I would like to find out what are the causes of stunted growth in broiler chickens? How can this be controlled in a flock once it happens, what are the remedial measures to save the flock?

runting and stunting syndrome has many causes which are poor brooding conditions, Viral diseases which cause enteric inflammation which cause poor absorption of feed .Stressing conditions also cause stunted growth. Biosecurity especially cleaning of fowl runs and reseting after each batch for 10 to 15 days will reduce this condition
