while the sky above it will be
always gray. In order for us to
obtain top results in each and
every single race we must make
sure that our birds are equipped
with an extremely powerful well
developed immune system.
Their entire being is in a
continuous process of changing
in their first year of life muscles,
skeleton, wings but first of all
their immune system.

We live in a world literally
flooded from the health point
of view with antibiotics,
supplements, vitamines,
vaccines and all kind of
bizarre chemically produced
medicines. The world of our
pigeons health is not much
different .New products with
very appealing names and
labels fill the over saturated
market reassuring and kind
of leading the puzzled fancier
towards the usage of them.
The use of antibiotics seems
to be the first ,the last and of
course always the best option
for any minor change in our
birds droppings .Have we
really forget entirely The
Natural Ways ?Can we really
not see with how much
disgust our birds drink that
bad ,hard smell yellow liquid?
I personally believe that a lot
of people do it because other
people do it ,just like a
domino effect .
It is enough for one person to
do it and the others will follow
suit. The question is " What are
the consequences of using
antibiotics for short and long
term ? The answer is: damage
of the liver and kidneys,
damage of the intestines, bad
moulting with twisted, pierced
and deformed primary flights ,
loss of vitality, loss of fertility,
weakened immune system,the
birds body will develop in time
immunity to this antibiotics
and the next option will be an
even stronger antibiotic .
Should we not use at all
antibiotics ? We are forced to ,
but only as the last and only
option for the reasons i have
just mentioned above. The
future of every loft lies on the
quality of the young birds we
produce each and every single
year. If these birds are not
kept free or to a minimum
usage of antibiotics for their
First year of life the future of
that loft will have on its path
many question marks while

intend to guide fanciers through
this process starting with this
article. .So today you will learn
something that you can apply
right after you finished reading
these lines and i guarantee you
that from now on you will see
this sport with different eyes ,
but what is more important is
that you will enjoy
it more .In all my books that i
have published so far on
amazon site (and they are about
12 of them), i have said that
knowledge is power on this
sport, and i feel like i have left
something really important out
of the context ,i think is more
than power i think is happiness
and joy above all
A fancier that has healthy birds is
a happy fancier. I know that
because i am one of them ,I know
that because very close friends of

My dear friends - When we have healthy birds in our loft ,
The Sky is the limit in regards to what results we can achieve in

only from 100 % healthy parents.
The natural remedies that i will present further ,are not risky
alternative therapies practiced against your doctor's suggestions
,but rather they are safe, and it will guide you through practical
actions that you can utilize to help prevent and treat all kind of
pigeons health problems. Just remember that these natural
remedies do not provide miracle cures and are not meant to
take the place of the advice and treatments prescribed by your
vet specialist . You should continue to work and consult with
your vet doctor about your pigeons health problems in
diagnosing the presence of a disease if this is the case and the
right treatment for it, nevertheless, the information i will
present can enhance your pigeons overall health by :
Increasing their lifespan.
Increasing fertility .
Optimum growth.
Immune system enhancement.
Healthier ofsprings with less deformities and increased
survival rate.
Improved feather growth, color and condition.
Prevention and treatment of parasites.
Protection against mycotoxins.
Prevention of bacterial and viral infections, and much more.
This presentation will offer you detailed, easy-to-follow steps,
using plants and other products straight from the nature and
even items you probably already have in your kitchen .The use
of plants and other products from the mother nature goes way
back in time when these were used successfully as the only cure
against all sorts of diseases and conditions but also to maintain
and boost their immune system in humans and animals alike .
The natural treatments will not have an -next hour- effect in
fighting different conditions like the antibiotics and other
pharmaceutical medicines have .Their effect will take a little
longer to show ,but will also last longer than the effect of
antibiotics , besides we all know that when we decide to use a

First i would like to congratulate you in
taking this beautiful sport and welcome
you in the world of pigeon racing. Some
people say that once you are in, you will
never want to get out of it and i totally
agree with this statement.
Pigeon racing is a sport spread world wide
and has absolutely no age limit . Young or
old men or women they have all been
conquered for life by this majestic one of
kind creatures we call racing pigeons. Their
intelligence and capabilities to return home
from short or extreme long distances made
them favorite animals for millions of people
around the globe. Kings and queens,
wealthy or hard working men along the
history enjoyed their presence and called
them friends, companions and heroes. The
beauty of this sport is that everything can
be learned about it ,we do not have to be
born with a phenomenal talent to achieve
the highest performances .
This unique sport will bring in the life of
any fancier the thrill and pleasure he/she
has never experienced before - the joy of
winning a race. The many aspects of this
sport will offer unique and beautiful
experiences to the new fancier and also the
chance to make friends all over the world ,
which is by far the most important one.
After more then 30 years on this beautiful
sport, there is one very important thing that
i have learned :
“It is important to win the first place, but
more important is with how many people
do you enjoy it ,as he, who won the first
place and has no friends around him, will
be just a lonely winner ''
Dacian Busecan
I can only hope that this advice will always
guide you in your racing pigeons career and
i welcome you in the beautiful world of
pigeon racers.

BEGINNERS GUIDE
Bird Description
From the racing pigeons history we learn that the rock dove ( Columbia Livia) is the ancestor of
our today`s pigeons. Its physical form and shape has been moulded by the pigeon fanciers
through different crosses and rigorous selections more then 300 years ago ,a process that is still
carried out today by fanciers who are aiming to obtain a type of bird that will be able to perform
on any weather conditions, terrain, and on any distances.
From the ancient times people tried to figure out how this little bird find its way home and what
body parts help him the most in completing the task that it is been imposed to him. From the 22
body parts presented above the ones that have always draw attention of the fancier and science
people, are the eyes and the wings of the bird .To these two body parts have been dedicated
extended searches where the eyes have a very close relation with the breeding capabilities and
on the other side the studies about the wing formation will tell the fancier whether the bird can
fly a short distance race or a long distance race..
Just like for all the other concepts and theories in life there are as many believers as nonbelievers
and i will advice the young fancier to believe in only what is proven and what he can experiment
himself with his own birds .

Any concept or theory that can not be put into practice it is just a waste of time for the
people reading or listening about it, especially in this sport. Regarding the two body parts
of the bird, the eye of a good bird must be shiny full of color with a pupil that will constrict
in the light and will dilate in the dark surrounded by an eye cere of pure white color.
The wing on the other side is the main body part of the bird that will help the bird to glide
and propel through the air, but it is good to know when we study it that we must look at it
as part of a whole which is called the balance of the bird and not separately.
Time will pass, and along with it the new fancier will gather experience which will help him
to make a right judgement when assessing a bird in the hand . Through a selective breeding
carried out year after year, the young fancier will learn that all these body characteristics of
the bird can be modified and improved. Knowledge and experience will help the fancier in
obtaining the type of birds that he believes that will be able to pass successfully the tests in
the racing season.
19
Cock or Hen
To determine the sex of a bird can be
sometimes quite a challenge especially for the
young birds .My recommendation for the new
fancier is to let the nature follow its course and
let the birds to reach maturity which means a
complete moult of the young birds in the first
year of their life. It is also good to know that
only the birds that were born at the beginning
of the year March-April will pass through a
complete moult at the end of the year. The late
breeds which were born in the months of June
and July and later will not moult completely at
the end of the year and their complete moult
will happen at the end of the next year.
In both cases the determination of the sex
will be possible anyway at the end of their
first year of life .The cocks regardless of
their body aspect will continuously look for
a partner and try to claim a nest box or
boxes in the loft. They will display many
times during the day by dragging their tail
on the ground, puffing their chest out and
flapping their wings with noise .Although
not always the case as soon as they have
moulted the fourth primary feather their
sexual instinct will kick in. In most of the
cases their appearances are bigger in size, a
bigger head with larger wattles then the
hens. When two birds are in the process of
mating the cock will always be the one
Iinternational Racing Pigeon
20
who will keep its beak wide open and will
always circle around the hen .The hen with a
smaller head and wattles will always place its
beak inside the cock`s beak in the process of
mating and at the end of it she will lower her
body to the ground to facilitate the mating
process .The hens will not display too much
with their tail on the ground and their
territorial instinct will resume to a simple
resting perch

The loft
Whoever decide to take on this sport must ask
himself a simple question:” Where will the birds
live ?” We all do what we can in life, some of us
have the possibility of starting with a big loft
while others only with a small one, what is
important here is to offer the pigeons a house
where they will feel safe and will keep them
healthy throughout their life . Below i am
gonna list the things that everyone should take
in consideration when deciding to build a
pigeon loft. It is good to know that the biggest
enemy in a pigeon`s life are not the prey birds
or other animal predators, but rather the
humidity from inside the loft .A humid loft will
never be able to host healthy birds, diseases
like: coccidiosis, trichomoniasis, salmonella,
hexamitiasis and lots more others will always
be present in such lofts. So here it is the most
important rule of loft building and positioning -
a loft must be dry, and for this we must always
build it at minimum 50 cm from the ground
level facing the sun .
The second big rule is the loft ventilation ,or
the way the air comes in and gets out from
the loft and what path must follow to create
a nice dry but yet fresh temperature inside
the loft. The best advice i can give to all
fanciers here is that the openings made in
the wall of the loft through which the air
comes and get out the loft , must be made
on the opposite side from where the birds
are resting e.g. nest boxes. To be even more
precise and for a better understanding , if
the nest boxes are placed on the south wall
of the loft ,then the openings must be made
on the north wall of the loft .Once this rule is
followed and applied, all the other little
holes that occur during the loft building
process, must be completely sealed , the air
should come and exit the loft only through
the two openings specially made and
nothing else.
Iinternational Racing Pigeon
22
The floor
The main rule in the floor building of the loft is to be
continuous and where the two pieces of plywood are
joined together should have no gap in between them
to prevent droppings to be retained that can be mixed
with food that pigeons are throwing out from the
feeders while they are eating. A nice even floor will
also allow an easy maintenance and cleaning that
must be performed by the fancier minimum twice per
week. Wooden ,plastic or metal flooring grills can be
placed and installed over the main loft floor to keep
the pigeons plumage as clean as possible and to help
the fancier with a longer periods of time in between
the cleaning sessions.

The walls
If we are to build our loft, these walls must be
together with screws, so in the event of an cert
relocation we can easy dismantle them with no
temperature inside the loft ,the outside walls m
inside with a 1 cm thick plywood sheets.
The compartments inside the loft
It is ideally where possible to build a loft with m
breeders ,one compartment for the racing bird
The walls in between the compartments do no
single sheet of plywood of 0.8 cm can be used
access door in the loft on a side wall which will
must have a width of 90- 100 cm for an easy m
have on one side the access for the two compa
and at the end of it will give direct access at the
compartment.
These wooden floor grills have a height of 10 cm ,the
droppings are falling through the gaps in between
the wooden grills on the floor from where the fancier
can collect them when the cleaning takes place.
Heated flooring
In wetter and colder month of the year the floor will
not be dry enough and the humidity in the loft will
rise which will stop the droppings to get dry faster .
To avoid this situation the floor may be heated
through adequate heating installations that can be
placed either on the floor itself or under it. This will
automatically lead to a quick dry of the droppings
and the air inside the loft will be much healthier for
the birds

artments: young birds and racing birds
e last compartment, the breeders
These three compartments will provide enough space
for the birds to be separated in the winter time but also
to isolate birds that need special treatment and care.
The access corridor must be used on his entirety by the
fancier .Here the fancier can deposit and place the food
for the birds cleaning tools and medicines that do not
require a low specific temperature to be preserved .
A tap of clean water can also be placed in this corridor
that will help the fancier to change and refill the drinkers
as often as possible .One of the most annoying thing for
the fancier is to go up and down from the loft in the
house to access the things he needs for his pigeons care
in the daily routine.
25
The closer he will have everything he needs for his
birds and easy access to them, the more enjoyable
this sport will become for him and his family or
friends.
The nest boxes
An very important thing for each loft is to ensure that
every bird will have its own place inside it, where it
can rest and feel safe. The nest boxes are the most
important thing for each pair especially for breeders.
A well settled pair will occupy a nest box and will
defend it from the intruders that will try to overtake it
.The nest box must be big enough in size to host a
pair of birds comfortably but also for when the
second round of eggs will be laid by the breeding hen
which will happen before the first pair of youngsters
will reach 3 weeks of age . A second nest bowl must
be place inside the nest box or otherwise the
breeding hen will lay the eggs on the same nest bowl
which can lead to broken eggs .To avoid this a little
dividing plywood wall can be placed in between the
two nest bowls which will ensure a calm sitting period
on the second pair of eggs by both parents. A good
size of these nest boxes would be 35 cm deep by 40
cm in height by 70 cm in length. I will always advice
fanciers to buy these nest boxes rather then
manufacture them themselves . Where this is not
possible the nest boxes must be made that way so it
can allow the fancier an easy access for checking and
cleaning of them. When the pairings takes place the
nest boxes must be provided with fronts that will
keep the birds inside them until the pair has settled.
The placement of the nest boxes inside the loft must
be made from 40 cm up from the floor level . This way
the pairs that have occupied the low level nest boxes
will not be disturbed by the over territorial cocks that
are continuously looking for new places .
The nest bowls
The nest bowls are little plates that have a diameter of
22- 25 cm and a depth of 5- 10 cm .When these are
placed inside the nest boxes the pigeons will occupy
them immediately and the birds will sit inside them
together or one after another .The nest bowls are
specially made so they do not turn over when the
birds will sit on one side of them. The nest will be

The roof
To avoid as much as possible the rain hitting the
walls of our loft, the roof must be that way
made so it will pass 40 cm on all sides the walls
line of the loft. Water collecting installations
must be placed where needed to avoid the
formation of little ponds around the loft and
humid air that may come inside the loft through
the ventilation system.
The aviary
The aviary is an extension of the loft and will
have the side walls made of net wire. The roof
can be made of transparent or non transparent
plastic that will keep the birds dry in the rainy
days . The aviary is extremely beneficial to any
loft and it will allow birds to enjoy the good
weather and refreshing baths, which must be
offered to pigeons twice per week.
Another beneficial aspect of the aviary is to keep
away predators from our birds and so the net
wire must be carefully chosen and built that way
so it will not allow any predators or non
predators (sparrows) to have access through it.
The size of the aviary is also important : the
bigger - the better, and must be placed that way
so it will collect the energy of the sun for the
entire day length .
It is good to know that the sun will provide the
Vitamin D for the birds only by exposing
themselves to it. A concreted floor would be the
ideal solution in the aviary if a suspended floor
will not be possible to be installed .I do not
recommend the presence of sand in the aviary
or inside the loft as this material is a humidity
retainer and will be an excellent environment
for bacteria developing which must be avoided
at all costs. Another positive aspect of the
concrete floor is that is very easy to clean by
simply using a pressure water hose. Once this is
done the concrete floor will attract the heat of
the sun and it will dry in no time.
Pigeons entry
Another important aspect of the loft building
and positioning is where are we gonna place the
pigeons entry . The first thing we must have in
mind when doing this is an easy access for the
birds .We certainly do not want to position the
loft that way so it will have in front of the entry
obstacles like trees or high buildings,

Another mild winter and yet again precious
little snow or cold weather. Well, there was a
week or was it two when it seemed to stay
cold. The problem is that we rely on some hot
summers and cold winters to keep the general
level of infection down. Most infectious
organisms cannot withstand being desiccated,
bombarded with UV, frozen and thawed!
However, with mild winters and dismal
summers, then expect a slow and steady build
up of problems. Nothing stays the same. The
current outbreak of H5N8 strain of Avian
Influenza is the culmination of slow spread
globally for the last 10 years. During this time
the virus has also changed and mutated, so
that it now kills waterfowl rather than merely
use them as a means of global spread.
It is not just ‘Flu’, other diseases and
ectoparasites (parasites that live on the skin or
feathers of birds and other animals) are also
spreading. The freedom to take your dog on
holiday to Europe and the failure of owners to
check for ticks or apply tick treatments prior to
returning to the UK. Is believed to be the
reason that a new species of tick has been
introduced into the UK. Our generally warmer
climate is allowing it to settle in the UK.
Unfortunately, this tick also carries the
infection of canine babesiosis (Lyme Disease)
which can be a killer.
Your pigeon loft with its multiple age groups
and pigeon racing provide an ideal setting for
new infections to be introduced, build up and
then spread when racing or at shows. If blood
sucking mites, biting flies and beetles become
infected. Then they can both maintain and
spread infection within your loft.
Ectoparasites require warmth and moisture
to reproduce. If it is too hot or too cold, then
reproduction is impaired and some will die.
Of course, for the last few years that really
has not happened at least in the south of
England. The result is that more parasites
remain dormant through the winter months
waiting for warmer weather and a new supply
of suitable hosts to feed on.
This is not a new phenomenon. I have said it
before when discussing the benefits of using
Interkokask RTU to inactivate and prevent the
build up of diseases and coccidial oocysts
within your loft. The same will apply to mites,
flies and beetles within your loft. They can
find all the difficult to get at nooks and
crannies where they can exist through the
winter months.
If mother nature is not going to come to our
aid, then we must use alternative methods to
reduce the population of these ectoparasites
CBM8 MV is a new persistent combination

mites (including red mites), nuisance flies/
biting flies, midges, litter beetles, grain weevils,
beetles, cockroaches, mosquitoes/bed bugs
silverfish.
CBM8 MV is a long acting, microencapsulated
combination of ingredients that is applied
directly to surfaces within the loft. The
microencapsulation ensures that the active
ingredients are released slowly for a period of
up to 8 weeks. To get the best results read the
directions carefully, remove all the gross dust,
dirt and debris from the surfaces to be
sprayed. Your birds should not be present in
the section that is being sprayed. Treat the
whole loft at the same time or within a day or
two. Remove all drinkers, feeders, grit pots
and nest bowls, so that they cannot
inadvertently be sprayed.
31
An ideal time to treat perches, floors, nest
boxes is when the birds are out exercising or
have been confined to the aviary. Spray all
surfaces, top, bottom and sides of nest boxes,
the top side and underneath of perches and
sputnik floor. When it has dried replace the
drinkers, feeders and grit pots. Then allow
your birds back in.
Routine control, every 8 weeks, throughout
the warmer months will reduce the irritation
caused by mites, biting flies and beetles and
lower the risk of infections such as
paratyphoid being maintained within your
loft.
Of course, if you are a brilliant flyer and do
not suffer from flies, mite or beetle problems.
Then you probably will not notice much
difference!

By Dacian Busecan

We find ourselves in the
beginning of the year and a new
breeding season is about to
begin. The future of every loft
depends on the quality of every
youngster our breeding birds
will produce . There is a lot at
stake in regards of how skilful
we are on this aspect of the
sport, because these young birds
will not only represent ourselves
in the racing season but also
other fanciers that have
acquired these birds from us.
For this reason only i consider
breeding of a greater
importance than the actual
racing. For those of us who
embraced this aspect of the
sport will realize that we will
never be able to increase the
homing capabilities on our birds,
But, we can produce birds of a
phenomenal body
characteristics and features ,and
these would be:
-skeleton
-feathering
-size
-shape
-weight
-color
It takes time and patience until
we will be able to see the
overall results .It takes will and
experimenting trials, because
we all know that bringing two
birds together with excellent
results in racing, does not
necessary means that those
birds will produce excellent
offsprings .
The way i see it is that a fancier
breeder must have a lot of
knowledge and on the same
time a lot of patience .Quality
must always be the first priority
in the breeding aspect of this
sport and not quantity. Fifty
young birds produced each
year of an exceptional quality,
sounds more appealing to me
than one hundred and fifty
youngsters of good quality.
Good ,is simply not enough
especially when we decide to
compete on National and
International races

bird should confirm us that we have made
the perfect choice. When my busy life
allows me to compete i find great joy
taking part on the long and marathon
distance races, and fanciers competing in
these kind of races should be able to
confirm the fact that perfection in body is
demanded from our birds if we aim to
achieve top results .Such races demand
power, endurance, stamina,and will.
Good birds are simply not enough when
competing against a large number of birds
over such great distances.
I will always advice the long and marathon
distance fanciers one thing :
"If you decided to take on this path ,well
baby, you better be prepared with the
best birds you have got because the good
birds will simply not be able to win."
Whatever bird we decide to bring in must
be minimum of the same quality in body
and performances as our best birds, if not
better.
35
To be even better understood, let us think
about the possibilities here when coupling
such birds together, and see what exactly
the young birds will actually inherit from their
parents - their body features:
- a large bird in size ( inherited from the
father) with small wings (inherited from the
mother), the result is an off balance bird
- a small bird in size ( inherited from the
mother) with large wings (inherited from the
father), the result is an off balance bird.
We can continue with these realistic
possibilities and fill up an entire A4 page by
making combinations in between the two
different sized birds with the following:
-their feet, and these could be - thin , thick,
medium, short, long, medium, light, heavy,
medium
-their tails - long, short, medium
-their neck - long, short, medium,thin ,thick,
medium
-their weight - light, heavy, medium
So as we can see the variables and the
combinations between these variables are
just too many and my question would be:
Why risk it?
So instead ot this type of pairing i strongly
recommend the following pairings:
Small x Small
Medium x Medium
Large x Large
Medium x Small
Medium x Large
From this little scheme we can easily see that
the most preferred bird in size for pairing will
be the medium bird
To conclude my ways into breeding, the
young birds we must breed in order to
achieve top results are birds with a perfect
balance regardless of their body size.
This is the way of going forward and succeed in
this sport.
Mathematics don`t work
I could talk for quite a while about breeding and
perhaps i will do it on a future article of your
favorite sport magazine, but before i conclude,
i would like to give fanciers a tip like on all my
past and future articles, that can be
implemented straight away in their lofts,
something that can be successfully used and
can guarantee better results.
To be successful in breeding, when we make the
pairings with our birds a situation we must
always avoid is to bring two birds together
that are of a different size.
If we are to write down on a sheet of paper the
differences between their body features, they
just simply pile up .Simple straight forward
mathematics tells us that:
3 + 1 = 4 ; 4 : 2 = 2 ...well, we will be amazed
how in pigeons breeding 4 : 2 can actually equal
1,3 ( one point three), meaning that a large size
cock coupled with a small size hen in most cases
will Not breed a medium size bird but rather an
off balance bird .
So, What is balance ? I do not intend to treat the
Hand Bird Selection topic now so i will be short
and to the point: The balance of a bird can be
expressed by comparing, on one side the size of
its wings, while on the other side we will have its
weight and the length of the bird. In other
words: Has the bird the right wings size to propel
itself through the air in the fastest time possible,
because after all my dear fellow friends ,
this sport is extremely related to speed isn`t it ?
Balance must never be mistaken with the
posture or stance of the bird, which can also be
expressed as leaning backwards, straight or
leaning forward .

Prevent , Recognize ,Cure….
On this article I intend to present you a
common disease that our racing pigeons might
have to fight against during their lifetime.
The basic rule here is always to prevent ,
recognize the disease ,and in the case of the
presence of it ,to cure it.
The health of our birds must be top priority if
we want to achieve the best results in the
racing seasons and breeding alike. No matter
how hard we try to bring the best birds in our
lofts, if we are not prepared with knowledge
and open mind for when an disease will strike,
our expectations from our pigeons will not be
met ,even worst ,big losses will occur in young
birds and old ones as well .
One of the biggest mistake most pigeons
fanciers are doing is bringing new birds in the
loft without checking on them first, and mixing
them up with the existing birds in the loft.
It does not matter from where you got the
birds and how much you've paid for them,i
know you are anxious to see them in action
whatever that may be,but do yourself a big
favor check them first and most of all put them
separately for about 10 days and keep eye on
them ...
the health of your existing birds should be
first priority rather than a quick settling in
your loft of a new bird.
Coccidiosis
Coccidiosis is an intestinal disease that is
widely distributed among pigeons throughout
the world. Coccidia inhabit the small intestine
of nearly all pigeons.
Pathogen: Along with trichomonads, coccidia
are the most commonly found protozoa in
pigeons, occurring in the form of two eimeria
species: E.labbeana and E.columbarum.
Both species only infest pigeons. Coccidia
form permanent stages (oocysts), which only
become infective after maturing in the
environment.
Course of disease:
Following ingestion of the oocysts, their
subsequent developmental stages damage the
intestinal wall. Within 4-7 days of infection,
the pigeon starts to excrete oocysts again.
There are two forms of coccidiosis: The
asymptomatic (or subclinical) form occurs
most frequently. After ingesting small
quantities of oocysts for the first time, pigeons
develop an immunity to infection due to

stimulation of endogenous defence
mechanisms, without visibly succumbing
to the disease. With this protection, which is
reinforced by constant ingestion of low levels
of oocysts, the birds live in a kind of
equilibrium with the parasites, which also
protects them against severe intestinal
disease. .
Symptoms of Coccidiosis :
Very quick loss of weight
Slimy dark green droppings
Lethargic
Loss of desire to fly
Pigeons infected with cocci manifest an
increase desire to drink water
Asymptomatic form:
Infested birds appear healthy, albeit
rather less lively. The droppings are
sometimes rather soft.
Acute course:
Visibly affected pigeons produce malodorous,
muco-aqueous, greenish and sometimes
bloody diarrhoea.
They are listless, have puffed-up plumage and
drink profusely, with reduced feed intake
We can find this disease in humid dirty lofts .

No man in pigeon racing owns a colony of Jan Aarden pigeons so
close to the absolute base - that is what makes Machiel Buijk so
special in the International pigeon world … and that is why so many
fanciers worldwide know the way to Machiel Buijk’s homeground
Hoogerheide; because very inbred pigeons are so important to built
up a strong colony of good racing pigeons. At his fantastic breeding
lofts there are only pure Jan Aarden pigeons of a quality never seen
before; all bred from the best lines of the world famous Jan Aarden
long distance strain.
Machiel Buijk has always been very impressed by the ‘Dolle’ of Marijn
van Geel, not only for its perfect results on the long distance races,
but even more by the unique breeding eyes of this bird. He proved to
be one of the best breeding birds of the Jan Aarden strain. ‘Dolle’ is
without any doubt the best long distance pigeon ever; he
participated in 17 long distance races and won 17 prizes with a/o
1. prov. St. Vincent 1,684 b. (3. Nat. 6,844 b.), 1. prov. Dax 1,032 b.
(3. Nat. 3,649 b.), 9. prov. Limoges - 1,610 b., 12. Nat. St. Vincent -
6,917 b., etc. The ‘Dolle’-strain of Marijn van Geel has produced many
National and International winners since and therefore his his value
for the pigeon sport became immense.
Machiel Buijk has had 13 direct children of ‘Dolle’ and 18 direct
children of ‘Vlekje’ (top grandson to ‘Dolle’) in his breeding loft.
Those pigeons were the basis for his unique Jan Aarden strain. In
2014, fifteen descendants of the legendary ‘Dolle’ won a National or
International long distance race and the list of victories is growing.
The Jan Aarden strain still lives in all its glory thanks to the passion
of Machiel Buijk for the best long distance strain in the world.
MachielBuijkThe house of Jan Aarden
The ancient Jan Aarden strain is preserved in
an outstanding way by Dutch Machiel Buijk
The most important pigeon strain in the history of marathon racing is that of Jan
Aarden … the late super champion with a strain of pigeons that stands out in the
toughest battles! That ancient strain is preserved in an outstanding way by Dutch
Machiel Buijk, the house of Jan Aarden. He owned 13 direct children of ‘Dolle’ and
18 direct children of ‘Vlekje’ the base for his unique Jan Aarden strain. Many pigeon
fanciers, all over the world, succeeded with pigeons from Machiel Buijk.

  • 12. while the sky above it will be always gray. In order for us to obtain top results in each and every single race we must make sure that our birds are equipped with an extremely powerful well developed immune system. Their entire being is in a continuous process of changing in their first year of life muscles, skeleton, wings but first of all their immune system. By Dacian Busecan Photography Erika Busecan Video by Dacian Busecan We live in a world literally flooded from the health point of view with antibiotics, supplements, vitamines, vaccines and all kind of bizarre chemically produced medicines. The world of our pigeons health is not much different .New products with very appealing names and labels fill the over saturated market reassuring and kind of leading the puzzled fancier towards the usage of them. The use of antibiotics seems to be the first ,the last and of course always the best option for any minor change in our birds droppings .Have we really forget entirely The Natural Ways ?Can we really not see with how much disgust our birds drink that bad ,hard smell yellow liquid? I personally believe that a lot of people do it because other people do it ,just like a domino effect . It is enough for one person to do it and the others will follow suit. The question is " What are the consequences of using antibiotics for short and long term ? The answer is: damage of the liver and kidneys, damage of the intestines, bad moulting with twisted, pierced and deformed primary flights , loss of vitality, loss of fertility, weakened immune system,the birds body will develop in time immunity to this antibiotics and the next option will be an even stronger antibiotic . Should we not use at all antibiotics ? We are forced to , but only as the last and only option for the reasons i have just mentioned above. The future of every loft lies on the quality of the young birds we produce each and every single year. If these birds are not kept free or to a minimum usage of antibiotics for their First year of life the future of that loft will have on its path many question marks while THE USE OF CINNAMON IN OUR PIGEONS DIET Natural Remedies Iinternational Racing Pigeon 12

This goal can be achieved with 100 % Natural Products and i intend to guide fanciers through this process starting with this article. .So today you will learn something that you can apply right after you finished reading these lines and i guarantee you that from now on you will see this sport with different eyes , but what is more important is that you will enjoy it more .In all my books that i have published so far on amazon site (and they are about 12 of them), i have said that knowledge is power on this sport, and i feel like i have left something really important out of the context ,i think is more than power i think is happiness and joy above all A fancier that has healthy birds is a happy fancier. I know that because i am one of them ,I know that because very close friends of mine that have followed my advice are happy people, I know that because my You Tube channel counts over 100.000 views in less than 3 months and people that have watched my videos about * * * Note ! The right color of a natural tea must always be light ; Example; Light green , light yellow, light brown . 13

  • 18. First i would like to congratulate you in taking this beautiful sport and welcome you in the world of pigeon racing. Some people say that once you are in, you will never want to get out of it and i totally agree with this statement. Pigeon racing is a sport spread world wide and has absolutely no age limit . Young or old men or women they have all been conquered for life by this majestic one of kind creatures we call racing pigeons. Their intelligence and capabilities to return home from short or extreme long distances made them favorite animals for millions of people around the globe. Kings and queens, wealthy or hard working men along the history enjoyed their presence and called them friends, companions and heroes. The beauty of this sport is that everything can be learned about it ,we do not have to be born with a phenomenal talent to achieve the highest performances . This unique sport will bring in the life of any fancier the thrill and pleasure he/she has never experienced before - the joy of winning a race. The many aspects of this sport will offer unique and beautiful experiences to the new fancier and also the chance to make friends all over the world , which is by far the most important one. After more then 30 years on this beautiful sport, there is one very important thing that i have learned : “It is important to win the first place, but more important is with how many people do you enjoy it ,as he, who won the first place and has no friends around him, will be just a lonely winner '' Dacian Busecan I can only hope that this advice will always guide you in your racing pigeons career and i welcome you in the beautiful world of pigeon racers. . by Dacian Busecan Photography by Erika Busecan BEGINNERS GUIDE Bird Description From the racing pigeons history we learn that the rock dove ( Columbia Livia) is the ancestor of our today`s pigeons. Its physical form and shape has been moulded by the pigeon fanciers through different crosses and rigorous selections more then 300 years ago ,a process that is still carried out today by fanciers who are aiming to obtain a type of bird that will be able to perform on any weather conditions, terrain, and on any distances. From the ancient times people tried to figure out how this little bird find its way home and what body parts help him the most in completing the task that it is been imposed to him. From the 22 body parts presented above the ones that have always draw attention of the fancier and science people, are the eyes and the wings of the bird .To these two body parts have been dedicated extended searches where the eyes have a very close relation with the breeding capabilities and on the other side the studies about the wing formation will tell the fancier whether the bird can fly a short distance race or a long distance race.. Just like for all the other concepts and theories in life there are as many believers as nonbelievers and i will advice the young fancier to believe in only what is proven and what he can experiment himself with his own birds .

Regarding the two body parts of the bird, the eye of a good bird must be shiny full of color with a pupil that will constrict in the light and will dilate in the dark surrounded by an eye cere of pure white color. The wing on the other side is the main body part of the bird that will help the bird to glide and propel through the air, but it is good to know when we study it that we must look at it as part of a whole which is called the balance of the bird and not separately. Time will pass, and along with it the new fancier will gather experience which will help him to make a right judgement when assessing a bird in the hand . Through a selective breeding carried out year after year, the young fancier will learn that all these body characteristics of the bird can be modified and improved. Knowledge and experience will help the fancier in obtaining the type of birds that he believes that will be able to pass successfully the tests in the racing season. 19
  • 20. Cock or Hen To determine the sex of a bird can be sometimes quite a challenge especially for the young birds .My recommendation for the new fancier is to let the nature follow its course and let the birds to reach maturity which means a complete moult of the young birds in the first year of their life. It is also good to know that only the birds that were born at the beginning of the year March-April will pass through a complete moult at the end of the year. The late breeds which were born in the months of June and July and later will not moult completely at the end of the year and their complete moult will happen at the end of the next year. In both cases the determination of the sex will be possible anyway at the end of their first year of life .The cocks regardless of their body aspect will continuously look for a partner and try to claim a nest box or boxes in the loft. They will display many times during the day by dragging their tail on the ground, puffing their chest out and flapping their wings with noise .Although not always the case as soon as they have moulted the fourth primary feather their sexual instinct will kick in. In most of the cases their appearances are bigger in size, a bigger head with larger wattles then the hens. When two birds are in the process of mating the cock will always be the one Iinternational Racing Pigeon 20

  • 22. The loft Whoever decide to take on this sport must ask himself a simple question:” Where will the birds live ?” We all do what we can in life, some of us have the possibility of starting with a big loft while others only with a small one, what is important here is to offer the pigeons a house where they will feel safe and will keep them healthy throughout their life . Below i am gonna list the things that everyone should take in consideration when deciding to build a pigeon loft. It is good to know that the biggest enemy in a pigeon`s life are not the prey birds or other animal predators, but rather the humidity from inside the loft .A humid loft will never be able to host healthy birds, diseases like: coccidiosis, trichomoniasis, salmonella, hexamitiasis and lots more others will always be present in such lofts. So here it is the most important rule of loft building and positioning - a loft must be dry, and for this we must always build it at minimum 50 cm from the ground level facing the sun . The second big rule is the loft ventilation ,or the way the air comes in and gets out from the loft and what path must follow to create a nice dry but yet fresh temperature inside the loft. The best advice i can give to all fanciers here is that the openings made in the wall of the loft through which the air comes and get out the loft , must be made on the opposite side from where the birds are resting e.g. nest boxes. To be even more precise and for a better understanding , if the nest boxes are placed on the south wall of the loft ,then the openings must be made on the north wall of the loft .Once this rule is followed and applied, all the other little holes that occur during the loft building process, must be completely sealed , the air should come and exit the loft only through the two openings specially made and nothing else. Iinternational Racing Pigeon 22
  • 23. The floor The main rule in the floor building of the loft is to be continuous and where the two pieces of plywood are joined together should have no gap in between them to prevent droppings to be retained that can be mixed with food that pigeons are throwing out from the feeders while they are eating. A nice even floor will also allow an easy maintenance and cleaning that must be performed by the fancier minimum twice per week. Wooden ,plastic or metal flooring grills can be placed and installed over the main loft floor to keep the pigeons plumage as clean as possible and to help the fancier with a longer periods of time in between the cleaning sessions. * * * Bottom left - a new loft Top - basic lofts Bottom - Wooden floor grills 23
  • 24. The walls If we are to build our loft, these walls must be together with screws, so in the event of an cert relocation we can easy dismantle them with no temperature inside the loft ,the outside walls m inside with a 1 cm thick plywood sheets. The compartments inside the loft It is ideally where possible to build a loft with m breeders ,one compartment for the racing bird The walls in between the compartments do no single sheet of plywood of 0.8 cm can be used access door in the loft on a side wall which will must have a width of 90- 100 cm for an easy m have on one side the access for the two compa and at the end of it will give direct access at the compartment. These wooden floor grills have a height of 10 cm ,the droppings are falling through the gaps in between the wooden grills on the floor from where the fancier can collect them when the cleaning takes place. Heated flooring In wetter and colder month of the year the floor will not be dry enough and the humidity in the loft will rise which will stop the droppings to get dry faster . To avoid this situation the floor may be heated through adequate heating installations that can be placed either on the floor itself or under it. This will automatically lead to a quick dry of the droppings and the air inside the loft will be much healthier for the birds Iinternational Racing Pigeon 24

To create an adequate must be insulated or doubled on the minimum three compartments: one for ds ,and the last one for the young birds. ot demand to be doubled up in thickness ,a and will work perfectly .We can place the l lead in the main corridor .This corridor movement of the fancier . This corridor will artments: young birds and racing birds e last compartment, the breeders These three compartments will provide enough space for the birds to be separated in the winter time but also to isolate birds that need special treatment and care. The access corridor must be used on his entirety by the fancier .Here the fancier can deposit and place the food for the birds cleaning tools and medicines that do not require a low specific temperature to be preserved . A tap of clean water can also be placed in this corridor that will help the fancier to change and refill the drinkers as often as possible .One of the most annoying thing for the fancier is to go up and down from the loft in the house to access the things he needs for his pigeons care in the daily routine. 25
  • 26. The closer he will have everything he needs for his birds and easy access to them, the more enjoyable this sport will become for him and his family or friends. The nest boxes An very important thing for each loft is to ensure that every bird will have its own place inside it, where it can rest and feel safe. The nest boxes are the most important thing for each pair especially for breeders. A well settled pair will occupy a nest box and will defend it from the intruders that will try to overtake it .The nest box must be big enough in size to host a pair of birds comfortably but also for when the second round of eggs will be laid by the breeding hen which will happen before the first pair of youngsters will reach 3 weeks of age . A second nest bowl must be place inside the nest box or otherwise the breeding hen will lay the eggs on the same nest bowl which can lead to broken eggs .To avoid this a little dividing plywood wall can be placed in between the two nest bowls which will ensure a calm sitting period on the second pair of eggs by both parents. A good size of these nest boxes would be 35 cm deep by 40 cm in height by 70 cm in length. I will always advice fanciers to buy these nest boxes rather then manufacture them themselves . Where this is not possible the nest boxes must be made that way so it can allow the fancier an easy access for checking and cleaning of them. When the pairings takes place the nest boxes must be provided with fronts that will keep the birds inside them until the pair has settled. The placement of the nest boxes inside the loft must be made from 40 cm up from the floor level . This way the pairs that have occupied the low level nest boxes will not be disturbed by the over territorial cocks that are continuously looking for new places . The nest bowls The nest bowls are little plates that have a diameter of 22- 25 cm and a depth of 5- 10 cm .When these are placed inside the nest boxes the pigeons will occupy them immediately and the birds will sit inside them together or one after another .The nest bowls are specially made so they do not turn over when the birds will sit on one side of them. The nest will be build in these nest bowls with the hen sitting and carefully arranging the nest materials that have been brought in by the cock. The main nest materials that pigeons love are dried tobacco leaves ,oak t ( primaries and tail) feathers . Also we must provide for the birds inside th especially in the young birds section where . These individual resting perches may have out of the two the first category is to be pre dropping to fall on the bird beneath it . Iinternational Racing Pigeon 26

  • 28. The roof To avoid as much as possible the rain hitting the walls of our loft, the roof must be that way made so it will pass 40 cm on all sides the walls line of the loft. Water collecting installations must be placed where needed to avoid the formation of little ponds around the loft and humid air that may come inside the loft through the ventilation system. The aviary The aviary is an extension of the loft and will have the side walls made of net wire. The roof can be made of transparent or non transparent plastic that will keep the birds dry in the rainy days . The aviary is extremely beneficial to any loft and it will allow birds to enjoy the good weather and refreshing baths, which must be offered to pigeons twice per week. Another beneficial aspect of the aviary is to keep away predators from our birds and so the net wire must be carefully chosen and built that way so it will not allow any predators or non predators (sparrows) to have access through it. The size of the aviary is also important : the bigger - the better, and must be placed that way so it will collect the energy of the sun for the entire day length . It is good to know that the sun will provide the Vitamin D for the birds only by exposing themselves to it. A concreted floor would be the ideal solution in the aviary if a suspended floor will not be possible to be installed .I do not recommend the presence of sand in the aviary or inside the loft as this material is a humidity retainer and will be an excellent environment for bacteria developing which must be avoided at all costs. Another positive aspect of the concrete floor is that is very easy to clean by simply using a pressure water hose. Once this is done the concrete floor will attract the heat of the sun and it will dry in no time. Pigeons entry Another important aspect of the loft building and positioning is where are we gonna place the pigeons entry . The first thing we must have in mind when doing this is an easy access for the birds .We certainly do not want to position the loft that way so it will have in front of the entry obstacles like trees or high buildings, and the main reason for this is that when pigeons w There are several types of entry systems on the mark system of trapping which means that the birds will b pigeon racing sport is called Sputnik .This system con When we can not afford to buy such entry systems fo First we will need to make a frame for the opening w place it to the roof the easier will be for the birds to should be in the middle of each compartment to offe entry, the landing board 60 cm long by 40 cm wide.

A very well known entry system in the ntains all the three aspects mentioned above and we can see it in nearly every loft around the globe or our loft and we must come with a solution ourselves here is a few tips of how we can go about it. which can have the following measurements : 60 cm in length by 30 cm in height. The closer we will access it especially the young ones in their first week of liberation. The optimum position of the entry er the birds enough space to access it from any corner of the loft. Further we can fix outside of the be well fixed and made from an anti slippery material. The next step is to build the second frame that e hinges must be placed on the inside face of the loft as the main movement of this second frame will attach a set of bob wires by the second frame on the inside face. The entry is now done and all we e inside frame up and attach it to the ceiling ,after the birds have left the loft we can let the frame the landing board through the bob wires without being able to get out the loft again. 29
  • 30. Another mild winter and yet again precious little snow or cold weather. Well, there was a week or was it two when it seemed to stay cold. The problem is that we rely on some hot summers and cold winters to keep the general level of infection down. Most infectious organisms cannot withstand being desiccated, bombarded with UV, frozen and thawed! However, with mild winters and dismal summers, then expect a slow and steady build up of problems. Nothing stays the same. The current outbreak of H5N8 strain of Avian Influenza is the culmination of slow spread globally for the last 10 years. During this time the virus has also changed and mutated, so that it now kills waterfowl rather than merely use them as a means of global spread. It is not just ‘Flu’, other diseases and ectoparasites (parasites that live on the skin or feathers of birds and other animals) are also spreading. The freedom to take your dog on holiday to Europe and the failure of owners to check for ticks or apply tick treatments prior to returning to the UK. Is believed to be the reason that a new species of tick has been introduced into the UK. Our generally warmer climate is allowing it to settle in the UK. Unfortunately, this tick also carries the infection of canine babesiosis (Lyme Disease) which can be a killer. Your pigeon loft with its multiple age groups and pigeon racing provide an ideal setting for new infections to be introduced, build up and then spread when racing or at shows. If blood sucking mites, biting flies and beetles become infected. Then they can both maintain and spread infection within your loft. Ectoparasites require warmth and moisture to reproduce. If it is too hot or too cold, then reproduction is impaired and some will die. Of course, for the last few years that really has not happened at least in the south of England. The result is that more parasites remain dormant through the winter months waiting for warmer weather and a new supply of suitable hosts to feed on. This is not a new phenomenon. I have said it before when discussing the benefits of using Interkokask RTU to inactivate and prevent the build up of diseases and coccidial oocysts within your loft. The same will apply to mites, flies and beetles within your loft. They can find all the difficult to get at nooks and crannies where they can exist through the winter months. If mother nature is not going to come to our aid, then we must use alternative methods to reduce the population of these ectoparasites CBM8 MV is a new persistent combination product that both knocks down and kills .

CBM8 MV is a long acting, microencapsulated combination of ingredients that is applied directly to surfaces within the loft. The microencapsulation ensures that the active ingredients are released slowly for a period of up to 8 weeks. To get the best results read the directions carefully, remove all the gross dust, dirt and debris from the surfaces to be sprayed. Your birds should not be present in the section that is being sprayed. Treat the whole loft at the same time or within a day or two. Remove all drinkers, feeders, grit pots and nest bowls, so that they cannot inadvertently be sprayed. 31 An ideal time to treat perches, floors, nest boxes is when the birds are out exercising or have been confined to the aviary. Spray all surfaces, top, bottom and sides of nest boxes, the top side and underneath of perches and sputnik floor. When it has dried replace the drinkers, feeders and grit pots. Then allow your birds back in. Routine control, every 8 weeks, throughout the warmer months will reduce the irritation caused by mites, biting flies and beetles and lower the risk of infections such as paratyphoid being maintained within your loft. Of course, if you are a brilliant flyer and do not suffer from flies, mite or beetle problems. Then you probably will not notice much difference! D.G.Parsons MRCVS

The future of every loft depends on the quality of every youngster our breeding birds will produce . There is a lot at stake in regards of how skilful we are on this aspect of the sport, because these young birds will not only represent ourselves in the racing season but also other fanciers that have acquired these birds from us. For this reason only i consider breeding of a greater importance than the actual racing. For those of us who embraced this aspect of the sport will realize that we will never be able to increase the homing capabilities on our birds, But, we can produce birds of a phenomenal body characteristics and features ,and these would be: -skeleton -feathering -size -shape -weight -color It takes time and patience until we will be able to see the overall results .It takes will and experimenting trials, because we all know that bringing two birds together with excellent results in racing, does not necessary means that those birds will produce excellent offsprings . The way i see it is that a fancier breeder must have a lot of knowledge and on the same time a lot of patience .Quality must always be the first priority in the breeding aspect of this sport and not quantity. Fifty young birds produced each year of an exceptional quality, sounds more appealing to me than one hundred and fifty youngsters of good quality.

When my busy life allows me to compete i find great joy taking part on the long and marathon distance races, and fanciers competing in these kind of races should be able to confirm the fact that perfection in body is demanded from our birds if we aim to achieve top results .Such races demand power, endurance, stamina,and will. Good birds are simply not enough when competing against a large number of birds over such great distances. I will always advice the long and marathon distance fanciers one thing : "If you decided to take on this path ,well baby, you better be prepared with the best birds you have got because the good birds will simply not be able to win." Whatever bird we decide to bring in must be minimum of the same quality in body and performances as our best birds, if not better. 35
  • 36. To be even better understood, let us think about the possibilities here when coupling such birds together, and see what exactly the young birds will actually inherit from their parents - their body features: - a large bird in size ( inherited from the father) with small wings (inherited from the mother), the result is an off balance bird - a small bird in size ( inherited from the mother) with large wings (inherited from the father), the result is an off balance bird. We can continue with these realistic possibilities and fill up an entire A4 page by making combinations in between the two different sized birds with the following: -their feet, and these could be - thin , thick, medium, short, long, medium, light, heavy, medium -their tails - long, short, medium -their neck - long, short, medium,thin ,thick, medium -their weight - light, heavy, medium So as we can see the variables and the combinations between these variables are just too many and my question would be: Why risk it? So instead ot this type of pairing i strongly recommend the following pairings: Small x Small Medium x Medium Large x Large Medium x Small Medium x Large From this little scheme we can easily see that the most preferred bird in size for pairing will be the medium bird To conclude my ways into breeding, the young birds we must breed in order to achieve top results are birds with a perfect balance regardless of their body size. This is the way of going forward and succeed in this sport. Mathematics don`t work I could talk for quite a while about breeding and perhaps i will do it on a future article of your favorite sport magazine, but before i conclude, i would like to give fanciers a tip like on all my past and future articles, that can be implemented straight away in their lofts, something that can be successfully used and can guarantee better results. To be successful in breeding, when we make the pairings with our birds a situation we must always avoid is to bring two birds together that are of a different size. If we are to write down on a sheet of paper the differences between their body features, they just simply pile up .Simple straight forward mathematics tells us that: 3 + 1 = 4 ; 4 : 2 = 2 ...well, we will be amazed how in pigeons breeding 4 : 2 can actually equal 1,3 ( one point three), meaning that a large size cock coupled with a small size hen in most cases will Not breed a medium size bird but rather an off balance bird . So, What is balance ? I do not intend to treat the Hand Bird Selection topic now so i will be short and to the point: The balance of a bird can be expressed by comparing, on one side the size of its wings, while on the other side we will have its weight and the length of the bird. In other words: Has the bird the right wings size to propel itself through the air in the fastest time possible, because after all my dear fellow friends , this sport is extremely related to speed isn`t it ? Balance must never be mistaken with the posture or stance of the bird, which can also be expressed as leaning backwards, straight or leaning forward . Iinternational Racing Pigeon 36
  • 37. Prevent , Recognize ,Cure…. On this article I intend to present you a common disease that our racing pigeons might have to fight against during their lifetime. The basic rule here is always to prevent , recognize the disease ,and in the case of the presence of it ,to cure it. The health of our birds must be top priority if we want to achieve the best results in the racing seasons and breeding alike. No matter how hard we try to bring the best birds in our lofts, if we are not prepared with knowledge and open mind for when an disease will strike, our expectations from our pigeons will not be met ,even worst ,big losses will occur in young birds and old ones as well . One of the biggest mistake most pigeons fanciers are doing is bringing new birds in the loft without checking on them first, and mixing them up with the existing birds in the loft. It does not matter from where you got the birds and how much you've paid for them,i know you are anxious to see them in action whatever that may be,but do yourself a big favor check them first and most of all put them separately for about 10 days and keep eye on them ... the health of your existing birds should be first priority rather than a quick settling in your loft of a new bird. Coccidiosis Coccidiosis is an intestinal disease that is widely distributed among pigeons throughout the world. Coccidia inhabit the small intestine of nearly all pigeons. Pathogen: Along with trichomonads, coccidia are the most commonly found protozoa in pigeons, occurring in the form of two eimeria species: E.labbeana and E.columbarum. Both species only infest pigeons. Coccidia form permanent stages (oocysts), which only become infective after maturing in the environment. Course of disease: Following ingestion of the oocysts, their subsequent developmental stages damage the intestinal wall. Within 4-7 days of infection, the pigeon starts to excrete oocysts again. There are two forms of coccidiosis: The asymptomatic (or subclinical) form occurs most frequently. After ingesting small quantities of oocysts for the first time, pigeons develop an immunity to infection due to . by Dacian Busecan COCCIDIOSIS DISEASES AND TREATMENTS 37

With this protection, which is reinforced by constant ingestion of low levels of oocysts, the birds live in a kind of equilibrium with the parasites, which also protects them against severe intestinal disease. . Symptoms of Coccidiosis : Very quick loss of weight Slimy dark green droppings Lethargic Loss of desire to fly Pigeons infected with cocci manifest an increase desire to drink water Asymptomatic form: Infested birds appear healthy, albeit rather less lively. The droppings are sometimes rather soft. Acute course: Visibly affected pigeons produce malodorous, muco-aqueous, greenish and sometimes bloody diarrhoea. They are listless, have puffed-up plumage and drink profusely, with reduced feed intake We can find this disease in humid dirty lofts .

At his fantastic breeding lofts there are only pure Jan Aarden pigeons of a quality never seen before; all bred from the best lines of the world famous Jan Aarden long distance strain. Machiel Buijk has always been very impressed by the ‘Dolle’ of Marijn van Geel, not only for its perfect results on the long distance races, but even more by the unique breeding eyes of this bird. He proved to be one of the best breeding birds of the Jan Aarden strain. ‘Dolle’ is without any doubt the best long distance pigeon ever; he participated in 17 long distance races and won 17 prizes with a/o 1. prov. St. Vincent 1,684 b. (3. Nat. 6,844 b.), 1. prov. Dax 1,032 b. (3. Nat. 3,649 b.), 9. prov. Limoges - 1,610 b., 12. Nat. St. Vincent - 6,917 b., etc. The ‘Dolle’-strain of Marijn van Geel has produced many National and International winners since and therefore his his value for the pigeon sport became immense. Machiel Buijk has had 13 direct children of ‘Dolle’ and 18 direct children of ‘Vlekje’ (top grandson to ‘Dolle’) in his breeding loft. Those pigeons were the basis for his unique Jan Aarden strain. In 2014, fifteen descendants of the legendary ‘Dolle’ won a National or International long distance race and the list of victories is growing. The Jan Aarden strain still lives in all its glory thanks to the passion of Machiel Buijk for the best long distance strain in the world. MachielBuijkThe house of Jan Aarden The ancient Jan Aarden strain is preserved in an outstanding way by Dutch Machiel Buijk The most important pigeon strain in the history of marathon racing is that of Jan Aarden … the late super champion with a strain of pigeons that stands out in the toughest battles! That ancient strain is preserved in an outstanding way by Dutch Machiel Buijk, the house of Jan Aarden. He owned 13 direct children of ‘Dolle’ and 18 direct children of ‘Vlekje’ the base for his unique Jan Aarden strain. Many pigeon fanciers, all over the world, succeeded with pigeons from Machiel Buijk.
