NEW NATURAL FINESSE = FEED LESS BUT BETTER!

NEW Finesse represents a modern feeding method with highly varied, ideally balanced and attractive mixtures. Finesse is based on the most recent knowledge in the field of feeds. Finesse focuses on the pigeon fancier who prefers a simple but efficient feeding method. A range of 5 new mixtures with small, fine ingredients. Fully in line with the Finesse feeding method. Finesse was specially designed for the modern pigeon fancier. A small step for the modern pigeon fancier, but a giant leap for the pigeons. FEEDING FINESSE = FEEDING ON THE BASIS OF THE MOST RECENT KNOW-HOW The Finesse system and the Finesse mixtures were tested by different pigeon fanciers and in several top lofts. By combining our knowledge and experience regarding the nutritional requirements of the pigeon during the breeding, racing, moulting and resting season Natural was able to work out the basis of the Finesse mixtures. Finesse mixtures: Are a quality product Have a very varied composition Have a well-balanced nutritional pattern Meet the requirements of the pigeon Guarantee a high intake and reduced waste Were tested worldwide by successful pigeon fanciers Were successfully tested in lofts of our staff Benefit both to pigeons and fanciers NATURAL FINESSE = FEED LESS BUT BETTER!

START High protein contents Provides ideal protein contents during the breeding period Guarantees growth and maintenance of the body Small grains and seeds are ideal for weaning Only the very best preparation of the breeding pigeons before coupling and proper care during the breeding season are able to guarantee vital young pigeons. Feeding a well-balanced diet is one of the main elements to guarantee good breeding results. We advise to feed Finesse Start from ten days before coupling. From that moment onwards we advise to feed the breeders at least two days per week 5 ml of Naturamine per litre of drinking water. If the breeding pigeons are taken care of in this way it will result in the laying of their eggs without problems and they will have the opportunity to pass on good characteristics to their young. It is important during the breeding period to feed Natural Vitamineral, Grit and Picking Stone every day. If the cock is chasing the hen and the breeding couples are rearing the youngsters, mix Natural Garlic Oil (enriched with vitamin E) with the Finesse Start and dry the mix with Vitaminor Brewer s Yeast. Wait for approximately one hour before feeding until the mix is dry. The highly varied composition of Natural Finesse Start with small ingredients guarantees ideal intake of this feed and provides all the necessary proteins for successful breeding. These proteins also guarantee ideal growth of the young birds. You must realise that the newly born youngsters will increase their weight 100 times by the time they are 25 days old! Feed Natural Finesse Start from weaning until the end of May.

LIGHT Has low protein contents Has a purifying effect With paddy rice: rich in fibres + rich in vitamin B - has a higher nutritional value than barley - is digested better than barley by pigeons Has an ideal energetic value In the past, pigeon fanciers mainly used barley as the barometer in the mixtures to find out when the pigeons were satisfied (the barley was left behind), today pigeon fanciers prefer to feed a light mixture such as Finesse Light. Use with young birds three weeks after weaning in combination with Finesse Start. Instructions for use: see feeding schedules in combination with flight distances.

Is a highly varied and excellent racing mixture Contains easily digestible proteins Guarantees the right intake of easily digestible fats One of the main assets to score with widowers is to feed them a mixture that meets their specific nutritional requirements during the racing season. The Finesse feed concept was subjected to practical tests and we were able to discover for ourselves that the Finesse feed concept fully meets the requirements of the widowers during the racing season. Elements which play an important part in the feeding of pigeons during the racing season: A. SWIFT RECOVERY To obtain swift recovery after the race the widowers are first fed one meal of Finesse Condition + 4 g Nutripower per pigeon. Nurtripower contains easily digestible proteins, amino acids, lipids and carbohydrates. First mix 20 g of Natural Electrolit and then 5 ml of Naturamine per litre of drinking water to guarantee swift recovery of the pigeons and keep their muscles in top condition. Only ideally functioning muscles can be loaded with energy. B. HOW TO LOAD THE MUSCLES WITH ENERGY Instructions for use: see feeding schedule in combination with the flight distances. This easily digestible racing mixture provides all the energy that is required via three different kinds of top quality maize (French cribs, Bordeaux and popcorn) as well as small seeds. The ideal balance between grains and seeds in the Finesse mixtures guarantees a high intake as long as it is fed until the very last race. Moisten the feed with Natural Garlic Oil during the second half of the week. This product contains vitamin E, soy oil and lecithin, which accelerates the conversion of the fat-containing ingredients of this mixture into maximum energy. The mix that is moistened with the garlic oil must be left to dry with Vitaminor brewer s yeast. Thanks to Vitaminor, which contains vitamins B and high quality trace elements, you improve the condition of the pigeons. Finesse Energy Plus is an energy-rich mixture containing 17.5 % fats which allow you to top up the pigeon s body with extra energy (2889 Kcal). C. HEALTHY PIGEONS Healthy pigeons perform better. Nobody will challenge that. To keep pigeons healthy does not mean that they must be excessively subjected to different cures. Pigeons that are given too much medicines won t last long. Try to maintain a high level of resistance of the pigeons in a natural way by providing them with the most simple feed supplements. Naturaline, Naturamine, Vitaminor and Naturavit Plus are the best examples for this.

Rich in easily digestible fats Mainly contains small, fine grains and seeds Ideal for topping up the pigeon s energy tank Specially recommended for extra feeding of the pigeons before basketing Pigeons have a fat metabolism. This means that the pigeons draw their energy mainly from fats. Fat is the main basic fuel for the pigeon s metabolism and is the most important energy source for the pigeon s breast muscles. The right fatty acids also play an important part in the building of their overall condition and resistance. But beware: proper reserves of carbohydrates should not be underestimated. This type of energy can be released very quickly by the pigeon s organism when a sudden and short energy boost is necessary e.g. during short but intense efforts during take-off after having been released, while climbing, landing, avoiding obstacles and when accelerating. Why does the Finesse Energy Plus contain so much safflower seed? Safflower seed is rich in easily digestible and high quality proteins, while containing a lot of oil (= rich in fat), a lot of phosphorus and a rather large quantity of vitamins. Why safflower seed rather than sunflower seeds? Both are comparable. However, the kernel or heart of safflower seed is always nicely filled with a thin hull or shell and in sunflower seeds we regularly find a small kernel or heart and a thick hull or shell. This is the reason why in this mixture safflower seed is preferred to sunflower seeds.

MUTINE Supplies the right chain of essential amino acids Mainly contains small, fine grains and seeds Rich in the right materials to develop new feathers The moulting season is a difficult one for the pigeon. After the continuous efforts during the racing season the pigeon s body is in need of rest and this is precisely the period during which they have to replace all their feathers. As a result of this they require a large number of essential amino acids to guarantee a proper, new coat of feathers. Feathers mainly contain mineralised proteins such as keratin which is rich in sulphur. This is why we must feed the pigeons all the necessary nutrients to meet these requirements. It is important to know that the so-called cheap mixtures generally have an unbalanced composition and do not contain enough amino acids such as methionine and cysteine. The percentage of small seeds, sunflower seeds and cards provide these vital amino acids in adequate proportions. To help you obtain a silky smooth coat of feathers we advise the following Natural complementary products: Naturamine: a tonic containing minerals, trace elements and important amino acids Naturaline: a concentrated extract composed of fifteen different plants and herbs, containing also Echinacea extracts. Naturavit Plus: a highly concentrated multivitamin complex with extraordinary qualities and stability consisting of the following essential vitamins: B1, D, A, E, K. Garlic Oil: this oil is composed of pure garlic oil extracts and refined soy oil, rich in linoleic acid and linoleic acid. Vitaminor: a brewer s yeast obtained from wort, grains and sugar derivatives. The raw material is exclusively supplied by breweries. It is dried thoroughly and prepared with great care for detail without the addition of any chemical agents. It fully preserves the nutritional qualities of each of its natural constituents. Rich in amino acids and B-vitamins.
