Enemy in the Feed


What are we feeding our game fowl? How does it affect the performance of our fighting cocks?

The contamination of feedstuffs with mycotoxins poses a serious threat to the health and productivity of your game fowl. (Solution: Click here.)

Mycotoxicoses are caused by mycotoxin ingestion, inhalation or skin-contact. The effects of mycotoxicoses in your game fowl are diverse, varying from immune suppression to death in severe cases, depending on toxin-related (type of mycotoxin consumed, level and duration of intake), animal-related (species, sex, age, breed, general health, immune status, nutritional standing) and environmental (farm management, hygiene, temperature) factors. What we do not know about the effects of mycotoxins:

Immunosuppression: when one or more functions of the immune system are suppressed, resulting in an impaired resistance to infectious agents.

Hematopoietic Effects: hematopoiesis refers to the production of all types of bloods cells from the primitive cells (stem cells) in the bone marrow. The dysfunction of hematopoiesis leads firstly to the decrease of production of neutrophils (white cells that help the cell to kill and digest microorganisms engulfed by phagocytosis), thus perturbing the gamefowl's immune system and subsequently to the decrease of red blood cells, leading to anemia.

Hepatotoxic Effects: hepatotoxicity refers to liver damage caused by toxic substances.

Nephrotoxic Effects: nephrotoxicity refers to kidney damage caused by toxic substances. Nephropathy is the term used to describe kidney inflammation.

Reproductive Effects: involve all the negative impacts in the reproductive system and in reproduction.

Dermal Effects: Dermal toxicity involves all the damage caused to the skin by toxic substances.

Gastro-intestinal Effects: involve all the effects which are caused in the gastro-intestinal tract.

Performance Effects: involve the changes in performance that can be detected by lower daily weight gain, poor feed conversion rates, lower egg production and decreased feed intake

What will be the standards

of the fighting rooster

of the future?

 

The Peruvian is getting popular in the Philippines. It is a different kind of rooster. It is much bigger, much taller, much stronger, although not necessarily better than the American Game fowl.

 

Definitely the Peruvian game fowl will change the standards of the future. In some instances it will tremendously improve the present bloodlines. On the other hand it could also ruin many good bloodlines of today.

 

The Peruvian has a couple of good traits vital to winning Long Knife fights. But it also has more bad traits. Finding out which are good and which are bad is the challenge.

 

We think just enough Peruvian blood is good. Too much Peruvian blood is bad.

 

We are trying to balance it out. Check out the PERUBLIZ.
