Our Pigeon Pearls, Aktiv Perle, Vollkraft Perle, and Vital Perle, are high quality complementary products designed to enhance any pigeon feed. Whether during the racing season, molting, or breeding, pigeons are reliably and consistently supplied. As we believe that good can always be improved, these Tauben-Perlen now also include an innovative functional fiber carrier combination. While this may sound complex, it simply means an additional natural source of crude fiber that supports digestive processes and contributes to a well functioning immune system.
Fiber, an underestimated all rounder
Although crude fiber is sometimes seen merely as a way to dilute rations, recent scientific findings clearly show that a balanced spectrum of functional fibers supports a stable digestive system. Some fiber sources also provide additional benefits by delivering readily available proteins alongside their fiber effects. Especially during periods of stress, such as weaning young pigeons or during the racing season, an increased supply of selected fibers can be beneficial. In these phases, they form the foundation for a stable and resilient digestion. Performance begins in the gut. That is why Mifuma Pigeon Pearls like Aktiv Perle, Vollkraft Perle, and Vital Perle, now include a functional fiber carrier combination as an additional component.
Advantages of functional fibers at a glance
- Support a balanced gut flora
- Optimize digestive processes
- Bind excess water and unwanted bacteria in the digestive tract
- Support the immune system
- Provide energy, vitamins, and amino acids
Lotte Giza, veterinarian for racing pigeons:
“The gut, as the largest part of the immune system, is constantly challenged in pigeons. There are factors which, when aligned with digestive physiology, can have lasting positive effects on the entire organism. One of these is a well balanced portion of fibers in the ration. The structural framework of plant cells is referred to as fiber and consists of different fractions. These natural components are not digestible for pigeons, but highly valuable. Functional fibers regulate the entire digestive process through prebiotic and mechanical effects. Many fiber sources also provide considerable amounts of essential amino acids and other important nutrients. In veterinary practice, fiber supply is a reliable foundation for feeding. It allows pigeons to meet performance demands in a more stable and robust way throughout the year.”
