PEANUT OIL (Pigeon Health)

Peanuts are nutrient rich, providing over 30 essential nutrients and phytonutrients.

Peanuts or groundnuts are part of the legume bean family, the seed part of the plant formed in seedpods. Poor storage of peanuts can lead to an infection by the mould fungus Aspergillus flavus, releasing the toxic substance aflatoxin. The aflatoxin-producing moulds exist throughout the peanut growing areas and may produce aflatoxin in peanuts when conditions are favourable for fungal growth. This makes the use of Peanut Oil an advantage over the use of peanuts for pigeons. Peanuts are nutrient rich, providing over 30 essential nutrients and phytonutrients. Peanuts are a good source of niacin, folate, fibre, magnesium, vitamin E, manganese and phosphorus. New research shows peanuts rival the antioxidant content of many fruits. Pigeon Health is able to provide natural oils from one of the leading specialists in seed oil development. The seeds undergo a cold press expellation of the oil which keeps the nutritional value to an optimum level.
