Black pigeon minerals 3kg

When pigeons are pushed to their limits in training and racing, the digestive system is often the first place stress shows. Loose droppings, variable condition and poor feed conversion can rob a promising bird of form. Black Pigeon Minerals combine the benefits of traditional mineral mixes with the cleansing action of natural charcoal, providing a powerful tool for maintaining gut health, condition and vitality in the racing loft.

What makes black pigeon minerals different?

The hallmark of black minerals for pigeons is the inclusion of high-quality charcoal alongside a blend of mineral sources and grit. Charcoal has long been used in bird keeping because of its ability to bind acids and unwanted substances in the digestive tract.

Combined with essential pigeon minerals, this creates a supplement that not only supplies nutrients, but also helps keep the crop and intestine in good working order.

Digestive support with charcoal

Charcoal’s extremely porous structure gives it a huge internal surface area. This allows it to:

• Bind and neutralise toxins and fermentation gases in the gut

• Support firmer droppings and a healthier intestinal environment

• Help stabilise digestion after feed changes, stress or antibiotic treatments

For racing pigeons, a settled digestive system means better appetite, more efficient use of feed and a cleaner loft – all signs of birds that are ready to perform.

Comprehensive minerals for racing pigeons

Alongside charcoal, Black Pigeon Minerals provide a broad range of mineral elements commonly included in black mineral formulations:

• Calcium & phosphorus – For strong bones, steady perching and powerful wing strokes

• Magnesium – Supports muscle function and energy production

• Iron – Key for healthy blood and oxygen transport

• Manganese & zinc – Important for metabolism, feather quality and immune function

• Iodine – Supports thyroid activity and overall vitality

• Salt and other electrolytes – Help maintain fluid balance, especially in hot weather

By covering these fundamentals, black pigeon minerals act as both a digestive aid and a complete mineral mix for racing pigeons.

Ideal times to use Black Pigeon Minerals

• During the racing season – Offer regularly to keep digestion sharp and prevent the build-up of unwanted fermentation in the crop and intestines, especially when birds are receiving rich energy mixes.

• After medication or stress – Charcoal and minerals can help the gut recover its natural balance after antibiotic courses, illness, transport or sudden weather changes.

• Young bird education – Young racers often experiment with different feeds, pick at loft litter or drink from unusual puddles during training; black minerals help “mop up” unwanted substances and keep them on track.

• All-year health maintenance – Many fanciers keep a pot of black minerals in the loft year-round as an easy way to support condition and droppings.

How to feed Black Pigeon Minerals

• Offer in a clean mineral pot or small grit tray, allowing birds to self-select.

• Refresh frequently; charcoal can absorb moisture and odours from the loft, so it is best provided fresh.

• You can also mix a light sprinkle of black minerals into your standard grit or over moistened grain once or twice a week.

Because charcoal can bind not only toxins but also certain medications and nutrients, avoid feeding black minerals at the same time as medicated water or special vitamin treatments; instead, use them on alternate days.

Combining black minerals with other pigeon mineral products

A strong minerals for racing pigeons programme often includes:

• A daily general mineral & grit mix (such as your Racing Pigeon Minerals product)

• Pink minerals for pigeons in the breeding and moult periods

• Black pigeon minerals several times per week for digestive support and form

Used together in this way, your birds receive structural minerals, breeding-focused nutrients and charcoal-supported gut health – a comprehensive approach that underpins consistent racing and breeding results.

Visible signs your birds are benefiting

Fanciers using high-quality black minerals commonly report:

• Firmer, more uniform droppings

• A cleaner bloom to the plumage

• Better appetite and zest for exercise

• Birds trapping more keenly, with that unmistakable “feel” of form

While no single product is a magic bullet, a well-designed pigeon mineral supplement like this is often one of the quiet, behind-the-scenes factors that helps a good loft become a great one.

Who is Black Pigeon Minerals for?

• Fanciers who feed rich racing mixes and want extra support for digestion

• Loft managers who regularly medicate and want to help birds bounce back quickly

• Anyone who values clean droppings, strong form and a practical way to deliver both minerals and charcoal in a single product

Add Black Pigeon Minerals to your loft routine and give your racers the digestive and mineral support they need to handle hard work, long distances and changing conditions – while staying bright, clean and ready for the next basket.

Black Pigeon Minerals Natural Colour Variation Notice

Please note that the colour of Black Pigeon Minerals can vary slightly from batch to batch. This is completely normal. Because the blend contains natural ingredients such as charcoal, mineral grit and trace elements, the shade can range from lighter grey to deeper black depending on the raw materials used at the time of production.

These variations do not affect the quality, performance or nutritional value of the minerals. Every batch is carefully formulated to deliver the same high standard of digestive support and mineral balance for your pigeons.
