INSTRUCTION FOR USE

Add to the grain after race – 1 dinner spoon (8-10 gram) per kilo grain. If hard race / long distance race, also give on grain the day in the afternoon and on the day after return.

For optimal recuperation we recommend to moisture the grain with the Omega-3 oil due to it’s enrihed content of omega-3 fatty acids and natural E-vitamin, and to add RECUP Free-Amino-Acids on the moistured grain together with RECUP Oxy+ (natural flavonoids and antioxidants) and Progut (prebiotics)

RECUP Free-Amino-Acids is also beneficial for the breeders with YBs in the nest and for the pigeons in the moulting season.

RECUP Free-Amino-Acids

Free amino acids as a feed additive for fast recuperation of racing pigeons after races – as compared to protein powders – do have many advantages:

Faster Absorption and Utilization:

Free amino acids are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, immediately providing the building blocks for muscle repair and growth, bypassing the need for digestion. This is unlike protein powders which require time and energy to be broken down into usable forms.

Reduced Digestive Burden:

After races, pigeons’ bodies are stressed, and their digestive systems might not function optimally. Free amino acids, requiring minimal digestion, reduce the workload on the pigeon’s digestive system, allowing more energy to be allocated to recovery and muscle regeneration.

Specific Amino Acid Targeting:

Free amino acid supplements allow for customization of amino acid profiles to match the specific recovery needs of pigeons after racing. Examples are the ones that lack in grain – such as e.g. L-methionine and L-lysine.  Protein powders, while rich in amino acids, have ofgten fixed ratios that may not optimally support pigeons’ recovery needs.

Enhanced Muscle Recovery:

The direct availability of essential amino acids supports faster and more efficient muscle recovery, crucial for repairing muscle damage caused by intense physical exertion during races.

Improved Performance Over Time:

With faster recovery times and the ability to quickly rebuild and strengthen muscles, pigeons may experience improved performance in subsequent races.

Support for Feather Health:

Certain amino acids are critical for feather health and regeneration, important for the aerodynamics and overall condition of racing pigeons. Balanced free amino acid supplements can provide these specific amino acids for feather synthesis and repair.

Reduced Ammonia Production: Protein powders, when digested and metabolized, produce more ammonia, a by-product that can be toxic and requires energy to excrete. Free amino acids, being directly absorbed, can lead to less ammonia production, thus reducing potential toxicity and conserving energy for recovery and detoxification processes.

These advantages are the reason for our introduction of RECUP Free-Amino-Acids to support the fast recuperation of racing pigeons. It is our believe that free amino acids offer a more efficient, targeted approach to recuperation and overall performance enhancement for racing pigeons compared to traditional protein powders when administrated the hours and perhaps the 1-2 days after demanding races. Note however that a balanced grain mixture the next days after demanding races enriched with fat and protins are recommend – and also in accordance with the recommendation of the grain suppliers.
