Pododermatitis in broiler chickens - Leg health

The aim of this project was to study the macroscopic changes in pododermatitis in broiler chickens, the sanitary condition of the legs and the severity of pathological lesions in the species. Two hundred and ninety-two (292) broiler legs from the kchida-Batna slaughterhouse were studied. These legs were classified according to macroscopic changes and lesions in six degrees, ranging from "nil" lesions to "severe" lesions (nil, low, medium, severe and severe.) According to this study, it was found that the incidence rate is low, low pododermatitis reflects the well-being of the animals and therefore the smooth running of rearing conditions in many areas (environmental management, nutrition ...).
