Essential Modern Racing Techniques

The various features are interrelated, and the author Malfait also examines to what extent they may be influenced by nutrition, loft quality, training, condition of the plumage etc. The book is based on recent scientific data, but it is written in clear everyday English. The author reports the experiences of successful fanciers by means of individual loft reports.
