Beyers Mineral-Oligo 400ml

Beyers Mineral-Oligo 400ml — Minerals, Trace Elements & Vitamin B12 for Racing Pigeons

Mineral-Oligo is a liquid mineral and trace element preparation enriched with Vitamin B12, formulated to support racing pigeons during periods of intensive effort when mineral depletion is most likely. Whether during breeding, rearing youngsters, post-race recovery, fatigue after flight or moulting, it replenishes key minerals and supports optimal metabolic function.

Trace elements are delivered in chelate form — the most bioavailable format — ensuring maximum absorption from the drinking water. Sodium selenite provides selenium, an essential trace element for metabolism and immune health.

Key Benefits

• Replenishes key minerals — calcium, sodium, magnesium & phosphorus lost during intensive effort
• Vitamin B12 — supports metabolism and improves general health
• Chelated trace elements — zinc, iron & copper in the most bioavailable form for optimal absorption
• Sodium selenite — natural selenium source supporting metabolism and immune function
• Suitable for breeding, moulting, racing and post-medical treatment recovery
• Liquid formula — easy to administer via drinking water

How to Use

Add 5ml to 2 litres of drinking water, 2–3 days per week. Use during breeding and moulting season, racing season, and after medical treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do racing pigeons need mineral supplementation?
Intensive racing, breeding and moulting all place significant demands on the body’s mineral reserves. Calcium, sodium, magnesium and phosphorus are particularly prone to depletion — supplementation helps maintain balance and supports recovery.

What are chelated trace elements?
Chelation binds trace elements (zinc, iron, copper) to amino acids or organic molecules, making them significantly more bioavailable than inorganic mineral salts. This means more of the mineral is actually absorbed and utilised by the pigeon.

What does selenium do?
Selenium (provided as sodium selenite) is an essential trace element that supports antioxidant defence, thyroid function and immune health. It works synergistically with vitamin E to protect cells from oxidative stress.

Why is Vitamin B12 included?
B12 is essential for red blood cell formation, nerve function and energy metabolism. It supports overall health and helps pigeons recover from the metabolic demands of racing and breeding.

Can I use it after a course of medication?
Yes — Mineral-Oligo is specifically recommended after medical treatment to help restore mineral balance disrupted by illness or medication.
