Breeding Tips from the Pros

1. Breed out of birds that have participated in one loft racing.  Breeders that have been in a one loft race have a stronger immune system to fight the diseases found in one loft races and will pass the immunity on to their babies.
2. Vaccinate your breeders for PMV 30 days before mating.
3. Vaccinate the babies at 22 days old in for PMV and pox.
4. After the babies are weaned for 4-5 days, feed nothing but peas and whole corn for 6 days. This teaches the babies to eat the big seeds.
5. At 42 days old, vaccinate the babies again for PMV.
6. At 45 days old, look for the best youngsters and ship them out. At 45 days old, the babies are protected and can handle the stress of shipping much better than at 25 to 30 days old.

I thank Mike Ganus and Mathieu De Clippel, Product Manager with Versele-Laga of Belgium & involved in the Belgium Master One Loft Race, for their time and this helpful information.
