Do you remember my previous article about PathoSense? The responses were overwhelming. It seems the pigeon world is finally ready to throw out that perpetual gambling machine of blind treatments and vague diagnoses. For too long, we have relied on “maybe it is this” or “let’s try that.” But let’s be honest: your champions deserve better than a guess, right?

Pigeon racing has become a top tier sport. We optimize nutrition, we train with GPS, and we build lofts that would make an architect jealous. Why would we stay stuck in the Middle Ages when it comes to health?

Why this is the absolute game changer

The technology from PathoSense is not just another new test. It is a total shift. Where you used to have to choose what to test for (and therefore often missed half of the problem), this method literally maps everything. Viruses, bacteria, virulence factors: nothing remains hidden. It is like turning on the lights in a dark room.

Imagine knowing exactly which intruder is slowing down your pigeons before the first symptoms even become visible. That is no longer science fiction, it is the reality we are in right now. The best part? It strengthens our sport. By dealing with the health of our birds in a targeted and smart way, we show that pigeon racing is a modern, professional passion where animal welfare and innovation go hand in hand.

The Deep Dive: You must be there on February 26

I could write about this for hours, but the real experts can explain it to you much better. That is why PathoSense is organizing an exclusive webinar on February 26. This is the moment to look under the hood of this technology.

Dr. Sebastiaan Theuns and Dr. Rosalie Swimberghe will take you into the world of Next Generation Sequencing. And no, that is not just for scientists in white coats. It is specifically meant for you, the fancier who wants to get the maximum out of their colony.

What will you discover during this webinar?

Do you still believe that you can stay ahead of the competition with a blind treatment? Or are you ready to let science work for you? I know which side I am choosing. In pigeon racing, everything revolves around those fractions of seconds, and a perfectly healthy pigeon is the only pigeon that can win those seconds.
