Welfare of broiler chickens [PDF]
Broiler chickens have been selected for their rapid growth rate as well as for high carcass yields, with particular regard to the breast, and reared in intensive systems at high stocking density ranging from 30 to 40 kg live weight/m2. These conditions lead to a worsening of the welfare status of birds. In Europe a specific directive for the protection

Monensin Toxicosis in Broiler Chickens [PDF]
Chickens treated at seven weeks of age with 150, 200, or 250 mg of crystalline monensin sodium/kg body weight had signs of toxicosis, including extreme weakness, anorexia, paralysis and death. Gross lesions included emaciation, generalized congestion, myocardial enlargement and pallor, and hydropericardium.

Experimental Cryptosporidiosis in Broiler Chickens
Seven-day-old conventional broilers were inoculated either orally or intratracheally (IT) with 2.5 X 10(5), 5.0 X 10(5), or 2.0 X 10(6) oocysts of Cryptosporidium baileyi (32 birds for each dosage level per group; 192 birds total). Thirty-two birds served as unninoculated controls.
