At Fort Sutter Racing Pigeon Club, we often receive questions about how experienced lofts manage the health of their pigeons, particularly when it comes to the use of medications. Recently, we had the opportunity to sit down with Hugo Carranza of Carranza Loft, a nationally recognized champion, to discuss his approach to pigeon health and whether he relies on medication in his loft.
FSRPC: Hugo, one of the most common questions we get is whether top lofts medicate their pigeons regularly. What’s your approach at Carranza Loft?
Hugo Carranza: I'm not a big fan of medication. If the birds are healthy and showing no signs of illness, I avoid using medication altogether. I believe that good health starts with strong foundations, and if we can maintain that, there’s often no need to intervene with medicines.
FSRPC: During the racing season, are there specific health issues you watch out for?
FSRPC: What steps do you take to minimize the need for medication?
FSRPC: You mentioned gut health. How do you manage that at Carranza Loft?
FSRPC: Young Bird Disease (YBD) is a big concern for many breeders. How do you handle it?
FSRPC: When you do decide to medicate, how do you ensure you’re doing it correctly?
FSRPC: Thank you, Hugo, for sharing your insights with us. It’s clear that Carranza Loft’s success is built on a deep understanding of pigeon health and a thoughtful approach to managing it.
Hugo Carranza: Thank you. It’s always a pleasure to share what we’ve learned, and I hope it helps others in their journey with pigeons.
At Fort Sutter Racing Pigeon Club, we believe in sharing knowledge from the best in the field. Carranza Loft’s careful approach to pigeon health is a testament to the fact that success in racing is about much more than just the races themselves, it's about the day to day care and attention that keeps the birds in peak condition.
