Natural Pigeon Breeding Support



Winter sadly marks the end of the pigeon shows for the time being, however it also means it’s time to think ahead and plan for a successful breeding season.  


Fanciers across the country will soon start to pair their pigeons with the hope of getting a future champion and Anpario are here to help you on this exciting journey!

Top Tips to Start the Season with a Head Start

1. Time for a Deep Clean


Pigeon moulting should be over in January and so it’s a good time to get lofts and pigeons free of germs and parasites. Thoroughly disinfect every nook and cranny with a disinfectant and be sure to check the pigeons themselves for any signs of mites and other parasites. 

 Anpario offers reliable, easy to use sanitising and disinfectant products, perfect for use in pigeon lofts…

2. Low Stress Pairing


Changes in weather often come with a change in routine, and any change can be stressful for your birds. Pairing if rushed or done incorrectly can also be stressful for birds. Every loft has their own tried and trusted methods for pairing and keeping birds happy at this time. For added stress support, consider stress relief additives you can give your birds to ensure they are relaxed & healthy!

3. Light Up the Loft!


Looking to achieve easy and consistent laying? To do this, you must get the pigeons you want to breed out of their 'winter mode'. Two to three weeks before intended mating, consider leaving a light on in the evening until around 9 or 10 pm. Your pigeons brain stem cells respond to the number of hours of daylight. As a result, the correct hormone balance and bird fertility are set in motion, because in normal winter conditions hormone production falls sharply and the pigeon is less fertile and is less sex-driven.

4. Optimum Fertility Support


Fatty acids are essential to maintaining a wide range of physiological functions, including supporting immune function, inflammatory response and fertility across all species, including pigeons. An additional fatty acid source in your bird’s diet can give them the extra boost they need this winter to ensure optimum fertility.  

Optomega Avian is a leading Omega-3 fatty acid supplement, containing 100% natural high quality fish oil. It’s an excellent source of energy for all pigeons, including breeding stock, young birds, squabs, racing pigeons and show pigeons.


Key Benefits:


  • Helps your pigeon maintain necessary energy required for growth and performance.  
  • Well documented to support fertility and chick/squab quality.  

  • Shown to help bone strength and density
