Abstract: (62 Views)
Background and aim: Footpad dermatitis (FPD) is a multifactorial condition of inflammation and necrotic lesions on the plantar surface of the footpads of poultry. This study was designed to investigate the prevalence and severity of FPD in broiler flocks of Kazerun and Nurabad city in southwest of Iran.
Materials and Methods: Twenty-nine flocks from eleven farms of broiler chicken farms with flock sizes between 10000 and 22000 were studied in Kazerun and Nurabad city from December 2020 to May 2022 to investigate the prevalence of foot pad dermatitis. The lesions of FPD were scored by macroscopic and microscopic evaluation.
Results: From 4000 chicken inspected in this survey, 897 (%22.42) broilers showed different stages of alterations in the food pad. Type I was detected in 429, Type II was seen in 454 broilers and Type III FPD was detected in 12 broilers.

Results: From 4000 chicken inspected in this survey, 897 (%22.42) broilers showed different stages of alterations in the food pad. Type I was detected in 429, Type II was seen in 454 broilers and Type III FPD was detected in 12 broilers.
Conclusion: In this study, the rate of FPD was relatively low, which could be related to proper management, especially proper bedding management, in the studied beef herds.
