ARANGUREN, NEWTON CALAB ON. "THE INFLUENCE OF AGE, BLOODLINES, AND MORPHOMETRICS ON THE FIGHTING PERFORMANCE OF CONDITIONED FIGHTING COCKS FROM SELECTED GAMEFOWL FARMS IN CAVITE" Undergraduate Thesis. Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2009. Adviser: Alvin-William A. Alvarez, DVM.
The study was conducted to determine the influence of age, bloodlines, weight and morphometrics of fighting cocks (Gallus gallus domesticus, Linnaeus, 1758) on fighting performance. Data was collected from 51 cocks from five selected semi commercial farms in Alfonso, Dasmarifias and Silang, Cavite. Weight and age of each cock was determined based on records and the bloodlines were also noted. Height, weight, age, leg length, tail feather length, spur length, shoulder girth, body girth, and wingspan were measured systematically with the use of ruler and tape measure.
The common bloodlines for the farms in the study were Sweater Roundhead (9 birds), Lemon (8 birds), Sweater (6 birds) and Roundhead (5 birds). The fighting performance was not significantly correlated with the bloodlines nor significantly different between bloodlines. However, it was observed that all bloodlines had 50% and above winning percentage and the overall average winning percentage was 76.47%.
The gamefowls used in study averaged 27.08 months of age and weighed an average of 2.85 kg.
Average measurements were 25.25 cm. leg length, 85.92 cm. wingspan, 47.25 cm. tail length, 47.95 cm. height, 18.65 cm. shoulder girth and 46.83 cm. body girth. The winning gamefowis averaged 27.10 (±8.96) months in age, 2.08 (±0.15) kg. in weight, 25.32 (±2.23) cm. in leg length, 85.67 (±8.17) cm. in wingspan, 46.82 (±8.16) cm. in tail length, 46.76 (±7.72) cm in height, 18.44 (±2.30) cm in shoulder girth, and 46.81 (±2.30) cm in body girth while the losing cocks' were: 27.00 (±8.84) months in age, 2.07 (±0.13) kg. in weight, 25.04 (±1.47) cm. in leg length, 86.75 (±10.75) cm. in wingspan, 48.63 (±6.09) cm. in tail length, 47.42 (±2.64) cm in height, 19.33 (+2.61) cm in shoulder girth, and 46.90 (±3.05) cm in body girth. However, z- test revealed no significant difference in these variables between winning and losing cocks. Pearson Moment Coefficient of Correlation likewise showed that they were not correlated with fighting performance.
