Essential Modern [Pigeon] Racing Techniques

The author deals with the issues of sense of orientation and navigation, speed, condition, vitality, nutrition and feed supplements. A great deal of attention is paid to the less distinctive features that make or break a pigeon's achievements. After all, these discernible characteristics determine the positive or negative outcome of every race. The various features are interrelated, and the author Malfait also examines to what extent they may be influenced by nutrition, loft quality, training, condition of the plumage etc. The book is based on recent scientific data, but it is written in clear everyday English. The author reports the experiences of successful fanciers by means of individual loft reports.
