CAL-PLUS

Calcium is the most prevalent mineral in a racing & show pigeons body and is required in the diet in a greater amount than any other mineral.
Calcium constitutes more than a third of the total mineral content of an adult pigeon. The skeleton contains about 98% of a birds calcium. Bones not only serve a structural role but provide a pool of calcium, phosphate and other compounds.
Calcium is an essential element in the bird's body. Amongst others it is essential for the correct functioning of the nervous system.
Calcium deficiencies in birds regularly result in serious health problems. If the bird is not given enough calcium, it causes decalcification of the skeleton and bone deformation.
Giving extra calcium to birds during the breeding and growth season is therefore strongly recommended. Sufficient calcium ensures good egg shell formation and the development of a healthy skeleton.
