1,000 ml of Probac Eisen Iron contains 22,000 mg of a specific organically bonded iron. This type of specific organically bonded iron is, in contrast to other iron preparations, optimally absorbed and utilized by the pigeon’s system. Iron, as an important component of haemoglobin, enables the red blood cells to transport oxygen. Haemoglobin binds inhaled oxygen and transports it to the cells of the body. Especially in periods of high physical strain such as travel, breeding and moult, the amount of iron required rises. Iron deficiency is thus one of the most common deficiencies of our racing pigeons. The direct result is a deficiency in Haemoglobin which leads to an insufficient supply of oxygen for the entire organism. In addition to this other metabolic processes are inhibited. The racing pigeon gets its energy for flight primarily from lipometabolism. The allocation of the energy released by this requires much more oxygen than, for example, that required by the carbohydrate metabolism of humans. This points up the importance of an adequately high concentration of haemoglobin in the blood of the pigeon. Energy in the form of fat, carbohydrates and protein, as well as vitamins, minerals and trace elements are at the pigeon’s disposal through a balanced diet. The presence of a sufficiently high concentration of oxygen in the blood during competitive flight thus becomes the decisive factor, especially in endurance performance.
