GOLDEN RACE ALGARVE - MILLION EUROS PIGEON RACE

After entering the loft, the pigeons stayed 3 weeks in lofts separated by transport/Country, where they were vaccinated and all preventive treatments were carried out, then they were together in 3 parts, per month of entry, March, April and May.

This week the pigeons entered in May started to leave the loft and all the pigeons are now together and leaving freely, with all the lofts connected so the pigeons can go out freely, and with the help of the olders to start to know the area arround.

Next week the electronic chips will start to be acoplated to the Benzing system, and then intensive training will begin daily around the loft to prepare for the start of official training on 22 July.

After checking all the numbers of the pigeon rings and placing all the chips, we will publish a list of all the pigeons that are in the loft, and we will update the participants' personal accounts with the pigeons and payments.

If you do not know how to access your account, contact the email - golden.race.algarve@gmail.com , as the ring numbers will not be visible in the Benzing rankings, only the codes, for which you will need to access your personal account in order to see the code/ring connection

- In the office, all the staff is preparing the entry lists to publish and acoplate in Benzing sistem, checking the entry forms and the pigeons entered in the loft, but unfortunately not all participants send their entry forms, and so we have some pigeons in the loft that we do not know who belong.

GOLDEN RACE ALGARVE- MILLION EURO PIGEON RACE 2022

The Golden Race Algarve some time ago was invited by Mr Sergio Paulino, owner of the company Intercereais- Pet Cup, for a visit to his feed factory, INTERCEREAIS-PETCUP, located in Torres Vedras, near Lisbon.
The invitation was accepted and a few days ago Rui Emidio and Rogerio Germano visited the factory, and after a guided tour of the entire infrastructure, and checking all the high quality of the seeds and the modern equipment used, we found out why the Pet Cup is on its way to being (or already being) market leader in the sale of feed and products for pigeons in Portugal and Spain.
After the visit, there was a meeting with the factory management, and the nutritionist, and after some exchange of ideas about the composition of the feed that we wanted, because with the training and official races in the summer months and with the heat that normally is, we would have to avoid having seeds that make the pigeons thirsty, and to put seeds that keep the water longer, and a high quality formula with seeds for all the needs of pigeons was reached.
Thus, the Golden Race Algarve and the Pet Cup signed an agreement to supply food for the 2022 derby season, for the approximately 60,000 kg we spend annually, with a guarantee of the same quality throughout the season.
