What causes pigeons to lose weight? Generally, there are two kinds of diseases and non-diseases. Of course, weight loss caused by diseases is harmful, but non-disease weight loss is sometimes beneficial. Let's talk separately.

First, after strict road training, the time and distance of road training can be arranged by the pigeon owner himself, and no one will send pigeons to distant places for training in bad weather. Most of the weight lost by pigeons is water and fat in the body. Pigeons become lighter and stronger, which has advantages and disadvantages.

But when pigeons without fat are really going to fight, will they run out of energy and be exhausted in training? If you train nervously and don't pay attention to the weight change of pigeons, this may happen.

The countermeasure is to increase the content of fat (such as peanuts) and carbohydrate (such as corn) in the feed during training.

Second, it takes a long distance to participate in difficult competitions, and you have to fly in bad weather. Pigeons often run out of energy. You can't go home after burning conventional energy such as fat and carbohydrates. At this time, pigeons must burn non-fuel protein to produce endurance. Burning protein means burning muscles. At this time, the muscles are directly injured and the pigeons become thinner. When the injury is deep, some muscles will scar. This is an internal injury. If you can't see it, your career is over.

One thing to remind is, when judging whether the damaged muscles have recovered, we should avoid being misled by hitting the face and filling fat. Because some pigeons have muscle swelling for a day or two after muscle injury, and they seem to have gained a little weight. If the pigeon owner doesn't look at it and thinks that the pigeon has recovered and doesn't need to rest, he will start training again and prepare for the next game. In the end, the pigeon is unlucky.

3. Nervous pigeons make Xiang's male pigeons more nervous during courtship and Luofu system. It is difficult for them to calm down. Not only can they not have a good meal, but their physical energy consumption is also fast. Therefore, the male pigeon of Luofu should have its own feed trough.

Don't feed it when you first return to the nest. Wait a few minutes to calm down and then feed it. Don't often go to the pigeon house to disturb their rest.

Nervous tension can cause defecation, so pay attention to the supply of water to maintain normal weight.

Fourth, laying eggs, the secretion of pigeon milk and the feeding of young pigeons all require a lot of energy, and pigeons will naturally lose weight.

Adult pigeon competitions are all held in spring. Pigeons will get fat if they don't exercise all winter. Let them feed a young pigeon before starting training, and the weight loss effect will be better.

5. Parasites in the body, especially those in the stomach, such as coccidia and nematodes, not only share pigeon nutrition, but also cause gastrointestinal inflammation. Most of the food eaten in the stomach is directly excreted and cannot be digested and utilized. The earliest symptom of parasites is loss of appetite.
