The Madurese take grat pride in their race bulls. They are reared specifically and it costs them lot of money. They are powerful big animals. They are fed the leaves of corn, beans and soybean trees and good grass. They are also fed the mixer of traditional spices like crushed ginger, pepper, chili, honey, beer and tens even hundreds of eggs. The mixture is later forced into the mouth of the bulls with using a bamboo lath. A owner gives a bull up to 50 eggs a day!!! To make the bulls strong and health the bullowners sometimes also massage them by way of treading their backs, train every weekly and at times lulled to sleep especially when the racing day is approaching.
