I’ve a good friend that’s used it since available in the UK. Has won 3 x 1st Nationals. I had good results at 500 - 600 mls. Problem was I felt the birds required training hard as weight went on them very quickly. The friend who won the nationals trains very hard.
I see Ss seeds now stock it, a bit easier to purchase, rather than getting a seasons feeding it at the same time.

The original Matador nutritionalist started up his own brand a couple of years ago called Aidi. Think this corn is mixed by Vanroabies for them. Many Belgium and Dutch lofts have went on to their mixtures. Seen PIPA using their breeding mix.
Had my hens on it last year, flying between 1 hour and 2 hours every time I let them out.

The Aldi mixtures on the web site I seen before looked really good and well thought out for the work rate and distance
Had mixed reports one friend liked em one friend went on the 1,2,3 mix system was racing rubbish went bk on versel laga won everything and a national
So definitely sceptical about all these mixes .

Years ago we made 3 mixes from gaby vanderbelle mix we sieved the mix separated the maize that made a light mix ,then we had the full mix, then we adjusted the maize depending on wind and either added protein via powder or peas .
