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

Assessing the Impact of Spraying an Enterococcus faecium-Based Probiotic on Day-Old Broiler Chicks at Hatch on the Incidence of Bacterial Chondronecrosis with Osteomyelitis Lameness Using a Staphylococcus Challenge Model [PDF]
AnimalsBacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis (BCO) lameness is a bone disease characterized by the translocation of bacteria from the gastrointestinal tract, which colonize microfractures in broiler leg bones caused by rapid animal growth rate and weight

Evidence of Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Bacterial Chondronecrosis With Osteomyelitis–Affected Broilers [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 A leading cause of lameness in modern broilers is bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis (BCO). While it is known that the components of BCO are bacterial infection, necrosis, and inflammation, the mechanism behind BCO etiology is not yet fully ...

Radiologic Findings of Cricoid Chondronecrosis after Intubation in the Setting of COVID-19. [PDF]
LaryngoscopeThis case series examines seven patients diagnosed with cricoid chondronecrosis after intubation in the setting of COVID‐19 and presents a novel “cricoid chondronecrosis computed tomography (CT) grading rubric” to standardize reporting of radiological findings.

Cricoid chondronecrosis: A serious complication of prolonged endotracheal intubation – Case report
Otolaryngology Case Reports, 2023 Introduction and importance: Chondronecrosis is a rare life-threatening complication of endotracheal intubation. Only few cases have been reported in the literature. Here, we present a case report and discuss the diagnosis of the condition, the causative

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

Anatomical and biomechanical traits of broiler chickens across ontogeny. Part II. Body segment inertial properties and muscle architecture of the pelvic limb [PDF]
PeerJ, 2014 In broiler chickens, genetic success for desired production traits is often shadowed by welfare concerns related to musculoskeletal health. Whilst these concerns are clear, a viable solution is still elusive.
