Matador Premium Athletic has been formulated with a clear principle in mind: energy demand is determined by time in flight, not just distance. This approach makes it particularly effective for modern sprint and middle-distance racing, where pigeons require reliable energy delivery without unnecessary excess.
The mix is designed to provide:
Premium Athletic includes Perilla seeds, which are widely valued by pigeon fanciers for supporting general condition and maintaining balance within the feeding programme. These seeds contribute beneficial fatty acids and are often chosen as part of modern racing diets.
The mix also contains milk thistle seeds, an ingredient traditionally included to support normal liver function and efficient fat metabolism as part of a balanced diet. Together, these ingredients help support overall condition during repeated racing efforts.
Because Premium Athletic is designed as a complete system, it can be fed as a stand-alone racing mix for sprint and middle-distance programmes. This makes it particularly suitable for lofts that prefer a clear, consistent feeding strategy without frequent adjustments.
