1. This study evaluated the effectiveness of different types acidifiers on reproductive performance, body weight loss and plasma biochemical indices breeding pigeons as well growth carcass characteristics, meat quality squabs.2. In a 45 d trial, 144 pairs European white Mimas were selected randomly divided into three experimental groups. Three groups fed plain pigeon grit (NC), supplemented with 5% single acidifier (SAG) combined (CAG).3. Supplementing SAG CAG significantly increased gain in male from 1-12 incubation. However, had no significant effect feed intake during incubation, but total lactation period. Breeder higher egg-laying rate at 40 d. addition, feeding slaughter squabs, reduced diameter pectoral muscle fibres. Biochemical showed that improved metabolism liver function breeder squabs.4. conclusion, supplementing lactation, protected function, enhanced performance promoted development squabs.

Abstract This study aims to investigate pigeon behavior across various stages of the breeding period and document their behavioral frequencies contribute theoretical foundation for management. The experiment involved ten pairs pigeons in incubation period, nine parent within first days nurturing with chicks above days. direct observation method records behaviors from 8:22 22:00 daily. Our results revealed that female was primarily responsible during followed by male pigeons. average duration 7.94 hours, concentrated between − 13:00 20:00–22:00. 4.05 mainly occurring 13:00–20:00. Pigeon feed intake frequency nursing exceeded both increased offspring age. During feeding peaked at 10:00, 13:00–14:00, 19:00–21:00; drinking 13:00–14:00 20:00–21:00, being most frequent 13:00–14:00; mating predominantly occurred 17:00–22:00. Artificial affects rhythms pigeons, particularly behaviors.
