Abstract
This study was influenced of strains on footpad dermatitis (FPD) in broilers, by the experiment used of male broiler at 21days of age. Thirty–six thousand chickens were randomly divided into 3 groups. Each group composed of 12,000 heads, and there were allotted to 4 replicates per group; group 1 – 3 used Ross (RS), Arbor Acres (AA) and Cobb (CB), respectively. There were freely accessed to water and feed (ad libitum) and raised on ground floor by used rice husk as a bedding material in Evaporative cooling house. Then 600 birds of each were randomly recorded body weights and score of FPD on a 0 – 4 points scale. The FPD score was recorded at 21, 28, 35, and 42 days of age. The results revealed that the total of average body weight gain and ADG of AA breeds were significantly lower than RS and CB (P<0.01). The average FPD score of CB broiler at 35 and 42 days of age were significantly higher than that other groups (P<0.01). The prevalence rate of FPD in AA, RS and CB broilers had 7,035 vs 7,355 และ 7,765 : 12,000 birds, respectively. The incidence of FPD in CB group had the tendency of higher percentage than those of RS and AA groups (64.71 vs 61.29 and 58.63 percent, respectively) (P>0.05). Moreover, it was found that the older age and higher body weight were positively correlated with the more percentage of FPD and severe FPD lesion scores. The heavier weight of broiler chickens, it causes more pressure on the footpad area than light weight chickens. Thus, it can be resulted that the heavier broiler chickens more increased inflammatory lesion of the footpad.
