  11. Normal gait with no detectable abnormality Slightly uneven gait, difficult to define and identify defect Defect in gait without hindering movement or acceleration Gait defect affecting the ability to move, and accelerate Severe gait defect, moving only when encouraged Incapable of sustained walking

  12. PREVALENCE OF FOOT PAD DERMATITIS IN BROILERS, DK 2002-2005 • Up to 40 points ≈ up to 20% severe lesions • 41-80 points ≈ up to 40% severe lesions • 81-200 points ≈ up to100% severe lesions

  13. OTHER ISSUES

  14. Other issues • Public health • Foodborne diseases (Salmonella, Campylobactor ...) • Pandemies (Avian flu, ...) • Nature protection • ...

  15. CONCLUSION – THE DILEMMA OF BROILER PRODUCTION
