The game chicken that wins the champion in the game is certainly not an instant result or luck. The result of the champion is obtained from a long process that has been done. Preparation before the match is needed to ensure the fighting chicken is in the best condition, healthy and resilient to do the match.
Important factors in pre-match preparation
Many factors play a role in shaping tough fighting chickens. Factors that play a big role are quality feed and combined with good exercise. This combination can keep fighting chickens active and always in top condition.
Feed is a source of energy and nutrients that must be able to meet the needs of fighting chickens so that their health is maintained and their strength can be increased. Generally hobbyists already have their own choices for the type of feed given. It can also be used as a vitamin or mineral supplement (Mineral Feed Supplement A) into the feed to supplement the nutritional content in the feed. In addition, the content of crude protein in the feed also needs to be considered. Protein will help build and repair muscle tissue so that fighting chickens have greater energy. The recommended content of crude protein in the feed is 16-22%.
In addition to feed, drinking water needs of fighting chickens also need to be met. Always provide fresh and clean drinking water for fighting chickens. Drinking water is needed by fighting chickens to help the digestive process of feed. In addition, in certain conditions such as hot weather, fighting chickens will need more drinking water to restore lost body fluids and regulate their body temperature.
Exercises for fighting chickens can increase muscle strength and develop a variety of fighting styles. Wing muscle exercises can be performed by alternately lifting the right and left wings. The leg muscles can be trained by means of jumping exercises. While the neck muscles are trained by turning the neck to the right and left slowly. In addition, the exercise can be done by moving the fighting chickens to various types of cages.
Pre-Match Preparation Program
Preparation for the fight chicken can start from 21 days before the match and during this program does not mean the fight chicken should always be forced to practice. There are several programs that can be done during the preparation period so that the fighting chicken can reach its maximum potential. The hobbyist may already have their own preparation program that is often done, but the purpose of this preparation is the same, namely preparing the best condition and mentality to compete. Here are some things you can do during pre-match preparation :
- Selection of fighting cocks
Fighting chickens that will compete must be selected with the best physical condition and ready to compete. The criteria for fighting chickens that are ready to compete are to have fresh red skin color, shiny feather color, agile and aggressive chicken movements, and have good stamina with breath that is not easy to breathe. Also choose an opponent who is balanced in both posture and age. Do not bring together young chickens with old chickens/roosters who have experienced molting because of the strength of muscles and Bones will lose.
- Deworming
Anthelmintic (Levamid-K) given at the beginning of the preparation program so that the nutrients from the feed can be absorbed optimally.
- Do physical exercise
When starting the preparatory program, exercises can be started one day after deworming. The exercises performed are aimed at increasing muscle strength and breath. Umbar Cage is wide enough to be a must for fighting chickens that are being trained. The thing that should not be forgotten is to give time to rest after physical training.
- Trial of adu tarung (abar/gebrak)
Abar/gebrak training is a form of mental training for fighting chickens with the aim of increasing the emotions and courage of chickens. In abar /gebrak training, you should pay attention to the age and size of the opponent's chicken. The frequency of training can be adjusted to the condition of the chicken, for example, 1-2 times a week. This exercise can be done in the morning with one round for 1-2 minutes (no need to chicken to wrestle). To improve the mental chicken fight can also be given exercise with a weaker chicken/untulan and let the chicken untulan to lose. If untulan to lose the fight chicken trained will increase mentally.
- Supplementary feeding
Additional feed can be given three days before the match with the aim of adding as much energy source as possible to increase the strength of the fighting chicken. Generally, the feed given is feed with high carbohydrate content such as corn.
- Supplement administration
Daily supplements need to be given to maintain stamina and health of fighting chickens. Give Super Stamina every day before training during the preparatory period. In addition, supplements also need to be given at the time of the game. Supplements with vitamin and mineral content such as Supertop New can produce excellent fighting chicken body condition when competing.
- Rest before the match
Fighting chickens need a day's rest before competing. Do not do physical exercise (umbar) or endurance training the day before a match. This is intended so that the next day the fighting chicken remains in excellent condition and not exhausted.
Prudence in comparing and choosing opponents and well-done preparation will form a tough fighting chicken so that it is in its best condition. As a result, when the game is played, the chances of winning will increase.
