Radiological, vascular osteochondrosis occurs in the distal tarsus, and may cause osteoarthritis

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 54, Issue 1, Page 82-96, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Background Osteochondrosis occurs due to failure of the blood supply to growth cartilage. Osteochondrosis lesions have been identified in small tarsal bones and suggested to cause distal tarsal osteoarthritis; however, it has not been determined whether distal tarsal osteochondrosis lesions were the result of vascular failure.

Development of the blood supply to the growth cartilage of the medial femoral condyle of foals

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 53, Issue 1, Page 134-142, January 2021., 2021
Abstract Background Growth cartilage is found in the articular‐epiphyseal cartilage complex (AECC) and the physis. It has a temporary blood supply organised as end arteries. Vascular failure is associated with osteochondrosis, but infection can also obstruct vessels.

Embryo Lethality Assay for Evaluating Virulence of Isolates from Bacterial Chondronecrosis with Osteomyelitis in Broilers [PDF]

, 2021
AbstractWe used an embryo lethality assay (ELA) to assess virulence for different isolates from cases of bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis (BCO) in broilers. ELA has been used to measure virulence and lethal dosage of Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus cecorum.

Chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis in broilers: further defining lameness-inducing models with wire or litter flooring to evaluate protection with organic trace minerals

Poultry Science, 2020
The feed additive Availa-ZMC was investigated for the ability to reduce lameness in broilers using 2 alternative models for inducing lameness. The mixture of organic trace minerals was effective in reducing lameness by 20% in the wire flooring model and ...

A rare case of a patient with PPP syndrome presenting pancreatic pseudocysts, panniculitis, and symptoms of polyarthritis. A radicular cyst of the upper jaw could be another manifestation of the syndrome

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 8, Issue 4, Page 625-629, April 2020., 2020
In rare cases, pancreatic enzymes can enter the bloodstream and cause fat necrosis in the bone and tissue leading to a disorder called pancreatitis, panniculitis, and polyarthritis syndrome. Clinicians should have this syndrome in mind when treating patients with pancreatitis.

Evaluating portable wire-flooring models for inducing bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis in broilers

Poultry Science, 2014
Rearing broilers on flat or sloping wire flooring is an effective method for consistently triggering lameness attributable to bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis (BCO). Portable obstacles known as speed bumps (SB) also consistently trigger modest incidences of BCO when they are installed between feed and water lines in litter flooring ...

The utility of infrared thermography for evaluating lameness attributable to bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis

Poultry Science, 2019
Bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis (BCO) is a leading cause of lameness in broilers. Infrared thermography (IRT) is a noninvasive technique for measuring infrared radiation from an object and can be used to evaluate clinical health. Two replicated studies compared the effect of light intensity on broilers grown on a wire flooring model that ...

Microbiota Analysis of Chickens Raised Under Stressed Conditions

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2020
A substantial progress has been made toward understanding stress-associated gut and extraintestinal microbiota. However, a comprehensive understanding of the extraintestinal microbiota of chickens raised under stressed conditions is lacking.

Genome Analysis of Staphylococcus agnetis, an Agent of Lameness in Broiler Chickens. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Lameness in broiler chickens is a significant animal welfare and financial issue. Lameness can be enhanced by rearing young broilers on wire flooring. We have identified Staphylococcus agnetis as significantly involved in bacterial chondronecrosis with ...

Susceptibility of 4 commercial broiler crosses to lameness attributable to bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis

Poultry Science, 2013
Growing broilers on wire flooring provides an excellent experimental model for exposing susceptibility to lameness attributable to bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis (BCO). Two independent experiments (E1, E2) were designed to compare the susceptibilities of broilers from 4 commercial crosses (W, X, Y, and Z).
