The moulting season is arguably the most demanding physiological period in a racing pigeon’s year. Creating a brand-new, perfectly structured coat of feathers requires immense energy, a flawless metabolism, and a heavily fortified immune system. If a bird lacks the right nutrients now, it will pay the price in the skies next season—whether sprinting short distances or pushing through tough 900-1000 km marathon races.
To ensure your birds grow strong, silky, and flexible feathers while staying completely healthy, we have developed the Cest Pharma Moulting Program. As outlined in our official schedule (see bellow), this 7-day rotational protocol provides natural, comprehensive support against common seasonal stressors, including Trichomoniasis, Coccidiosis, intestinal disruptions, and respiratory problems.
Here is a breakdown of the core products in this regimen and why they are essential for your loft during the moult.
Core Products & Moulting Benefits
Platinum Moult
- Usage: Morning Water (Days 1, 3, and 5)
- Description: A highly specialized liquid supplement specifically calibrated for the heavy demands of the moulting phase.
- Key Moulting Benefits: Provides the exact sulfur-containing amino acids and vital trace elements required to synthesize high-quality keratin. It ensures robust, flawless feather regeneration, preventing fret marks and ensuring the new plumage is tough and structurally sound.
Magic
- Usage: Morning Water (Days 2 and 4) at a dose of 4ml per liter of water.
- Description: A potent, concentrated liquid additive designed to optimize gut flora, maximize nutrient absorption, and maintain peak vitality.
- Key Moulting Benefits: Because feather growth drains the immune system, birds are highly susceptible to digestive drops. Magic acts as a powerful natural shield against intestinal challenges, keeping the gut acidic and hostile to pathogens. This ensures the pigeon extracts maximum nutritional value from its feed to fuel the moult.
Propolis Water Soluble
- Usage: Morning Water (Days 6 and 7)
- Description: A highly bioavailable liquid extract of natural bee propolis, nature’s ultimate defender.
- Key Moulting Benefits: Functions as a powerful natural immune booster and anti-inflammatory. It purifies the respiratory tract and protects the flock from latent infections taking hold while their physical defenses are lowered.
Healthy Oil
- Usage: Morning Food (Days 1 and 3)
- Description: A premium, energy-dense blend of essential fatty acids designed to coat the grain mixture and act as a highly effective binder for nutritional powders.
- Key Moulting Benefits: Delivers the crucial omega fats needed to give the new feathers that coveted “powdery,” water-resistant, and silky-smooth finish. It also provides the dense, slow-burning caloric energy required to fuel the metabolic heavy lifting of feather production.
Breeding Booster
- Usage: Morning Food (Days 1 and 3), bound to the feed using Healthy Oil.
- Description: A highly digestible, multi-nutrient powder packed with essential building blocks originally designed for intense physical development.
- Key Moulting Benefits: Supplies a surge of critical proteins, vitamins, and minerals that accelerate feather formation. It helps the birds maintain lean muscle mass and skeletal strength during their rest period, ensuring they emerge from the moult powerful, buoyant, and fully prepped for the demands of the upcoming racing calendar.
