Matador Boarding Mix – the smart choice for basketing day

17/04/2026

Basketing day is perhaps the most underestimated moment in preparing for a race. Many fanciers face the same question: what should you feed, and when? A traditional racing mix may seem logical, but when fed just a few hours before basketing, it can cause problems. Pigeons may struggle to process the feed properly and, in some cases, even regurgitate it. This not only leads to a loss of energy, but also disrupts the calm and balance you want them to have going into the basket.

That’s exactly where Matador Boarding Mix makes the difference.

This mix has been specially refined for that critical moment before basketing. Its composition ensures the feed is easy to digest and remains stable in the crop, without being too heavy or passing through too quickly. This helps prevent regurgitation – a known risk when richer racing mixes are fed too close to basketing time.

What makes this mix stand out:

• Optimal crop stability
  The structure and grain selection help the feed stay calmly in the crop without irritation or overload.
• Targeted moisture absorption
  The mix supports high moisture retention where it’s needed, which is essential for proper hydration during transport and the first hours in the basket.
• Light yet functional
  No unnecessary load, but just the right nutritional value to keep pigeons satisfied and comfortable.
• Suitable for young and old pigeons
  Both youngsters and experienced racers benefit from the smooth intake and stable digestion.
• Confidence and control for the fancier
  No more doubt about timing or feed choice – this mix solves a real “headache.”

Where traditional approaches can create uncertainty, Matador Boarding Mix provides reliability at the moment that matters most. It helps pigeons enter the basket calm, hydrated, and in balance – exactly as you want on basketing day.

In short:
a well-thought-out solution for a crucial moment, bringing peace of mind to both pigeon and fancier.
