Backs VI-SPU-MIN is a mineral feed for pigeons containing minerals, trace elements, vitamins and amino acids, including methionine and lysine. It is designed for periods when pigeons have increased nutritional demands, including breeding, rearing young birds, racing and moulting.
Available in 1kg and 5kg sizes, VI-SPU-MIN can be offered separately in a small mineral container for free intake or mixed with the normal feed.
Price range: £5.50 through £20.00

VI-SPU-MIN provides more than a conventional mineral feed chalk. Its formulation combines mineral supplementation with vitamins, trace elements and amino acids, providing additional nutritional support at key stages of the pigeon calendar.
The inclusion of methionine and lysine is particularly relevant during periods such as growth and feather development, when these essential amino acids form part of the bird’s nutritional requirements.
The manufacturer recommends VI-SPU-MIN during periods when pigeons are subject to greater nutritional demands, including:
It can therefore be incorporated into the loft feeding programme at several different stages of the year rather than being restricted to a single season.
Backs describes VI-SPU-MIN as a mineral feed containing minerals, trace elements, vitamins and amino acids, including methionine and lysine.

VI-SPU-MIN is intended to complement the pigeons’ normal diet rather than replace their everyday feed.
Its ability to be offered separately or mixed with grain gives fanciers flexibility in how it is incorporated into the loft feeding routine, particularly as nutritional requirements change through breeding, young bird development, racing and the annual moult.
Always follow the feeding information provided on the current product packaging.
Both sizes contain the same product. The 1kg pack may be more practical for smaller lofts or less frequent use, while the 5kg bucket provides a larger quantity for bigger lofts or fanciers who use VI-SPU-MIN regularly.
The product is intended for pigeons and can be incorporated into feeding programmes during breeding, rearing, racing and moulting. Its use is therefore not limited solely to birds actively competing in races.
No. VI-SPU-MIN is intended as a supplementary mineral feed and should be used alongside an appropriate everyday pigeon diet rather than as a replacement for the pigeons' normal feed.
That depends on the other products being used. Because VI-SPU-MIN already contains vitamins, minerals, trace elements and amino acids, check the composition and feeding instructions of other supplements before combining them to avoid unnecessary duplication.
Methionine and lysine are essential amino acids that pigeons must obtain through their diet. They are involved in normal protein synthesis and are particularly relevant when nutritional demands increase, such as during growth and feather production.
