I think this shows that there are so many ways to feed when racing!

I recently got the Nigel Cowood system, and the feeding method in that is blowing my mind!!

Yeah. Good vid that Dev. It gives a very general view of the all important principles of feeding for racing which are all detailed and outlined very clearly.
Nice one mate.

This year i went with 4 different mixes. but im gonna make things more simple next year and go down to 2 mixtures. Only things i really like is an additional fat resource towards the end of the week. Preferably peanuts. i use peeled sunflower seeds which are also great. As a little snack after the last meal of the day. in their boxes for extra motivation and bond to their box

To be honest Leon, I know you and your dad will be going through all the pro and cons of your feeding system. So it will be good to know of the outcome.

Great video to watch Devo, I wouldn't even know where to start with pigeon feed, what to give them and how much per day this is something I will need to focus on
