the pigeons will swell yet become lighter - a sign of optimum blood irrigation. DURING THE RACING SEASON On their return from a race, give the pigeons tea. If the pigeons have flown for many hours in hot weather, then you should give the pigeons Natural Tea to which Natural Electrolit has been added in order to compensate for the loss of minerals. Tea alone can still be given as a drink on the day if pigeon returns from a race as purification of the organism is desirable. DURING THE MOULTING PERIOD The pigeon must cope with a substantial energy demand and top condition is crucial to a perfect moult. Natural Tea, given 1-2 days per week during this period, facilitates the optimal regeneration of the plumage. 300 G Art. N Page 41

42 Natural Vitamineral Vitaminised minerals Natural Vitamineral contains all the minerals necessary for a balanced diet.

49 Natural Small Seeds A mixture of plate millet, linseed, rapeseed, clipped oats rice, hempseed* and canary seed We are convinced that small seeds, when given in moderation, play a role in safeguarding their form. Some pigeon fanciers claim that small seeds overstimulate pigeons and therefore tend to shorten the period in which they remain in top form for races. We are convinced, on the contrary, that small seeds, when given in moderation, play a role in safeguarding their form since they constitute an energizing nutrient supplement capable of developing form in several respects. If after their morning and evening training sessions, the widowers discover a pinch of small seeds in their nest box, they will develop the habit of returning more rapidly. *where hempseed is allowed. Instructions for use A small tea-spoonful of small seeds per day per pigeon during the racing season will enhance the condition of the pigeons and their resistance to temperature variations. 1,5 KG Art.

50 Natural Picking Stone Brings the field to the pigeon loft Natural Picking stone consists of a dozen of natural ingredients. It contains clay, seaweed, magnesium, grit, redstone, oyster shells, stomach grit, charcoal etc. Natural Picking Stone offers an important supplement of natural minerals and oligo-elements. Natural Picking Stone does not contain any appetite stimulating substances and meets a natural habit of the pigeon. The pigeons will only pick on it when they really feel a need, e.g. during the breeding season, after a race or during the moulting season. In the course of the years Natural Picking Stone has turned into a the standard reference for the racing pigeon s feed. It is sold in over 40 countries. Over a quarter of a million pigeon fanciers feed Natural Picking Stone to their pigeons. It is by far the most popular picking stone for racing pigeons in the world. Natural Picking Stones are freshly made every week and an essential element in the modern racing pigeon s feed. Instructions for use This product should be made available to pigeons during the whole year. 620 G Art. N x 620 G Art. N Page 50

51 Natural Pick Pot Brings the field to the pigeon loft The Natural Pick Pot contains roughly the same ingredients as the famous Natural Picking Stone. The fancier who prefers a concentrated picking stone packed in an earthenware jar will be delighted with the Natural Pick Pot. Like the Natural Picking Stone, the Natural Pick Pot guarantees an important contribution of minerals and trace elements. The Natural Pick Pot is made from natural products, without added appetiteenhancing substances. Instructions for use This product should be made available to pigeons during the whole year. 400 G Art.

53 HYGIENE Products Through the years Natural Granen has developed a number of hygiene products that contribute considerably to increased hygiene in the loft and of the pigeon. Natural BATH SALT p. 54 Natural GRANULATED FLOOR COVERING p. 55 Natural LOFT WHITE p. 56 Natural ITEC SPRAY p. 57 Natural TOBACCO STALKS p. 58

54 Natural Bath Salt For improved hygiene of the feathers Natural Bath Salt is a highly quality product aimed at satisfying the most demanding pigeon fancier. The raw materials used in its production are the same as those used in bath salts for human consumption.there will not be any blue or yellow tingeing, as no chemical colouring is used in its composition and only natural pine extracts are used. Natural Bath Salt gives a soft, smooth plumage and rids the epidermis of any flakiness (dandruff) without irritating the skin. It tones up and stimulates the organism when administered in a cold bath. However, it relaxes the muscles and accelerates the recovery process at the return of races if the bath is warm. It is thus the ideal product for pigeon fanciers used to give their pigeons a warm bath when they return from races. Its natural disinfecting action provides a good body hygiene and rids the plumage of vermin. We therefore recommend you add Natural Bath Salt to the bath water once or twice a month during moulting as it is important for the growth of new feathers not be disturbed by parasites. This is particularly important during the moulting period as the tonic effect of the Natural Bath Salt stimulates blood circulation and helps the moulting of the downfeathers. Natural Bath Salt efficiently contributes to the health of the new plumage. During the racing season, the regular use of Natural Bath Salt will keep the feathers glossy and smooth. At their return from a difficult race we recommend you add the contents of half a lid of Natural Bath Salt to a bucket filled with warm water and immerse the pigeons one by one for one minute while lightly massaging their pectoral muscles. Instructions for use DOSAGE One capful of Natural Bath Salt for 20 litres of bathing water. DURING THE MOULTING SEASON Add Natural Bath Salt to the bath water once or twice a month. DURING THE RACING SEASON At their return from a difficult race we recommend you add the contents of half a lid of Natural Bath Salt to a bucket filled with warm water and immerse the pigeons one by one for one minute while lightly massaging their pectoral muscles. 650 G Art. N Page 54

55 Natural Granulated Floor Covering Anti-coccidiosis for improved hygiene in the loft For the pigeon fanciers with only a limited amount of time to spend on their loft, the Natural Granulated Floorcovering is the ideal help. The Natural Granulated Floorcovering is a natural product consisting of lava drawn from the subsoil. The treatment and the granulation of this particularly porous substance offer it an exceptional absorbing power: 1 kg of granules can easily absorb 1 litre of water. Thanks to this the Natural Granulated Floorcovering guarantees perfect hygiene in the loft. When the pigeon s droppings fall on the granules, they dry in no time, which stops the contamination cycle by parasites. The use of Natural Granulated Floorcovering practically stops maturation of the oocysts of coccidiosis and of the eggs of the ascarids. Moreover, the granules absorb the smell of the droppings. When small birds eject liquid droppings, some granules can be strewn around the nestbowls to absorb the humidity and the odours. The Natural Granulated Floorcovering maintains its absorbing capacity for a very long time, which makes it economic to use. It can stay in the loft for one year provided it is raked weekly. When the granules and droppings are removed from the loft they can be used as an excellent fertilizer in the vegetable and flower garden. The Natural Granulated Floorcovering is harmless to pigeons. It is the ideal formula to keep your loft dry and clean. Young birds love to lay down in Natural Granulated Floorcovering. Their droppings dry quickly and their feet are always clean. Natural Granulated Floorcovering - a bag of 20 kg covers 1,5m 2 Instructions for use Spread the Natural Granulated Floor Covering equally over the floor of the pigeon loft. 20 KG Art. N Page 55

56 Natural Loft White An efficient, useful and practical cleaning product for pigeon lofts A powerful absorbent and desinfectant made of finely ground chalk. Simply dust some Natural Loft White on the spots with damp droppings to dry them. One can also brush the loft floor with some Natural Loft White during the daily maintenance, to remove all traces of dampness. Natural Loft White therefore contributes to the overall hygiene in the loft, and it gives the loft a scent of freshness. Instructions for use Simply dust some Natural Loft White on the spots with damp droppings to dry them. One can also brush the loft floor with some Natural Loft White during the daily maintenance, to remove all traces of dampness. 2,5 KG Art. N Page 56

57 Natural ITEC Spray An efficient remedy against external parasites The Natural ITEC Spray is a very efficient product against external parasites and other vermin. It can also be used for pigeon lofts, baskets and transporters. It is completely innocuous for pigeons and they do not even have to be removed for the loft while it is being treated. The pigeons can also be individually treated without any risk by spraying them under the wings. Natural ITEC Spray contains no CFK s. Check for availability in your country. Instructions for use DURING THE RACING SEASON Slightly spray underneath the wings of pigeons that are going to be basketed. By doing so you offer them an efficient and guaranteed protection against parasites during transport. Regularly spray baskets and all corners and cracks of the loft. DURING ANNUAL CLEANING AFTER THE MOULT Slightly spray the corners and cracks of the loft as it is mainly here that ticks, red mites and other external parasites hide. 750 ML Art. N Page 57

58 Natural Tobacco Stalks The ideal nest material The Natural Tobacco Stalks are a particularly suitable nesting material, pigeons like to use to build their nest. The nesting plays an important part in the relationship between the male and the female on the one hand and in the attachment of a couple to their nest on the other hand. It is evident that suitable nesting material enhances the breeding results. Moreover the Natural Tobacco Stalks are a natural and efficient means to protect the breeding pairs and their youngsters against external parasites (red mite, feather mite and ticks). All this has a favourable effect on the breeding results. The Natural Tobacco Stalks are a natural product that is easy to use. Just make the Natural Tobacco Stalks readily available to the pigeons when they are building their nest. Natural Tobacco Stalks are also ideally suited as floorcovering in baskets. Instructions for use Make the Natural Tobacco Stalks readily available to the pigeons when they are building their nest. 2,5 KG Art. N Page 58
