Optimum nutrition for battle
Nutrition is the study of metabolism. Metabolism consists of catabolism or how the body breaks food down and anabolism or how the body repairs and creates cells and tissue. Catabolism and anabolism equals metabolism.
Nutritional science also examines how the body responds to food.
What is battle cock nutrition? Gamecock nutrition is poultry nutrition but it is not just plain poultry nutrition. It relates to fighting performance. Yes it deals with vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, supplements and organic substances yet it concerns mostly with the type of nutrient and fluid that will improve the physical fitness of the gamecock. It is far different from the other kinds of poultry nutrition such as those for layers and broilers.
Nonetheless, diets for all types of chickens must be formulated to provide all of the nutrient requirements may be it for optimum growth or maximum production or fighting performance. These are the six classes of nutrients:
Carbohydrates – the major source of energy. Most of the carbohydrate in poultry diets is provided by grains.
Fats – provide energy and essential fatty acids required for some bodily processes.
Proteins – required for the synthesis of body tissue and muscles, physiological molecules such as enzymes and hormones, and for anabolism. Proteins also provide a small amount of energy.
Vitamins – organic chemicals or chemicals containing car-bon which help control body processes and are required in small amounts for general well being.
Minerals - inorganic chemicals or chemicals not containing carbon. Like vitamins, minerals help control body processes and aids well being.
Water. Water is a very important nutrient, moreover for gamecocks.
