How was the travel year 2022 and what were the special features? 

Overall, it was a very difficult season in 2022. The 7th prize flight in particular gave us a lot of trouble. We were able to start with the 2nd, 3rd and 8th prize, but the course of this 7th distance flight proved to be extremely difficult. Following that, the pigeons just weren't in top form anymore. But as a breeder you always try to come out stronger from such situations and learn from them.

What changes have you made compared to the previous season and what is the conclusion? 

Basically, birds and hens participated in the 2022 trip again. In contrast to the previous season, we raised our young in February and did not show any partners when we placed them. Furthermore, the pigeons were only trained in the morning (once a day). As a conclusion, we can state that we will pair again twice next year (in February and April) and will also show the partners when inserting. When it comes to training, we are switching back to training twice a day – even at higher temperatures.

What are the most important products from Röhnfried for you? 

We try to stick to the Röhnfried concept 365 days a year. For this reason, many products are of great importance to us in our daily supply. These include Rotosal, Immune Booster, BT-AminForte and Carni-Speed.

How do you use these products? 

We start with Carni-Speed ​​about 14 days before the first distance flight - during the season it is used five days a week. A significantly increased training intensity can be observed in the pigeons, especially with regard to endurance and speed. Rotosal and Bt-Amin forte are given when the pigeons arrive in order to achieve rapid regeneration. In addition, the pigeons get it one day before basketing. We give the immune booster three to four days a week over the feed, as it is perfect for drying off and promotes intestinal stability, the immune system and the binding of fungal toxins.

What was an extraordinary success for you in 2022? 

Without a doubt, this was the 1st RV championship with a seven-prize lead and the best adult cock of the RV Krefeld with 13 prizes in 14 races.
