“…This is especially relevant to young chicks that may lack the foresight to understand how soiled litter may be detrimental (e.g., in terms of footpad health) or beneficial (e.g., in terms of possible benefits of social homocoprophagy) to their health. Thus, the findings of this research suggest that chickens may be incapable of assessing the long-term consequences of contact with soiled litter [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 16 ], or the potential adverse health effects of pine and spruce bedding [ 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ]. Additionally, the chicks’ early exposure to increasingly soiled shavings during their first 2 weeks of life may have habituated them to soiled litter before the experimental habituation period.…”

“…For instance, moist litter increases the risk of contact dermatitis [ 11 , 12 , 13 ] and increases ammonia production from litter [ 14 , 15 ] that can cause respiratory and eye disease [ 16 ]. However, wood-based bedding material alone can cause adverse health effects, including respiratory disease [ 17 , 18 , 19 ] and dermatitis [ 20 , 21 ] in humans. As well, rodent studies have shown that wood-based beddings from softwoods (e.g., pine and spruce) are strongly cytotoxic, while hardwoods (e.g., aspen) tend to be much less cytotoxic [ 22 ] but not as inert as non-wood beddings like corn-cob [ 23 ].…”

Broiler Chicks’ Motivation for Different Wood Beddings and Amounts of Soiling

In the wild, excreta soiled surroundings can attract predators and spread disease. Yet, farmers rear broiler chicks in large barns with stocking densities that prevent excreta segregation. To measure chicks’ motivation to access unsoiled bedding or soiled litter (collectively, substrates) we used 40 16-day-old broiler chicks who were divided into six two-compartment pens. The ‘home’ compartment (H) contained soiled wood shavings, while the ‘treatment’ compartment (T) contained either aspen wood shavings, pine and spruce wood shavings, soiled pine and spruce wood shavings, ammonia reductant treated soiled pine and spruce wood shavings, or a feed treatment as a gold standard. The barrier separating the compartments had two one-way push-doors that chicks pushed to access a resource. The chicks’ motivation was measured by the average maximum weight pushed to access each resource. The door leading to T weighed 0% (raised), 10%, 20%, or 30% of the chicks’ body weight, and chicks could return to H via a raised (for 0%) or unweighted door. Our findings indicate that chicks worked hardest for feed, but paid a lower, equal price to access all substrates. With increasing door weight, chicks visited less and spent less time with the substrates. Therefore, as chicks themselves do not avoid litter that could have potential negative effects on their well-being, it is important that farmers diligently monitor litter conditions as their primary care-takers.

“…These findings suggest that chickens may decide where they spend time based on the comfort and feel of the substrate. For example, compared to peat moss and sand, many wood shavings contain chemical irritants (55,56) in addition to being physically abrasive. Therefore, it is likely that, when provided with an alternative, birds avoided physically uncomfortable beddings like wood.…”

Floor Substrate Preferences of Chickens: A Meta-Analysis

2020

Environmental enrichment promotes sensory and motor stimulation for species-typical behaviors, which in turn enhance animal well-being. For farmed Galliformes, housing systems often limit enrichment to bedding and litter, that simultaneously act as material for dustbathing and foraging. Therefore, this meta-analysis sought to systematically review and synthesize the substrate preference test literature for Galliformes. Data based on the following four welfare-related behaviors were extracted for analysis: (1) dustbathing, (2) foraging, (3) pecking, and (4) time spent on a given substrate. Literature searches in CAB Direct, Web of Science, and Google Scholar yielded 239 articles, and hand searching yielded an additional five articles. Ten publications that used different chicken strains as test subjects, met the criteria to be included in the systematic review. The effects of bedding type, the number of days birds had access to tested substrates, enclosure area, and substrate area, on the examined behaviors were determined. We found that birds preferred dustbathing in sand and peat moss more than on any other substrates. The bedding type, size of the enclosure, and size of the substrate area affected the amount of time that birds spent on the tested substrates. When provided the choice between bedding materials, birds spent more time on sand or peat moss than on any other substrate or on no substrate. Notably, most studies did not report relevant physical or chemical characteristics of substrate that may influence birds' preferences, such as grain size, moisture content and the level of soiling. Focusing future studies on identifying substrate characteristics that influence preferences can lead to the discovery of new, practical, enriching beddings that can be easily implemented in housing systems for Galliformes.

“…Im finnischen Fachzentrum für Arbeitsmedizin reagierten 118 der zwischen 2002 und 2017 untersuchten Patienten (4,6 %) positiv auf Kolophonium. Die meisten von ihnen waren in der Holzindustrie, als Maschinenschlosser oder Löter oder in der Landwirtschaft tätig [288]. Eine „klassische“ Quelle für Kolophoniumexposition sind Pflaster-Klebstoffe, wie im Fall eines 33-jährigen Fußballprofis, der seine Strümpfe damit fixierte und eine schwere ACD an den Sprunggelenken entwickelte [289].…”

Kontaktallergie (Sensibilisierung) und daraus resultierende allergische Kontaktdermatitis (ACD) sind von erheblicher Tragweite aus Sicht des Gesundheitswesens. Für die vorliegende Übersichtsarbeit hierzu wurden alle passenden Artikel aus dem Zeitraum 2018–2019 per systematischer Suche in Medline und Web of Science<sup>TM</sup> ermittelt; außerdem wurden alle verfügbaren Ausgaben der Fachzeitschriften „Contact Dermatitis“ und „Dermatitis“ manuell durchsucht und so eine frühere, ähnliche Übersichtsarbeit fortgeschrieben und neu fokussiert. Neue Allergene ebenso wie bekannte Allergene, die in neuem Expositionskontext gefunden wurden oder deren Bedeutung in sonstiger Hinsicht neu bewertet wurde, werden in Abschnitten nach Substanzklasse gegliedert beschrieben (z. B. Metalle, Konservierungsmittel, Duftstoffe). Als gemeinsames Ergebnis zahlreicher Untersuchungen fällt sowohl ein Mangel an Informationen über die Produktzusammensetzung auf, z. B. in Bezug auf ein neu beschriebenes Allergen in Leinenturnschuhen (Dimethylthiocarbamylbenzothiazolsulfid), als auch vor allem die mangelnde Kooperativität von Herstellern von Blutzuckermessgeräten bzw. Insulinpumpen. Zu den letztgenannten Geräten hat eine internationale Zusammenarbeit zwischen Dermatologen und Chemikern gezeigt, dass sie bei zahlreichen Diabetikern schwere ACD verursachen, indem sie Isobornylacrylat bzw. N,N’-Dimethylacrylamid freisetzen. Eine verbesserte und vollständige Deklaration der Inhaltsstoffe für Produkte alle Art – und nicht nur, wie wir es derzeit in Europa haben, bei Kosmetika (abgesehen von der vollständigen Auflistung der Duftstoffe) – muss auf die legislative Agenda gesetzt werden.

Occupational allergic contact dermatitis caused by colophonium

Abstract: OACD caused by colophonium is quite common and occurs in a variety of occupations. SDSs provide poor information for exposure assessment. Patch testing with the patient's own materials was often useful in establishing the diagnosis.
