Functions of Vitamin B Complex for Pigeons
📌 Vitamin B complex is vital for pigeons requiring extra energy (racing, tumbling, etc.) as it helps process energy from fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.
📌 It aids in muscle recovery by providing necessary energy support after training or exertion.
📌 B complex also supports the nervous system health, leading to faster responsiveness between the brain and organs.

Administration and Dosage
📌 Administration methods are flexible: mixing with drinking water, direct oral feeding (gavage), or syringe feeding, depending on owner preference.
📌 The recommended dosage is approximately 2 to 3 mg per bird; if a tablet is 10 mg, it should be divided among three birds.
📌 Avoid syringe feeding if possible, as it may cause discomfort that could hinder performance during training or competition.

Optimal Timing for B Complex Administration
➡️ The optimal time for administration is on the day of flight (Hari H), ideally at least 3 hours before flying.
➡️ This timing is recommended because Vitamin B is water-soluble; excess amounts are quickly excreted (often causing yellow droppings) if not immediately needed for energy processing.
➡️ Although the host suggests pre-flight timing, administering it at least once per week during rest periods is also recommended for muscle recovery and flexibility.

Combining with Other Supplements
📌 Vitamin B complex is generally not considered "heating" for the birds when administered correctly.
📌 It can be combined with other vitamins, but excessive amounts must be avoided as they burden the liver and kidneys.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ The primary role of B complex is metabolic support, turning fuel sources into usable energy for active pigeons.
➡️ Administering B complex at least 3 hours before flight ensures the bird utilizes the vitamin's energy-conversion effects when needed most.
➡️ Always adhere to the low dosage recommendations (e.g., 2-3 mg) because pigeon body weights (350-500g) do not require large amounts, and overuse burdens the kidneys and liver.
