A basic mixture of dun peas, hard wheat, maize, milo and safflower can be fed all year round to both race and stock birds. Like the European young-bird mixes, it contains about 50% legumes.
You will find as the racing year progresses the birds’ dietary requirements will change and will require some extra carbohydrate seeds later in the week i.e. maize milo or brown rice or change to Hi Carb Mix for two days before basketing.
