B12 orally or injectable we have divided opinions

Talk about anything racing pigeon related here aslong as there isnt a section for it.

So I've always used injectable b12 all my career, it delivers 100 percent into the system and we avoid interrupting the digestive tract, I personally don't believe I could achieve what I do without using it in injectable form as orally it's not the same thing imo and doesn't give the same response, we give b12 injections for muscle and immune system and the red blood cell count we want high! What's people's opinions on this? And has or does anyone do this? And if you don't give it a try 😁

To be honest i never did it myself, but i am one for prevention. To me it does sound like a very good practice, so how long have you been carrying out this Danny.? The digestive tract is so important.

@devo around 15 years it does so many jobs especially during vaccination breeding moult racing fertility, - Stimulates the production of red blood cells in the blood.
- Improves blood oxygenation
- Increases physical performance
- Increases estrus and the desire to fly.
- Improves flight endurance
- Promotes recovery after flights
- Very beneficial during molting, supporting the formation of the new plumage.
- Increases fertility, improving the percentage of fertilized eggs in problem pigeons
- Increases vitality of the young pigeons
- Reinforces the general condition in situations of stress, vaccinations or changes of environment
