Backs Magnesin combines magnesium, potassium and sodium with vitamin C in a formulation developed specifically with the racing period in mind.
These nutrients perform different functions within the pigeon’s body. Magnesium is involved in normal muscle function, while sodium and potassium are important electrolytes involved in maintaining normal fluid balance.
Racing places increased physical demands on pigeons and their muscles. Magnesium is an important mineral involved in normal muscular function, making an appropriate dietary supply particularly relevant during periods of exertion.
Backs Magnesin provides magnesium alongside potassium and sodium rather than as an individual mineral supplement.
Potassium and sodium are electrolytes involved in the regulation of fluid balance within the body. Their inclusion alongside magnesium makes Magnesin particularly suited to incorporation into a racing pigeon feeding programme.
Backs Magnesin also contains vitamin C. Vitamin C acts as an antioxidant and forms part of the product’s combination of nutrients for pigeons during the racing period.
Magnesin is intended as a supplementary part of the pigeons’ feeding programme rather than a replacement for their normal racing mixture. Fresh drinking water should remain available at all times.
300g
Backs Magnesin is specifically positioned for the demands of the racing period. If you are looking for a general year-round mineral product, other products in the Backs range are designed more specifically for that purpose.
Not exactly. Magnesin contains the electrolytes sodium and potassium, but it also contains magnesium and vitamin C. It should therefore be considered according to its complete formulation rather than simply as a standard electrolyte product.
No. Magnesin is a supplementary product for the racing feeding programme and should not be treated as a replacement for the pigeons' normal feed or wider mineral provision.
It may form part of a wider racing programme, but check the composition and feeding instructions of other products being used at the same time. This is particularly important where another supplement also provides electrolytes, magnesium or vitamin C.
The product information available to us describes Magnesin as being administered with the feed. Unless the current product label states otherwise, I would use it with feed rather than adding it to the drinking water.
No. Backs Magnesin is a nutritional product rather than a veterinary treatment. Magnesium is involved in normal muscle function, but persistent muscular problems or other signs of illness should not be treated solely through supplementation.
Don't increase the quantity simply because a race has been particularly demanding. Follow the feeding instructions provided on the current product packaging rather than increasing the amount without guidance.
