Defo, its always good to get first hand information and now to follow the race, well at least the birds trapping at the end of the race
Plus contacting Leon during the Live Stream with any questions

16.07.2026

Feeding: 50% Mifuma Relax 50% Mifuma Top energy.

Suppelents: Tolisan Tollyamin Forte in water.

Training: 15 miles

Note: Only trained the cocks today. 1 missing from about 50. once again tollyamin forte in water for regeneration in preperation phase we give this 2-3x a week most certainly my favorite supplement.
Tomorrows training is canceled because they want to train with a few people from a different combine and the distance is to short for me to think the birds got time to seperate so we either train on our own or just let them fly on the house again.
If next week the combine training starts this was the last road training we might do today.Birds are all in top shape everything is fine

The reason is that before monday i was still feeding rather heavy. And i now give 50% top energy in the mixture which is lighter then before but not a drastic change. Basically just slowly getting them used to the new feeding that they will get for racing and also slimming them down slowly.
In my opinion its deadly to drastically changes stuff specially when it comes to feeding.

And top energy is still a somewhat light mixture with 12,7% protein and just 8,7% fat

Can you give us an update, on how training is going for the young birds, Leon. You have a good number of young birds in your team, its going to be a good young bird season to follow.
