Why Choose Trapping Mixture?

Johnston & Jeff are one of Britain's most trusted names in racing pigeon nutrition, supplying fanciers for decades. Trapping Mixture is a specialist pre- and post-race feed — the oat content makes it palatable and easy to digest, encouraging birds to drop quickly into the loft on return and helping replenish energy reserves after the exertion of racing. Its balanced composition makes it equally suitable as a pre-race topping feed in the days before basketing.

How to Feed

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does trapping mixture contain oats?
Oats are highly palatable to pigeons and easy to digest, making them ideal for encouraging birds to enter the loft quickly on return from a race. The familiar smell and taste of oats is a reliable loft attractant used by fanciers for generations.

When should I switch back to a training mix?
Once birds have recovered from racing — typically 1–2 days after returning — transition back to your regular training or racing mix to maintain fitness and conditioning ahead of the next race.

How should I store this feed?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and vermin. Keep the bag sealed or decant into an airtight bin to maintain freshness.

Is this suitable as an everyday feed?
Trapping Mixture is a specialist pre- and post-race feed rather than an everyday ration. For daily feeding during training and racing season, use a dedicated racing or training mix from the Johnston & Jeff range.
