Harkers Hormoform

When you want nothing but the best for your loft, Harkers Hormoform stands out as one of the most trusted, time-tested pigeon feed supplements available. First launched in 1954, Hormoform has been refined through decades of practical use — and remains a favourite among serious pigeon fanciers because it reliably fills dietary gaps that standard corn or grain mixes often leave.

Whether you are breeding, racing, moulting or maintaining general loft health, Hormoform offers a complete, premium supplement that supports muscle development, feather quality, digestion, vitality, and overall performance.

What Hormoform Does — Balanced Nutrition for All Stages

• Fills nutrient shortfalls: Hormoform supplies a rich mix of high-energy fats and oils, proteins (animal & vegetable), yeast, essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and natural carbohydrates and fibre — all on a cut-wheat base.

• Supports muscle growth & strength: The amino acids and proteins provide the building blocks for strong muscles — vital for racing pigeons needing power, endurance and recovery.

• Enhances feathering & moult quality: With the inclusion of essential nutrients and oils, Hormoform supports feather growth, feather strength, and a healthy moulting cycle — ideal before or after a racing season.

• Promotes fertility, egg/chick vitality & growth: For breeders, Hormoform delivers vitamins and trace minerals that support strong eggshells, healthy chicks and robust juvenile development.

• Boosts digestion & energy levels: The natural carbohydrates and fibre make feed more palatable and digestible, helping birds extract full nutritional value from their diet and maintain high energy levels during training and races.

• Supports overall health and longevity: The blend of vitamins, essential fatty acids, minerals and trace elements helps support immune function, cellular repair, respiratory health, vision and general well-being — providing a balanced diet beyond what basic grain mixes can offer.

Because of this all-round nutritional support, Hormoform is often referred to as a “complete supplementary feed” — more than just a mineral or vitamin booster, but a comprehensive supplement that elevates the quality of any pigeon ration.

When to Use Hormoform — Versatile All-Year Support

Hormoform is designed to be bent to your schedule — whether you run a competitive racing loft, a breeding loft, or maintain stock birds for general health.

• Breeding season: Vital for egg production, chick development, and ensuring hens and cocks have the nutrients they need for fertility and strong offspring.

• Young bird rearing: Helps juveniles build muscle, bones, feathers and resilience — giving them a solid foundation for future racing.

• Racing season / conditioning: Supports muscle strength, energy, recovery and overall fitness — essential for endurance, speed, and consistency.

• Moult & feather growth: Provides proteins, amino acids and fats needed for feather regeneration and maintaining feather quality.

• General maintenance: Keeps your pigeons in “top-on” form even outside breeding or racing cycles — great for loft health, vitality and long-term performance.

Many lofts use Hormoform continuously or as part of a rotation with other supplements, depending on their feeding strategy and the birds’ needs.

How to Feed Harkers Hormoform — Guidelines & Tips

Hormoform can be fed mixed with your regular feed or offered separately. Many experienced fanciers prefer offering it separately — especially when first introducing it — because pigeons quickly learn to pick what they need.

Typical feeding recommendations:

• Resting birds: 57 g Hormoform per 450 g feed (≈ 2 oz per 1 lb of feed)

• Racing birds: 71 g Hormoform per 450 g feed (≈ 2.5 oz per 1 lb)

• Breeding birds: 86 g Hormoform per 450 g feed (≈ 3 oz per 1 lb)

Always provide clean water and allow birds to self-select if given separately. If mixing with grain, monitor intake to ensure feed balance. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Use within 8–10 weeks of opening to preserve freshness and nutrient integrity.

Why Harkers Hormoform Remains a Top Choice

• Decades-long pedigree: First formulated in 1954, Hormoform remains one of the oldest and most respected pigeon supplements — trusted for over 60 years by fanciers across the UK and beyond.

• Scientifically formulated: Known as one of the first “scientific” pigeon supplements, designed to fill gaps standard diets often miss, especially under the strain of racing, breeding and moult.

• All-in-one convenience: Supplies a broad spectrum of nutrients — proteins, fats, vitamins, amino acids, fibre, minerals and trace elements — reducing the need for multiple separate supplements.

• Proven results: Many lofts report stronger youngsters, better feathering, improved racing performance, quicker recovery, and better overall loft health when using Hormoform consistently.

• Flexible feeding: Whether you run a race team, a breeding loft or mixed stock, Hormoform adapts — useful all year round and in every phase of pigeon management.
