An important discovery was Cometose®, a vegetable-based biological
product that controls fluid excreta whatever the cause. It
creates in the intestine a kind of jelly (already visible when the
product is diluted with a drop of water). A number of
factors such as stress, secretion of pathogens and too strong a
nutrition (the pigeon in nature must really seek and work for its food,
we provide it on a plate) cause an increased production of inferior
mucus (s. worms). The loops of the intestine silt up and a large
part of the intestinal surface, which in the end constitutes the
exchange area of the food and the system, is lost.
This reduction of useful intestinal surface can amount to 60%.
Cometose® can resolve this important problem. It contains
vegetable fibres that clean the intestinal surface in a "scraping"
way. By thickening the fluid excreta through the jelly formation,
the water is also kept better inside. The present electrolytes
pump this water back into the blood. I give it to the young
pigeons during their weaning period and this for one week.
You may not forget that each cure with medicines threatens part of
the flora. Besides, in case of fluid excreta, the intestinal
content of the higher intestinal regions is lost and not
replaced. That is why I give Cometose® with each onset of
fluid excreta and also before and after a race.
I let it stick to the food with Fine-Oil®. This
evacuates all pathogens carried along. The liquid, much needed
during the race, remains fixed (that is why I give it before the
pigeons are put into baskets).
Use: 1 soupspoon (= 15g) per kg of food.
