Example of practical application: Detox Plus and Moor Active
Maintaining the health of racing pigeons throughout the year requires an integrated nutritional approach, adapted to each physiological stage: reproduction, growth, moulting, competition and the cold season. In this context, the use of products with biological action, such as Moor Active (peat-based) and Detox Plus (clay + garlic and cinnamon oil), can bring clear benefits through the properties of humic acids, natural sulfuric substances and phytotherapeutic extracts.

1. Humic and fulvic acids – metabolic and intestinal protective effects
Moor Active is an example of a product based on purified peat, rich in humic and fulvic acids. These compounds contribute to:
• lowering intestinal pH and controlling pathogenic microbial flora;
• protecting the digestive mucosa and improving transit;
• forming complexes with toxins and heavy metals, contributing to their elimination from the body;
• increasing the absorption of essential minerals such as iron, zinc and manganese;
• supporting protein and lipid metabolism, with direct effects on the development of muscle mass and plumage. In young pigeons, these effects translate into faster growth, better feed conversion and increased resistance to intestinal infections.
2. Garlic, cinnamon and clay extract – antimicrobial and detoxifying effect
Detox Plus combines natural clay with concentrated garlic and cinnamon extracts, providing:
• selective antibacterial action (E. coli, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus);
• protection of beneficial intestinal flora (Lactobacillus);
• internal and respiratory antiparasitic effect;
• mucolytic, expectorant and anti-inflammatory effect in respiratory diseases;
• liver detoxification and stimulation of nutrient absorption;
• supply of essential sulfur compounds for moulting, skin and joints. These properties justify the use of Detox Plus in all critical periods of the biological cycle, but especially during the growth of chicks, the competition season and moulting
3. Applicability depending on the stage of the pigeon year
Breeding
• Moor Active: supports fertility by balancing mineral and protein metabolism.
• Detox Plus: reduces the risk of bacterial contamination in the aviary and strengthens the immunity of the breeders.
Raising youngsters
• Moor Active: protects the fragile digestive mucosa of the chicks, reduces the risk of chick disease.
• Detox Plus: fights parasites, supports the respiratory system and supports harmonious development.
Moulting
• Moor Active: promotes the absorption of minerals necessary for plumage restoration.
• Detox Plus: the sulfur content contributes to keratin synthesis and intensifies feather pigmentation.
Racing season
• Moor Active: supports digestive and metabolic recovery after exercise.
• Detox Plus: protects the respiratory tract, reduces oxidative stress and detoxifies the liver.
Cold season / rest
• Moor Active: anti-inflammatory and immunostimulating background effects. • Detox Plus: prevents the accumulation of toxins and maintains overall immune status.

Conclusions
The Moor Active and Detox Plus products represent practical examples of the use of natural components with an essential role in:
• regulating digestion and metabolism,
• detoxifying the body,
• supporting liver and respiratory function,
• strengthening immunity,
• improving general condition and performance in competitions. Their rational use, correlated with the physiological stage of the pigeon, can make the difference between a season affected by diseases and a successful season.
