Management and breeding of lotan pigeon is abnormal and its maintenance is very important due to its high level of aggressiveness. Pairs fight for incubation and after hatching they can be very dangerous. Lotans have abnormal flight, so it’s better to rear in semi-intensive system. Maintain special care in egg laying, incubation and hatching up to 21-30 days of squab. During breeding provide less calorie added feed for avoiding next early heat period. After egg laying parents should be separated because if they see to each other due to males excess cooing the female becomes aggressive and not sit on eggs. This type of behaviour also found in most fancy pigeons due to close rearing. In Bangladesh lotan pigeons are decreasing day by day so we need to preserve this nice and interesting pigeon.

Key words: Lotan pigeon; Tumbler pigeon; Ground Tumbler of India; Pigeons in India.
