Spirochaetosis in broilers [PDF]
One-day-old broilers were inoculated with spirochaetes (isolate 1380); the inocula consisting either of spirochaetes derived from plate culture or from intestinal homogenates of previously infected birds. After 13 to 15, and 21 days after inoculation growth was depressed, serum concentrations of protein lipid, carotenoids and bilirubin were decreased ...

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
