Forty gamecocks aficionados and forty gamecocks from upland and lowland towns of Cavite were used to determine the incidence of winning by using stimulant in their gamecocks. Most of the gamecock owners were farmers, government and private employees with three to twenty years of cockfighting experience. Different improved breeds and strains and color of gamecocks were observed in actual fight in the cockpit arena. Results showed that most of the surveyed gamecocks were provided with sufficient training, adequate nutrition, and care.. Physical performance was boostered in the form of drug stimulants. The twenty three gamecock users of vitamins, feed supplements, stimulants in the form of medicine or combination of the three gave sixty-one per-cent and thirty-nine percent winning and loosing incidence, respectively. Higher chances of winning could be accounted to the influence of proper training, nutrition and influence of stimulants in the form of medicine, on the physical stamina and performance of the working bird. However, improved breed/strain used contributed to winning. In the non-user of stimulant group of gamecocks a thirty-five percent winning and sixty-five percent losing
out of seventeen gamecocks resulted. This low chances of winning could be attributed to deficiency in vitamins, feed supplements and stimulants in the form of medicine, since their opponents received all of these requirements of nutrients, vitamins, stimulants and adequate training. To avoid matching cook with doped one, ignorance on the use of right combination, dosage, and frequency of administration of stimulants, vitamins, feed supple-ments, or its combinations, the writer recommends that gamecock owners should read brochures concerning the use of these boosters to cock performance and consult expe-rienced and technical men on gamecock raising and cock-fighting techniques.
