Prevalence of osteochondral lesions in the fetlock and hock joints of Standardbred horses that survived bacterial infection before 6 months of age

BMC Veterinary Research, 2018
Background Young Standardbred horses frequently develop fragments in joints. Some fragments represent osteochondrosis; others are considered developmental, but it is uncertain whether they result from preceding osteochondrosis.

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

Avian 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 ...

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.

Closure of the neuro‐central synchondrosis and other physes in foal cervical spines

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 57, Issue 1, Page 217-231, January 2025.
Abstract Background The neuro‐central synchondrosis (NCS) is a physis responsible for the growth of the dorsal third of the vertebral body and neural arches. When the NCS of pigs is tethered to model scoliosis, stenosis also ensues. It is necessary to describe the NCS for future evaluation of its potential role in equine spinal cord compression and ...

Bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis and lameness in broilers: a review

Poultry 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.

Ultrasonographic assessment of equine metacarpal cartilage thickness is more accurate than computed tomographic arthrography

Veterinary Radiology &Ultrasound, Volume 66, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Articular cartilage can be directly imaged using ultrasonography. The fetlock is a common site of osteochondrosis, with the sagittal ridge of the third metacarpal bone most commonly affected. In osteochondrosis, cartilage thickening may be an initial finding.

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.

Epiphyseal cartilage vascular architecture at the distal humeral osteochondritis dissecans predilection site in juvenile pigs

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, Volume 42, Issue 4, Page 737-744, April 2024.
Abstract Failure of endochondral ossification due to interruption of the vascular supply to the epiphyseal cartilage is a critical step in the development of osteochondritis dissecans (OCD). Herein we describe the vascular architecture of the distal humeral epiphyseal cartilage in pigs and identify characteristic features that have been associated with

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 ...

Shapes of cervical articular process joints and association with histological evidence of osteochondrosis in Warmblood foals: A post‐mortem study

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 56, Issue 1, Page 110-120, January 2024.
Abstract Background Osteochondrosis dissecans (OCD) of articular process joints (APJs) is involved in cervical vertebral compressive myelopathy (CVM). Biomechanical forces, important in development of OCD, depend on joint conformation. Oval and flat APJ surfaces are considered normal.
