Gem Popcorn Maize is a high-energy, nutrient-dense seed widely recognised for its compact size and excellent digestibility. This variety of maize is particularly popular with pigeon fanciers, as it provides a concentrated source of carbohydrates, making it perfect for pigeons needing sustained energy. Its small, hard kernels are easily digestible, allowing birds to absorb maximum nutrients, which supports stamina, strength, and overall vitality. As it is a smaller variety, Gem Popcorn Maize can also be fed very successfully to young birds and junior pigeons.

Features

Nutritional Benefits for Pigeons:

High in Carbohydrates: Popcorn maize provides a concentrated source of slow-releasing energy, helping pigeons maintain stamina and endurance during racing.

Smaller, Dense Kernels: Compared to large dog tooth maize, popcorn maize is more compact, making it easier for pigeons to pick up and digest. This is particularly beneficial for young birds or those in training.

Rich in Vitamin A and B-complex Vitamins: Supports vision, immune health, and metabolism, which are essential for pigeons in peak condition.

Good Balance of Protein and Fat: Helps with muscle repair and feather quality without contributing to excessive weight gain.

Easily Stored and Resistant to Spoilage: Its hard kernel structure helps preserve freshness and prevents mould growth, ensuring a longer shelf life compared to softer grains.

Instructions / Feeding Guide

Feeding Considerations:

• Best for Racing Pigeons: Due to its high energy density and easy digestibility, popcorn maize is a top choice for racing birds that require sustained performance.

• Works Well in a Mix: It should be combined with other grains like wheat, barley, and milo to create a balanced diet that meets all nutritional needs.

• Best Fed Whole: Unlike some larger maize varieties that may require soaking, popcorn maize is small enough for pigeons to consume easily in its whole form.

• Suitable for All Seasons: While some maize varieties are best in colder months, popcorn maize can be fed year-round due to its balanced energy content.

Directions for Use:

• Feed as required all year round.

• Replenish daily.

• Ensure fresh clean water is available at all times for drinking.
