Pigeon Grit: The Essential Key to Your Pigeons' Health 

By: Pigeon Boss, Jan de Wijs

When you're serious about pigeon racing, every detail counts. From the right nutrition to optimal training, everything must align to help your pigeons reach the top. However, there's one vital aspect that often goes overlooked yet forms the foundation of your pigeons’ health and performance: stomach gravel. 

Stomach Gravel: Even More Important Than Grit

Grit is essential, yes, but stomach gravel—both fine and coarse—plays an even more crucial role in digestion. It ensures your pigeons can grind down food properly in their gizzard, allowing for optimal nutrient absorption and improving overall performance. While grit aids in digestion, stomach gravel does the heavy lifting by breaking down the hardest particles. Without it, your pigeons would struggle to extract all the energy they need for top-level races like Barcelona.
