This collection features four peer-reviewed literature reviews on
bone health in poultry. The first chapter reviews the literature on
genetic mapping of skeletal traits in both broilers and layers,
including both the genetics of skeletal defects and bone quality.
As the chapter shows, linkage mapping and genome-wide association
studies have identified promising candidate genes with potential
for breeding more robust birds. The second chapter focuses on
bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis (BCO), one of the most
common causes of lameness in broilers. The chapter summarizes the
pathogenesis of BCO and reviews the efficacy of probiotics as a
prophylactic treatment. The third chapter discusses bone health in
laying hens. It reviews bone development, keel and other bone
health problems and factors contributing to poor bone health. It
also summarises key strategies for improving bone health, including
breeding, nutrition, rearing practices and housing. The final
chapter assesses the problem of lameness in intensively-reared
broiler flocks. The chapter also discusses skin health in broilers.
It summarises key risk factors as well as ways of monitoring and
reducing the problem, from breeding programmes and enrichment to
sequential feeding regimes.
