Abstract

Domesticated pigeons, known for their captivating beauty and unique behaviors, have been bred for centuries. This comprehensive review article delves into various aspects of pigeon farming, providing insights into raising, caring for, and feeding these birds. In the past, pigeon rearing was primarily a hobby, but in the present, it has evolved into a profitable economic activity due to the increasing value of pigeons. Nowadays, people are engaged in farming pigeons for economic gain. As a result, pigeon rearers now recognize the importance of understanding the proper markings of fancy pigeons to produce purebred birds. The literature hasn't gone into great detail about the performance of domesticated pigeons. Although the majority of the studies had somewhat needed nutrients, results were rare. Since there are nearly endless alternatives for nutrient requirements levels and periods of feeding, more research is necessary. It is difficult to compare results when there is a lack of standardization. Despite the fact that pigeons are used by humans as experimental animals, ornamental birds, sports birds, and for meat production, little is known about their nutritional needs. More research conducted in more controlled settings is still needed.
