Electron-Beam-Killed Staphylococcus Vaccine Reduced Lameness in Broiler Chickens [PDF]

Vaccines
Broiler chicken lameness caused by bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis (BCO) is presently amongst the most important economic and animal welfare issues faced by the poultry industry, and the estimated economic loss is around USD 150 million. BCO

Effects of early-life [PDF]

Poultry Science
Probiotics have gained attention as alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters in broiler production due to their ability to support gut health, immune function, and disease resistance. Bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis (BCO) is a major cause

Assessing the Impact of Spraying an E. faecium Probiotic at Hatch and Supplementing Feed with a Triple-Strain Bacillus-Based Additive on BCO Lameness Incidence in Broiler Chickens [PDF]

Animals
Bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis (BCO) is a major cause of lameness in broiler chickens. This condition arises when bacteria from the gastrointestinal or aerosol tract migrate to infect bone microfractures, often exacerbated by rapid growth ...

Locomotor Health in Modern Broiler Chickens: Risk Factors, Major Disorders, Assessment Methods, and Implications for Welfare and Production Efficiency [PDF]

Animals
Genetic selection for rapid growth, improved feed efficiency, and increased breast-muscle yield has substantially enhanced broiler production; however, it has also increased the functional demands placed on the locomotor system.

Identifying Dietary Timing of Organic Trace Minerals to Reduce the Incidence of Osteomyelitis Lameness in Broiler Chickens Using the Aerosol Transmission Model [PDF]

Animals
Our prior research demonstrated a 20% to 25% reduction in bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis (BCO) lameness in broilers with organic Zn, Mn, and Cu (Availa® ZMC) supplementation. Expanding on this, we investigated the optimal timing for Availa®

An investigation into blood microbiota and its potential association with Bacterial Chondronecrosis with Osteomyelitis (BCO) in Broilers. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2016
AbstractBacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis (BCO) is a common cause of lameness in commercial broiler chickens worldwide. BCO represents substantial production loss and welfare issues of chickens. The bacterial species or communities underlying BCO pathogenesis still remain to be fully characterized.

Bone Metabolite Profile Differs between Normal and Femur Head Necrosis (FHN/BCO)-Affected Broilers: Implications for Dysregulated Metabolic Cascades in FHN Pathophysiology

Metabolites, 2023
Femur head necrosis (FHN), also known as bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis (BCO), has remained an animal welfare and production concern for modern broilers regardless of efforts to select against it in primary breeder flocks.

Welfare of broilers on farm

EFSA Journal, Volume 21, Issue 2, February 2023., 2023
Abstract This Scientific Opinion considers the welfare of domestic fowl (Gallus gallus) related to the production of meat (broilers) and includes the keeping of day‐old chicks, broiler breeders, and broiler chickens. Currently used husbandry systems in the EU are described. Overall, 19 highly relevant welfare consequences (WCs) were identified based on
