    Feeding

    The fancier can recognise a race team that is in a negative energy balance by the following signs:

    no wing flapping in the early morning or after feeding.
    Disinterest in leaving loft or toss basket, lower lid laziness etc.
    The race team in negative energy balance (inadequate energy intake relative to the workload) is susceptible to illness, especially "respiratory" diseases.
