Abstract: CABALUNA, LAUREN EDUARDO. "A SURVEY STUDY ON COCKFIGHTING INJURIES AND INTERVENTIONS PERFORMED IN SELECTED ARENAS IN CAVITE". Undergraduate Thesis. Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2008. Adviser: Eugene M. Principe, DVM, MS The study was conducted to determine the intervention practices performed by cock doctors and common injuries sustained by game cocks (Gallus gallus domesticus, - Linnaeus, 1758) in selected cockpits (Dasmarinas, Gen. Trias, Imus, Indang, and Noveleta) in Cavite and to determine the prevalence of post-fight injuries based on specific body parts, the number of injuries per cock, and the type of injury sustained by fighting cocks in selected cockpits in Cavite. In the study, 15 cock doctors were interviewed, with three representatives for each selected cockpits. The years of experience of the cock doctors range from one to 21 years. Cock doctors can treat four to 14 injured cocks, with an average of seven injured cocks in every cockfighting event. Their means of intervention include antibiotic administration and surgery. They practice a certain degree of asepsis before surgery with the use of povidone iodine or benzalkonium chloride on the skin. The time required to treat post-fight injuries depends on the seventy of lesions, but takes 46 mins on the average. Treatment of mild to moderate case can be completed in 20 mins while difficult cases would take them 60 minutes at the most. A standard cock doctor's fee of 200Php is charged per cock regardless on the severity of injury and treatment made on the injured cocks in the selected cockpits. Forty injured cocks were sampled in the study. Results showed that the common injuries sustained by game cocks in selected cockpits in decreasing order were: laceration (90%), abrasion (47.5%), puncture (20%), swelling (10%), and contusion (5%). The different post-fight injuries among the sampled fighting cocks were commonly located in decreasing order: breast (40%), neck and back (30%), legs (22.5%), wing and foot (20%), abdomen (17.5%), head and inguis (7.5%), and axilla, thigh and vent (5%). Based on the number of injuries inflicted by the traditional tip or regular knife which is commonly used in the five selected arenas in Cavite, the average number of injuries sustained was two. Highest prevalence is two injuries (47.5%), while the lowest is eight injuries (2.5%).
