Different commercial broiler crosses have different susceptibilities to leg weakness.

Poultry science - 1 Aug 1999

Kestin S C, Su G, Sørensen P

Abstract excerpt

A trial was conducted to investigate the susceptibility of different genotypes of broilers to leg weakness. Four crosses of commercial broiler lines were assessed. Birds were reared on commercial diets at commercial stocking densities. Indices of leg weakness examined included: walking ability, tibial dyschondroplasia (TD), foot pad burn, hock burn, and angulation of the hock joint. Body weight and feed...
