“…Broilers do not walk much inside the house during the grow-out period, since hunger and thirst are not the primary stimuli for birds to move (Bokkers et al, 2006). On commercial broiler farms, feeders and drinkers are placed close to the birds, and consequently, these birds need to walk less than the indigenous chickens reared in free-range systems (Ganabadi et al, 2009).…”

“…However, this trend might not be the ideal towards bird welfare, as it causes an adverse impact on their locomotion (Kestin et al, 1992;Tickle et al, 2014). Indigenous chicken presented lower muscle conformation and slow bone development (Ganabadi et al, 2009) and, therefore, these birds appear to be sounder than commercial genetic strain broilers.…”

“…The proportion of bone mass contributing to total segment mass is likely small because the muscle to bone ratio is known to be high in commercial broilers (Ganabadi et al, 2009). The increase in leg mass was instead incurred by increases in drumstick and thigh muscle mass.…”
