AIDI CONCEPTALWAYS ONE STEP AHEAD THROUGH KNOWLEDGE AND INNOVATION
Eddy Noël has more than 40 years of experience in pigeon racing. He spent several of those years working as a nutrition specialist developing a wide range of high quality, well-balanced feed mixtures and supplements, tailored to modern-day pigeon racing and designed to help your pigeons perform at their absolute best.
Eddy is an authority on nutrition and supplements for racing birds and he has always been eager to share his knowledge, hosting numerous lectures on nutrition, darkening and lightening, getting better at breeding and racing, the young birds’ competition, creating a healthy environment in your loft, etc.
He and Ivan Willockx are racing as the Belgian combination of Team Noël-Willockx. As a former professional football player, Ivan knows a thing or two about top-level sport. He currently works as a pigeon agent, which means he visits fellow fanciers on a regular basis. As such, he is quite familiar with the daily needs of top level pigeon fanciers.
In other words, these are two specialists in their field, and they know what it takes to get
and keep a body in top form, ready to deliver top results. And they have many excellent achievements at home and in other lofts to back this up.
It takes more than just water and bread to deliver a performance these days: races are getting increasingly faster, our pigeons have a busier and more demanding training regimen, and they are basketed for a lot more races as well.
And that is why a healthy and balanced diet is crucially important. Proper nutrition throughout the year does have an impact on your pigeons’ overall health, on their form and their ability to maintain that form, on the intensity and duration of their efforts, on recovery, etc. Nutrition is an important piece of the puzzle when it comes to delivering a great performance. But this can be quite a challenge of course, and one that requires specific guidance.
Only the best is just about good enough, and that is why we want our mixtures to consist of nothing but high quality components. This, combined with 45 years of expertise, elaborate testing and the latest scientific insights, forms the basis for our AIDI concept.
It goes without saying that our athletes’ level of performance and their recovery can be significantly improved with the right eating patterns. Carbohydrates and fats are an indispensable source of fuel while proteins are your pigeons’ building blocks. Vitamins, minerals and trace elements on the other hand offer protection. Finding the best possible balance between the different carbohydrates, proteins and fats for the different distances and conditions is the key to success.
• Before the season, the racing birds get ready for the upcoming races through a modified program.
• During the season we provide our athletes with sufficient fuel week after week.
• After the race we opt for a good quality recovery mixture with additional supplements at regular intervals.
The mixtures of our AIDI concept were designed in such a way that the use of supplements can be reduced to a minimum. Our mixtures are packed with energy and building blocks that are easy to absorb, and that will help maximize fat burning while creating fewer waste products. This allows your pigeons to complete an intense race schedule without loss of fitness and form.
When it comes to delivering a top performance in a specific race, feed supplements can prove particularly useful. They are pretty much indispensable when used alongside a well balanced diet. The idea is to get involved as little as possible but to act efficiently and purposefully, and to anticipate past and/or upcoming circumstances.
A little goes a long way for a pigeon. No matter what product you use, please keep in mind everything has to be processed by the liver inside the pigeon’s small body. The secret is to do the right thing at the right time, and to know when, why and how. You should only use products that address possible deficits in your pigeons’ diet, and products with a proven effect on performance. Making slight adjustments in the lead-up to a demanding competition or over the course of a season will allow your pigeons to start each race in the best possible conditions and the best possible form, time and time again.
If you already have a group of talented and healthy pigeons, a good loft environment, and a decent training regimen with adequate recovery, you can further fine tune your game with the help of our scientifically sound AIDI feed supplements.
This is how to get your pigeons at the start of a race in perfect health, giving them every chance to perform to the best of their abilities.
Best of luck!
AIDI , top quality from Belgium, because only the best is good enough!

AIDI OMEGA PLUS OIL EXTRA is a blend of omega 3 oils to which lecithin is added. Its daily use helps balance the ratio between omega 3 and 6 fatty acids, and this in turns leads to pigeons with significantly better health and fitness. This unique mixture also provides your pigeons with additional energy, which allows them to recover more quickly and to perform better in races.
AIDI OMEGA PLUS OIL EXTRA contains lecithin, which leads to increased and more efficient absorption of fatty acids in the body. This enables pigeons to cover more race kilometers more often. Lecithin is also known to enhance the pigeon’s brain function and orientation.
AIDI OMEGA PLUS OIL EXTRA gives your pigeons tight and smooth plumage.
USER INSTRUCTIONS:
AIDI OMEGA PLUS OIL EXTRA can be poured over the food on a daily basis throughout the year: during moulting or breeding, and especially during the racing season. To be administered once daily, preferably in the evening, mixing 5 ml into 1 kg of feed. AIDI OMEGA PLUS OIL EXTRA will also make it easier for powdered supplements to stick to your pigeons’ feed. Shake well before use.
TIP: Mix the oil into their evening meal in the morning, so that the oil has enough time to get properly soaked up.
AIDI PROTEINE BOOST is a mixture of high quality, animal-derived whey and egg proteins. These proteins have exceptional biological value and they get absorbed by the body very quickly. As such, it helps to quickly rebuild damaged muscle tissue after a strenuous race, it promotes the growth and development of the youngsters in the breeding season and it ensures healthy feather growth in the moulting season.
Additional minerals were added to AIDI PROTEIN BOOST to strengthen the birds’ immune system. This helps keep the pigeons in optimal health and it significantly enhances performance.
USER INSTRUCTIONS:
Add 2 measuring spoons (10 grams) to 600 grams of feed for 20 pigeons. We recommend moistening the feed with AIDI OMEGA OIL EXTRA first. Use 1 to 2 times a week in the moulting and breeding season. Use 1 to 2 times a week in the racing season. Use two to three days in case of sickness or after a vaccination.
AIDI PROBIOTICA PLUS is a highly concentrated prebiotic and probiotic mixture that enhances the pigeon’s natural resistance and immunity. AIDI PROBIOTICA PLUS serves to maintain, strengthen, and restore the pigeon’s gut flora and resilience, making them less prone to disease.
There is a high concentration of lactobacillus in AIDI PROBIOTICA PLUS, which nestles and multiplies itself in the mucus membrane of the small bowels. As such, they promote optimal digestion of nutrients, while suppressing pathogenic bacteria and moulds. This in turn leads to greater vitality, excellent health and soft plumage.
USER INSTRUCTIONS:
3 measuring spoons (15g) per 1kg of feed, moistened with AIDI OMEGA PLUS OIL EXTRA Once a day for three days after an antibiotic treatment or vaccination. 1 day before basketing to improve fitness. 2 x per week during moulting and breeding.
AIDI HEALTH ELIXIR is a tincture of 20 different herbs and plants. To begin with, their medicinal properties help detoxify and cleanse the pigeon’s blood. This in turn promotes the shedding of the fluff feathers during the moult, and it gets your pigeons in top form more quickly.
AIDI HEALTH ELIXIR improves resistance and it enhances the immune system. It also helps clear mucus from the airways, it increases oxygen intake and it stimulates the appetite.
When used several days in a row, AIDI HEALTH ELIXIR gives your pigeons’ chest muscles a pinkish color, and their noses and eyelids will turn nice and white.
USER INSTRUCTIONS:
Add 20ml of AIDI HEALTH ELIXIR to one litre of water or 600g of pigeon feed for 20 pigeons. To prepare for the breeding or moulting season: use 8 to 10 days before pairing or before the start of a race. Racing season: use once or twice a week after a race. Moulting season: to be administered 3 to 4 times a week.
AIDI CARBO BOOST is a scientifically balanced high-grade energy mixture that promotes healthy muscle function. The unique formula of AIDI CARBO BOOST allows the organism to build glycogen more quickly, in turn allowing the pigeons to fly at higher speeds for longer periods of time.
We added antioxidants, vitamins and electrolytes to our AIDI CARBO BOOST, and these will help protect the body cells, increase stress resistance and help regulate the water balance in the body during transport, as well as in training and races.
USER INSTRUCTIONS:
Add 1 measuring cup (10g) to 600g of feed once a day. Start by pouring some AIDI OMEGA PLUS OIL EXTRA over the feed first. Racing Season: one to two days prior to basketing. Use 3 to 5 days in a row to get your pigeons to train harder.
This specific combination of vitamins, amino acids and minerals serves as the perfect fitness tonic. It is particularly suited for getting and keeping your pigeons in excellent fitness throughout the racing season.
AIDI CONDITION BOOSTER activates the metabolism, it improves endurance, it increases oxygen intake and it considerably enhances muscle function. It also combats fatigue and muscle cramps.
AIDI CONDITION BOOSTER leads to excellent fitness and it boosts energy levels and energy reserves, which in turn significantly enhances performance.
AIDI CONDITION BOOSTER works even better when used simultaneously with AIDI CARBO BOOST
For optimal care!
USER INSTRUCTIONS:
10ml per litre of drinking water to be poured over 300g of feed for 20 pigeons. Racing season: the day before basketing. After illness: 2 to 3 days. In case of poor training due to bad fitness: 2 to 5 days together with AIDI CARBO BOOST.
When arriving home from a race, it is crucially important for a pigeon to replenish its energy levels as quickly as possible. And it is equally important to provide the pigeons with all the building blocks that are needed to help rebuild damaged muscle tissue more quickly. It consists first of all of singular and complex sugars or carbohydrates, highly digestible fatty acids and the building blocks of protein.
AIDI RECUP FAST provides the necessary ingredients in the correct ratio to promote quicker recovery and recuperation. AIDI RECUP FAST is a water soluble mixture of quickly and easily digestible energy and recovery sources and other building blocks. AIDI RECUP FAST is your product of choice for faster recovery and recuperation after the race.
USER INSTRUCTIONS:
Provide 4 measuring spoons (20g) per litre of drinking water immediately upon arrival. Due to quality loss from air or light induced oxidation, it is recommended to refresh the mixture after half an hour.
AIDI PRO BACTERIAL helps build up an incredibly strong immune system. It strengthens the position of good bacteria, which results in pigeons that are less susceptible to diseases, are well feathered and are particularly eager to train hard.
AIDI PRO BACTERIAL eliminates waste products and toxins, it improves food digestion and it enhances the absorption of nutrients.
AIDI PRO BACTERIAL is a ferment composed of sugar cane molasses, garlic and red beet juice. It contains many different types of effective micro organisms, both aerobic and anaerobic, photosynthesizing bacteria, organic acids, lactic acid bacteria, yeasts, fungi, pre and probiotics and enzymes.
USER INSTRUCTIONS:
In the breeding, moulting and racing season and the resting period: 10ml per liter of water to be replenished daily, or add 10ml to 600g of feed. Remember to properly aerate tap water, since it contains chlorine, which is detrimental to living micro organisms.
PLEASE NOTE: Over time AIDI PRO BACTERIAL can have a tendency to flake slightly. This is completely normal and has absolutely no impact on quality.

Pigeons are often in for a treat: they occasionally get a handful of sweet seeds or peanuts after a training flight. They are fond of it, and it can be useful tool to condition your birds. “Candy” is not something you would associate with top athletes, unless you turn it into a refined and complimentary mixture. We opted not to include perilla or milk thistle seed in our other mixtures, but our AIDI EXTRA POWER SNOEPMIX is packed with them. By giving each pigeon a small portion after each training flight, we make sure every bird gets the recommended daily intake.
These seeds can also be used as a final treat before basketing: its high fat content then serves as a power boost right before the race.

The goal of our AIDI concept is to strive for the best possible guidance plan. However, the fancier needs to consider that circumstances can change. An elongated stay in the basket, a strong headwind or tailwind, cold or hot temperatures, etc. You have to anticipate and make adjustments if necessary. We tend not to focus as much on the number of kilometres but rather on the number of flying hours.
We make sure that our pigeons get an adequate amount of food, assuming that everything gets eaten. Our mixtures are easy to absorb and digest, which eliminates the risk of your pigeons getting saturated and losing their appetite. Your pigeons will be able to train properly, gradually increasing training duration and intensity. However, a more demanding and more intense training schedule leads to higher energy demands, and a “rationed” diet would only stall their progress. Our approach on the other hand will help maintain a healthy metabolism, which is exactly what your pigeons need in order to reach peak form. And only properly trained pigeons are able to deliver great results.
We provide a double portion of feed on the day of basketing, so that the pigeons can choose what they want to eat. The feed is available to them for the rest of the day, until the moment of basketing. It is perfectly acceptable to give a few extra portions on the day of basketing. Remember that pigeons racing “on an empty stomach” will never make it through the whole season; they would eventually begin to struggle against other birds that are still full of energy. The other birds will be able to maintain speed for longer, without having to drain on their reserves.
We use AIDI HEALTH ELIXIR to help our pigeons make it through the racing season as naturally as possible. Should your vet decide to prescribe any type of medication, please refrain from using our AIDI HEALTH ELIXIR for a week.
AIDI PROBIOTICA PLUS not only promotes a healthy gut flora, it helps boost your pigeons’ overall fitness as well.
AIDI CARBO BOOST helps your pigeons maintain top speed for longer. It can also be used earlier in the breeding season, to increase your pigeons’ training intensity and volume if needed.
After a particularly streneous race, our AIDI CONDITION BOOSTER can be mixed into the water alongside our AIDI RECUP FAST, for even better recovery and to prevent fitness loss.
When administring AIDI OMEGA PLUS OIL without using it as a sticking agent, we recommend mixing it into the feed a few hours in advance. This will allow it to get properly absorbed, making sure the feed can take up enough water in the crop, even with the oil.
AIDI CONDITION PLUS MINERALS are clay based, which has very important detoxifying properties. We recommend having these minerals freely available to your pigeons for about half an hour every day, in a small cup, after their evening meal. This will help cleanse the body and remove waste products.
AIDI CHELATS is a unique, concentrated mixture of vitamins, trace elements and minerals in chelated form, specifically for racing birds. The benefit of chelates is that they get fully absorbed by the body, which means it becomes easier to correct any nutritional deficiencies. Administering adapted nutritional supplements can and will absolutely ensure improved performance at that time. It allows pigeons to perform at maximum power at that time.
All nutrition and caretaking schemes for the breeding and moulting season, as well as detailed racing plans for the sprint, middle distance, one day long distance, overnight long distance, the young birds races and the racing hens can be found on:
