ne key to winning cockfights lies in this organ.
What is this organ that is the
real powerhouse of the
rooster’s physical capability?
Well, If we want our game
cock to perform at his best
come fight day we should
stimulate and protect his
liver. Why? Because, the liver
is a central laboratory of a
chicken's body. It is essential
that this organ is kept in an
excellent condition.
The liver performs many complex functions to maintain homeostasis (harmony among
all the systems of body).
When the liver is affected due
to any reason, efficiency of
the liver comes down in detoxification and metabolic
processes. This, in turn, affects the overall performance
of the bird.
We know that the liver is one
of the busiest organs in the
body. Liver acts as a clearing
house for substances that enter the body. It carries out a
large number of important digestive, metabolic and excretory activities, all of which
have a significant role not
only on the rooster’s health
but also on its fighting capabilities.
Liver is a vital organ involved
in metabolism, storage, secretion, detoxification and
protection. Being the central
organ of metabolism, liver is
always subjected to damages
of various kinds. Liver stimulants and protectants are usually supplemented to support
liver in detoxification and to
improve the structural and
functional integrity of the liver
Fortunatey, there are liver
tonics containing extract of
herbal ingredients that effectively improve liver functions
thus ensuring better feed
utilization, energy production
and gamecock’s overall fighting performance..
A good liver tonic guards the
liver against various toxins,
chemical drugs and toxic effect of the feed contaminants
and other conditions that put
the liver directly or indirectly
at risk. It helps in rapid regeneration of liver tissues and
cells. It stimulates sluggish
liver cells and restores liver
functions. It improves feed
metabolism and utilization.
