C ommercial poultry is one of the most important segments of livestock sector in Pakistan. It is act-ing as balancing force by keeping check on red meat prices as 31% of the total meat produced in Pakistan is from poultry sector. An investment of approximately 700 billion rupees has been reported in commercial Abstract | Broiler population is one of the most important segments of livestock due to its significant contribution in white meat production. Infectious disease outbreaks adversely influence the production potential and consequently cause economic losses. Epidemiological data regarding magnitude of these disease outbreaks is of fundamental importance for planning of a comprehensive control strategy. With retrospective design, this study was conducted from January 2013 through December 2017 in order to assess the disease burden on broilers reared in different open type poultry houses. Out of total 658 commercial farms with capacity of 4221800 broilers, across Chakwal, a representative sample of 70 farms with capacity of 448000 broilers was randomly selected for collection and analysis of disease data. Five years' data of these randomly selected farms revealed highest (44.64%) crude morbidity during monsoon season followed by 23.92%, 22.12% and 17.49% for winter, spring and post-monsoon seasons respectively. The highest (14.90%) prevalence was recorded for new castle disease followed by infectious bursal disease (11.79%), pullorum disease (11.17%), colibacillosis (8.71%), infectious bronchitis (7.87%), inclusion body hepatitis (7.79%), chronic respiratory disease (7.67%), necrotic enteritis (6.48%), coccidiosis (6.09%), mycotoxicosis 5.43%), fowl cholera (4.74%), infectious coryza (4.41%), fowl typhoid (4.22%), omphalitis (3.71%) and hydropericardium syndrome (0.05%). Maximum share in crude morbidity was contributed by bacterial diseases with highest proportional morbidity of 48.68% followed by viral (40.32%), parasitic (5.80%) and fungal (5.20%) diseases. This epidemiological data represents true picture of study population and is a valuable tool for planning of prevention strategy and research priorities.

“…Fully automated image analysis approaches have numerous potentials for lameness assessment as compared to older methods. Because it is becoming cheaper, an automatic video image approach to assess activity as an indication of lameness in broilers is becoming more common [51]. It is also a noncontact technique, allowing for more frequent data collection during the lives of broiler chicks.…”

First, a brief history of chickens was discussed, followed by an investigation of the term "leg weakness" and what it implies in the broiler industry. Leg weakness is a broad phrase that refers to infective and non-infectious characteristics found in contemporary, fast-growing broilers. Commercially raised modern broilers are prone to foot issues such as lameness, footpad dermatitis, and hock burn. Lameness is a broad word that refers to a variety of injuries in commercial poultry caused by infectious and non-infectious sources. In the poultry business (Broiler, Breeders and Layers), lameness is a major issue. In 2010, the expense of lameness was estimated to be between $80 million and $120 million in the United States. However, it has been established in the literature that lameness is closely linked to weight, growth rate, and activity. In 80 years, the time it takes for a chick to attain a live weight of 1500 g was decreased from 120 days to 30 days. Broiler chicks have had serious difficulties as a result of their rapid growth. Animals with serious issues, for example, have poorer feed efficiency and growth. The value of these animals' carcasses has likewise been reduced. In addition to the welfare issues that have arisen as a result of leg difficulties, the producers have also suffered financial losses. As a result, the initial goal of this study is to evaluate broiler leg deficiencies and offer readers with a brief explanation of the elements that influence this condition. The second goal of this research is to examine commercial poultry lameness and lameness evaluation techniques. Furthermore, the benefits and drawbacks of various approaches are explored. Brief findings and a reference list may be found at the end of this review.

“…High ambient temperature and high relative humidity (RH) or low RH occurring during the hot-humid or dry season have been shown to cause heat stress in broilers [3,4]. The fast growing commercial broiler chickens are particularly susceptible to heat stress to induce metabolic disorder [5,6,7]. In addition, global warming will further accentuate heat stress related problems.…”

Background: Air temperature and humidity are two important climatic elements that affect animal welfare and health. The prevailing hot and humid or dry climate is one of the major constraints for optimum poultry production especially in the tropics and subtropical regions. Many studies have suggested that exposure hot-humid or dry climate is associated with a high risk of metabolic imbalance; however, the underlying metabolic route caused by low or high RH climate is not yet well understood. Therefore, we used a comprehensive UHPLC-Q-TOF/MS-based metabolic profiling of fecal samples to explore the effects of hot-humid and dry on metabolic pathway in broilers.Results: Significant changes in the levels of 36 metabolites were detected. Evidence of changes in gluconeogenesis associated to pyruvate metabolism, galactose metabolism and ABC transporter were observed. In addition, hot-humid and dry stress also affected protein translation process caused by aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis, which may be associated with protein synthesis and hormone secretion disorders. Furthermore, we observed significant changes in primary bile acid biosynthesis and taurine and hypotaurine metabolism, which indicated that fat synthesis was affected. We also observed significant changes in arginine and proline metabolism and histidine metabolism, which were associated with skin vasodilation and blood flow.Conclusions: These results provide biochemical insights into metabolism route of hot-humid or dry climate.
