A carefully crafted mixture of ‘Plus’ benefits through advanced extrusion technology
The unique Plus pellets are designed for rapid digestion, ensuring that all essential nutrients are quickly absorbed by the body. These pellets are also enriched with nutraceuticals, including vitamins, amino acids, and minerals, carefully tailored to meet the specific nutritional needs of pigeons depending on their training and racing cycle. Thanks to the extrusion process, starch is broken down, making the pellets far easier to digest. As a result, proteins from the grain are absorbed more efficiently, leading to faster recovery—a major advantage over traditional grain mixes that do not contain Plus pellets. Versele-Laga is one of the few manufacturers incorporating this cutting-edge technology into pigeon feed production.
Extruded pellets vs. cold-pressed pellets
Unlike cold-pressed pellets, extruded pellets offer significantly improved digestibility. The high-pressure, high-temperature process unlocks starch, allowing the nutrients to be absorbed more efficiently. This means pigeons can access the nutrients they need more quickly and effectively.
Key benefits of extruded pellets for racing pigeons:
- Faster digestion and nutrient absorption
- Neutralisation of viruses, bacteria, and mould
- Round, easily consumable pellets—preferred by pigeons over angular, cold-pressed alternatives
- Heat treatment eliminates anti-nutritional factors found in legumes
- Deactivation of spoilage enzymes, preserving nutritional quality
With Plus mixtures from Versele-Laga, your pigeons receive the complete and balanced nutrition they need to achieve top performance. This makes feeding them simpler and more effective for pigeon fanciers. Maximise your pigeons' potential with the best in modern nutrition!
Important notice:
Similar products from other brands do not offer the same benefits, as they rely on cold-pressed pellets. These can be identified by their angular shape, similar to the typical pellet shape used in chicken feed.

The Plus mixtures contain the ideal levels of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, as well as supporting additives for muscles and joints. The feed is tailored to the pigeon's needs throughout the different seasons. This makes it very easy for me as a pigeon enthusiast.

The Plus mixtures are the richest pigeon feeds on the market, thanks to the Plus grain. Pigeons are healthy and can perform better without the need for many supplements or complicated schedules. Our pigeons are raced weekly on flights of 400 to 500 km, and they had enough strength and energy at both the start and the end of the season.

The Plus feeds are enriched pigeon feeds with additives in the ideal ratio. This makes feeding very easy. We also noticed that digestion and droppings were optimal, thanks to the added butyric acid, probiotics, and digestive enzymes. Additionally, the recovery period after the flight went smoothly, as the proteins and amino acids from the extruded pellets are absorbed very quickly by the pigeon's body.
