Versele-Laga Colombine Neo-Grit 2.5kg — Washed & Sterilised Digestive Grit for Racing Pigeons

Colombine Neo-Grit is Versele-Laga’s premium washed and sterilised grit blend, formulated to support efficient digestion in racing and breeding pigeons. Combining stomach gravel, silex stones, oyster shells, seashells and redstone, it provides the mechanical grinding action and mineral content pigeons need to process their feed effectively and maintain peak condition.

Unlike standard grit, Neo-Grit is washed and sterilised — reducing the risk of contamination and making it a cleaner, safer choice for the loft. Available in a handy 2.5kg bag, ideal for smaller lofts or as a top-up alongside a larger supply.

Key Benefits

• Stomach gravel & silex stones — act as the pigeon’s teeth, grinding food in the gizzard
• Oyster shells & seashells — natural calcium for bone strength and eggshell quality
• Redstone — iron and trace minerals for health and vitality
• Washed & sterilised — cleaner and safer than standard grit
• Supports efficient ingestion and optimal digestion
• 2.5kg — ideal for smaller lofts or as a convenient top-up

How to Use

Offer freely in galleypots at all times — do not scatter on the floor. Pigeons will self-regulate their intake according to need.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Neo-Grit different from standard Colombine Grit?
Neo-Grit is washed and sterilised, which removes surface contaminants and reduces the risk of introducing pathogens into the loft. It’s a cleaner option, particularly valued by fanciers who prioritise loft hygiene.

Does it contain aniseed?
No — unlike Colombine Grit + Redstone, Neo-Grit does not include aniseed. It focuses on the core grit and mineral components.

Why do pigeons need grit?
Pigeons have no teeth — they rely on grit in the gizzard to mechanically grind down grain and seeds. Without adequate grit, digestion is less efficient and birds may lose condition over time.

How often should I replenish it?
Keep it available at all times and replenish as needed. Pigeons consume more during breeding and moulting when mineral demands are higher.
