Practical answers on feeding Versele-Laga Best Allround 20kg to pigeons: daily amounts, all-year use, mixing with other feeds, storage and switching safely.
Quick answer
Versele-Laga Best Allround 20kg is a protein-rich, all-year mixture for pigeons, so you can keep one feed in the loft rather than switching between seasonal blends. Start with a measured daily ration and adjust it to body condition, exercise and appetite.
Why an all-round mixture suits many lofts
An all-round mixture is a practical default when your birds include a mix of ages and workloads, or when you want to simplify buying and storing feed. It saves you from keeping several part-used bags and guessing which blend to open on a given week.
The trade-off is that no single mixture is tailored to every bird. Racing pigeons in hard training, breeding hens and resting stock birds can have different needs, so treat the all-round mix as your base and adjust quantity and any extras bird by bird.
How to judge whether the ration is right
Feeding is easier to get right when you watch the birds rather than only the scoop. Check that crops fill and empty normally, that droppings are consistent, and that birds are neither sluggish nor constantly hungry.
Weighing a sample of birds now and again gives you a clearer trend than judging by eye. If birds are gaining too much condition, reduce the ration slightly; if they are losing condition during cold weather or heavy exercise, increase it gradually.
Versele-Laga Best Allround 20kg: common questions answered
- How much should I feed my pigeons?
- There is no single fixed amount because it depends on bird size, exercise, weather and condition. Start with a measured ration, feed at the same times each day, and adjust up or down based on body condition and how quickly the birds clear the feed. Remove any uneaten feed before the next meal. Keep a simple daily record of the amount fed so changes are deliberate, not guesswork.
- Can I use Best Allround all year?
- Yes. The mixture is described as suitable for all year round, so it can stay as your base feed through rest, training and breeding. During demanding periods you may still need to adjust the quantity or add appropriate extras, but you do not have to change the base mixture.
- Can I mix it with other feeds?
- You can use it as the main feed and add other components when you have a specific reason, such as extra energy during heavy work. Introduce any new feed gradually over several days and watch droppings, appetite and condition so you can tell whether the change suits your birds. Change one thing at a time so you can identify what caused any problem.
- How should I store a 20kg bag?
- Keep the bag closed and dry, off the floor, in a cool, ventilated place away from direct sunlight and rodents. Use the oldest feed first and check for damp, mould or pests before each scoop. A 20kg bag is easier to manage if you decant into a clean, lidded container.
- How do I switch from another mixture?
- Transition over about seven to ten days by mixing increasing proportions of Best Allround with the old feed. This gives the birds' digestive system time to adjust and lets you spot any drop in appetite or change in droppings early. If birds seem off during the switch, slow the transition rather than pushing through.
- Is this feed suitable for all pigeons?
- It is an all-round pigeon mixture, so it suits a mixed loft as a base feed. Very young squeakers, birds under veterinary care or those with specific performance goals may need a different approach; if in doubt, ask your vet or an experienced fancier before changing the diet.
