Arasco pellets are suitable
and very economical to make strong squab.
The nutritional needs for each couple of
pigeons with 15 squab are aound 40-45 kg
annually without any additions. If the
breeding went well, the genetic potentials
of these breeds could be exploited to produce
good broiler breeds.
ARASCO feed is distinguished from grain mixtures (mixed) in that it is of high
quality and the grain of the pellets contains the natural materials of corn,
bran, wheat, vitamins, soya bean (soya bean is the richest and best source of
protein, and corn, which is the largest component of a balance pellet, is the
major source of carbohydrates) and mixed mineral elements in a homogenous manner
provided that they don’t give the birds the freedom to select types at
the cost of other types as in the mixed grains which effectively contributes
in redressing the requirements of proteins (soya bean is the richest and best
source of protein), carbohydrates (corn, which is the largest component of a
balance pellet, is the major source of carbohydrates) , fats and vitamins during
the important periods of the life of the bird (growth, mating and production
of fledgling). In addition, proper nutrition with the right kind of feed encourages
sexual maturity of the bird.
ARASCO provides a number of balanced formulas of concentrated feeds for fattening
and breeding of pigeons whether for specialized pigeon projects or for amateur
breeders.
It is available in all regions of the kingdom at ARASCO branches or at authorized
distributors.
ARASCO pigeon
forage
Protein level in pigeon
forage is around 17% which is the best
level for laying eggs and for growth.
First: fattening feeds:
Normal pigeon feed of 17% protein code
45002 given at a rate of 120 gm for each
bird:
- These are formulas prepared specifically
to go with all the growth stages of
the local and imported bird. It provides
them with high levels of protein and
amino acids that is important for the
growth, continuous repair of bone and
muscle tissue and in disease resistance
as well as in growing squab and laying
eggs. In low protein forage, the birds
do not resist illnesses and needs more
time to recover and the death rate
is higher. During the first stages
of growth, protein need is higher and
if there were a shortage in its level
the growth stops.
- It is also important to provide other
basic ingredients such as vitamins
and minerals. These two help organize
the biological process for the equilibrium
of the bird. These are added in specific
amounts, these vitamins are:
Vitamin A
It raises the productivity level, growth
and illness resistance. It is also important
for the eye functions,
Vitamin B:
It has an important role in food assimilation.
Vitamin C
It is basically for stress resistance,
raising the bird’s ability to resist
illness and temperature variations. It
also prompts growth.
Vitamin D
It has a direct effect of assimilation
of Calcium and Phosphorus and in bone building.
Second : feeds for
carrier pigeon and display pigeon:
Extruded Pigeon feed
Extruded pigeon feed 17% protein code 84252
at rate of 100 gm per bird a day:
- ARASCO provides high
quality specialized pigeon feed for
carrier pigeons and display pigeons.
The feed is extruded (feed cooked
under very high temperature using
water vapor) at capacity of 8 tons/hour.
This is the latest method of feed
processing rewarded IZO 9002.
- This line can produce
all kinds of feeds for all breeds
of pigeons (broiler local and imported
pigeon, carrier pigeon, and display
pigeon). ARASCO central laboratories
guarantees conformity to the international
standards and the Saudi standards.
- These extruded feeds
are characterized by its consistency
and the lack of powder. High temperature
and grinding of feed increases its
nutritional value and disinfects
the feed.
- These feeds are homogenously
proportioned to include Protein,
Carbohydrates and energy, in addition
to vitamins and minerals that are
important for growth and for proper
biological functions of the whole
body.
- The grains in these
extruded feeds include high levels
of energy that enables the pigeons
to fly for long distances.
Benefits and Advantages of Arasco extruded
Feeds for breeders:
- Great reduction of the loss of feed,
which leads to reduction of production
cost and increasing the profitability.
- Good rate of food conversion and
at a less marketing age.
- race pigeons need a balanced and
high level of protein feed. In
extruded feed protein is more digestible
which makes pigeons obtain optimum
benefit.
- the feeds contain ground components
of high nutritional value, this would
cover the pigeon’s nutritional
needs for all stages.
- fast processing of the feeds which
enables the breeder to have fresh feed
within hours.
- less storage and transport period
because of the proximity of the plant
and the availability of distributors
in all regions of the kingdom.
- the quality of the feed is guaranteed
by our central laboratories that conform
to the strictest international standards.
Feeding troughs:
They should be provided with suitable covers
or barriers to avoid contamination.
Drinking troughs:
They should be deep and protected from
contamination.
The feed offering method and measuring the quantity:
Feed should be offered twice daily; morning
and evening. Breeders should offer feed
enough to be consumed within one to two
hours, and then the remaining feed should
be discarded. There should be enough troughs
to take in all the pigeons at once.
If the remaining feed is large, the quantity
of feed should be reduced. If, on the other
hand, the pigeons finished the feed in
an hour and started looking for more the
feed amount should be increased. With experience
the breeder will be able to estimate the
proper daily amount needed for his pigeons.
Points to be taken into consideration when
feeding pigeons:
- The pigeons cannot
consume mixtures of fine particles,
ground grains are less hygienic and
sucks moisture and rots faster. For
all these reasons it is better to
use ARASCO pigeon feeds .
- Pigeons consume more
feed when the nutritional value of
the feed is low and when they have
squab.
- The little squab
are more affected when low nutritious
feed is offered.
- pigeon squabs need
five to six weeks to be able to fly.
This depends on the quality of feed
and the caring of the parent pigeons,
as there are uncaring pigeon parents.
- Feed should not be
offered on the floor, as it might
get polluted with pigeon dirt and
this might cause illneses.
- Feed consumption
is more in winter than in the summer
time.
- Coarse sand and mineral
mixture () should always be available
for pigeons.
