it .On what follows i will describe the use of Bio Apple Cider Vinegar or ACV in our pigeons diet...here we go again: For centuries, apple cider vinegar has been used to help cure and prevent all sorts of health problems in humans and animals.

agitate the mixed content before we offer it to our birds. 1 tablespoon per 1 litre of water ,give it a good shake place it in the drinker and then serve it to your pigeons .

We can also use this product on the food itself and the rigfht dosage will be 1 teaspoon per 1 kilogram of food. All we need to do is sprinkle it on the food ,mix it well and then let it dry for 1 hour. After 1 hour we can serve it to our birds. .

Optimum growth and development of internal organs.

Perfectly developed skeleton.

Improved feather growth, color and condition.

Prevention and treatment of internal and external parasites.

Protection against mycotoxins.

Prevention of bacterial and viral infections, and much more. Tested over and over again by myself and other fanciers worldwide these natural remedies have proved to be extremely efficient although their effect will take a little longer than chemically produced antibiotics to show .I strongly believe that we must always follow and live in life according to principles theories or philosophies that we can apply them into practice in our day by day life. A theory that does not have practical applications remains just a theory while the time spent in reading and learning it remains a waste of precious time. In pigeon racing sport a question we must always ask ourselves when such theories comes before our eyes is:

"Will this work for my pigeons" ?. We must always be in the look for better, easier, safer methods regarding all the aspects of the

racing pigeons sport. I have always said in my books that when we think we have found something that will benefit our birds we should always try it ,But when we do this we should always try it on a very small number of birds and monitor the results. Where the results are those expected we should further implemented in our lofts, and where the results are not there we should simply walk away from it. Natural Remedies have been around for many many years and the one thing that puts a lot of people off by using them is Commodity or the fact that we have never heard of them before or how to proper use them. Before i start describing the second Natural Product i will always recommend everyone to use half of the dosage presented in the case it has never been used before and gradually increase
