“Kurt & Raf Platteeuw, Rumbeke”
WINNERS OF THE MOST TOP 100 NATIONAL POSITIONS
IN BELGIUM 2018 OVER 3 RACES
18 top 100 National positions (average 20,400 birds)
6 top 5 Provincial positions (average 4,000 birds)

The results absolutely speak for themselves. These are not Club races, these are not Provincial races … these are Nationals … the entire country is competing (look at the number of birds sent!) … and Kurt is at the top on every one! As fanciers, we know exactly the high levels of motivation and dedication which are required to produce this quality of results. Fortunately, Kurt and his father are ready for the challenge … and 2018 looks like another incredible year for them.
Racing cocks and hens, from 430 – 615 km, using Vanrobaeys Platteeuw Special No. 523 – feeding as much as they like, but always taking away after five minutes. For longer races, he will add 1 tsp per pigeon Extra Small Maize No. 198 for 2 days before basketing and the day of basketing. This, together with the Platteeuw Yellow Drops, Platteeuw Yellow Crystals and Platteeuw Eye Drops have helped create a winning formula.
