Pathological and microbiological investigations into cases of bacterial chondronecrosis and osteomyelitis in broiler poultry [PDF]

open access: yesAvian Pathology, 2017
Bacterial chondronecrosis and osteomyelitis (BCO) is increasingly recognized as a major cause of lameness in commercial broilers chickens worldwide, but the pathogenesis of the condition is incompletely understood. This was a longitudinal study of 20 commercial broiler farms in Victoria, Australia, to investigate the aetiology and pathology of BCO ...

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

open access: yesPoultry 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 ...

Bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis and lameness in broilers: a review

open access: yesPoultry Science, 2016
This review focuses on a specific cause of lameness known as bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis (BCO) in broilers. Rapid increases in body weight impose excessive torque and shear stress on structurally immature epiphyseal and physeal cartilage, primarily in the proximal femora, proximal tibiae, and flexible thoracic vertebrae.
