Prevalence of leg weakness in broiler chickens and its relationship with genotype.

The Veterinary record - 29 Aug 1992

Kestin S C, Knowles T G, Tinch A E, Gregory N G

Abstract excerpt

A method for measuring the prevalence of leg weakness by assessing the walking ability of broilers was developed. Walking ability was divided into six categories, from completely normal to immobile. The method was found to give consistent results when performed by the same people. In a survey of commercial, intensively reared broilers, 90 per cent had a detectable gait abnormality and 26 per cent suffered an...
