As we all know racing pigeons require meticulous care and attention to ensure optimal health, swift growth, reduced recovery times and peak performance. As dedicated pigeon fanciers, We’ve discovered a range of products that play a pivotal role in enhancing the well-being of every pigeon at our lofts. For over 10 years now we have relied on the Klaus products to improve our pigeons health.
1. Klaus: Picorin
Picorin is a supplementary feed for racing pigeons; it supports growth and helps build the body’s immune system.
– High-quality raw materials
– Large number of native trace elements, active ingredients and amino acids.
A nutritional and physiological effect can already be expected with a supplementary feeding of 0.5%.
The Picorin is very extensive in composition. One ingredient, for example, is flower pollen and plant-based protein. These materials are generally not cheap to purchase. Picorin is actually a product that should be administered throughout the year in order to stimulate the pigeon’s immune system a little and thus keep the organism healthy and prevent any deficiency symptoms thanks to the variety of ingredients. This works as long as you feed this product. That’s why a 3 kg bucket makes sense, and not just a 400g can. The Klaus team did a test study years ago and in addition to extremely good vitality, they were able to notice significantly better growth in all test subjects. We like to use Picorin a lot during the breed and wean stage and then consistently throughout the year.
To promote robust health and growth, we prioritize high-quality pigeon feed used with the correct supplements, rich in essential nutrients. We feel offering these Klaus supplements is crucial for ensuring the birds receive the necessary vitamins, minerals, and proteins. We’ve found that incorporating supplements like Picorin further supports feather quality and overall vitality.
2. Klaus: Jodoferrol
Jodoferrol liquid supplementary feed for racing pigeons. Jodoferrol serves as a supplementary supply of trace elements, especially iodine and iron. They are suitable for stimulating metabolism, increasing performance and improving oxygen absorption. After the flight, they ensure that the racing pigeons recover quickly and prevent dehydration and trace element deficiency. We like to use Jodoforrol as its a good source of iron, when we first started racing pigeons in 2008, we used to use a horse supplement as it was high in iron however we think its safer to work with a team of scientists dedicated to the pigeon sport.
Proper hydration is paramount for racing pigeons, especially during strenuous training and competitions. We use the specialized Jodoforrol that aids in maintaining the birds’ hydration levels, providing a quick energy boost and reducing recovery time after flights.
3. Klaus: Tricom
Tricom moulting aid – liquid – has important components that the organism needs during the main moult. The high need for amino acids, especially those containing sulfur, is covered by methionine. In addition, Tricom-Mauserhilfe liquid contains a high proportion of available calcium. The numerous vitamins it contains support a balanced moult. Tricom moulting aid helps reach optimal health and works perfectly when used together with picorin.
To fortify the immune system and prevent common ailments, we incorporate the Klaus supplements into our pigeons’ regimen. These supplements often include vitamins and minerals that support digestive health and bolster overall immunity.
4. Klaus: Silberpfeil Race 1 water-soluble
Silberpfeil Race 1 water-soluble protein concentrate is used to provide protein in the first feeding phase after the flight. The high proportion of easily digestible, special proteins supports rapid regeneration without burdening the pigeon with additional waste products. The minerals, vitamins and trace elements it contains are the prerequisite for undisturbed metabolic processes.
To be used to aid and speed up recovery for a team of pigeons. Administered through the drinking water and must be refreshed after 12 hours. Best to give fresh after the feed in the evening and then refresh after the feed in the morning the following day.
Racing can take a toll on a pigeon’s body, necessitating effective recovery strategies. We’ve found that the Klaus silberpfiel recovery products, enriched with amino acids and antioxidants, help reduce muscle fatigue and hasten recuperation after demanding flights. This ensures our pigeons are ready for the next flight.
5.Klaus: Silberpfeil Reise 1 Capsules
The high-quality, valuable ingredients of the Silberpfeil Reise 1 powder are administered individually as a gelatin capsule to racing pigeons returning late. They serve for rapid regeneration.

The Silberfeil breeding tablets are a great help for vitality and fertility, especially for older breeding pigeons. Application: From the 10th day, 1-2 tablets 3 times a week. After discontinuation, 2 tablets per week. A good tablet to administer when handling your pigeons. We like to give to all our sections such as the youngbird team, race team and breeding loft.
