Hi all, I´m working in a poultry farm including both broiler and layers. Lately, we have observed lameness in broiler chickens between age of 2 weeks up to 3 weeks with a prevalence of 3% with higher prevalence in customer level, what do you think about the causes of this lameness?

important things to consider 1, body frame development 2, uniformity 3, light stimulation and intensity 4,nutrition mainly Ca balance and the amount of fibers including in the feed the above described are the main cause of prolapse if any deviation happened.

in our farm prolapse was the highest causes of mortality but after we change our Ca(Supplement with raw calcium carbonate in feeder) sources the problem was reduced then can you see your Ca source?

Thanks, all But bear in mind that the lameness was only happened in broiler after they feeding in the same feed with layer( for experiment only) then the broilers show lameness but not in layers, have any experiences happen related to ours.

hi all i have one big concern on using of formalin for egg fumigation and this is danger for the persons working with egg fumigation so can you advice me on using other than formalin. our company is interested in importing from any country available? Thanks Dr. Fikre
