Lameness and gait assessment of poultry

Lameness in poultry, characterized by impaired mobility or abnormal gait, is a major concern in fast-growing birds such as broilers and turkeys. Intensive genetic selection for rapid body weight gain and increased breast muscle mass can result in disproportionate growth between the muscular and skeletal systems, predisposing birds to locomotor problems. Stephanie Kulbacki, University of Georgia, provides an overview of lameness and ways to assess gait.

Optimal broiler weight gain tied to body temperature, management details

sspiegel0120@gmail.com on November 20, 2023

As most producers know, poultry performance can suffer during periods of high temperature. Modern poultry housing is designed to maintain environmental temperatures within an optimal range, but how does the temperature of individual birds impact their weight gain?

Considerations for cage-free pullet management

Currently, 38.7% of laying hen housing systems in the United States are cage-free and this transition continues to increase. However, little attention has been given to pullet housing systems. In this article, Richard Blatchford, PhD, University of California, Davis, provides important considerations for pullet management.
