How to Feed

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the widowhood system?
Widowhood is a racing and training method where cock birds are separated from their hens and only reunited briefly before basketing, motivating the bird to race home quickly. It is widely used by serious fanciers for short to middle-distance racing and demands a feed that keeps birds in peak mental and physical condition throughout the season.

What makes Variamax different from a standard mix?
The Variamax formula uses a wider variety of grains, legumes and oil seeds than a standard racing mix. This broad ingredient base ensures birds receive a more complete nutritional profile, reducing the risk of deficiencies that can arise from a less varied diet and supporting consistent performance race after race.

Should I use a depurative mix alongside this?
Yes — most serious fanciers feed a depurative mix such as Versele-Laga Mariman Standard Depurative during rest weeks between races to keep birds lean. Switch back to Variamax Widowhood 2–3 days before basketing to top up energy reserves.

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 and nutritional quality.
