The relationship between the severity of footpad dermatitis (FPD) and growth performance parameters (live weight, condemnation rate, leg meat yield and breast meat yield) was investigated in a total of 63 million broiler chickens that were processed over a period of 1,053 days between 2008 and 2012 at a full-scale processing plant in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. FPD scores and carcass data were summarized daily and analyzed to determine their correlations. It was found that FPD severity was positively correlated with the condemnation rate and negatively correlated with the live weight and leg meat yield. These results indicate that controlling FPD may play an important role in reducing condemnations while improving live weight and leg meat yields.
2008年至2012年期间，在日本鹿儿岛县一家大型加工厂对总计6300万只肉鸡进行了为期1053天的加工处理，研究了脚垫皮炎（FPD）的严重程度与生长性能参数（活重、胴体废弃率、腿肉产量和胸肉产量）之间的关系。每天汇总FPD评分和胴体数据并进行分析，以确定它们之间的相关性。结果发现，FPD严重程度与胴体废弃率呈正相关，与活重和腿肉产量呈负相关。这些结果表明，控制FPD可能在减少胴体废弃的同时提高活重和腿肉产量方面发挥重要作用。
