Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess the suitability of a dielectric measurement to evaluate the prevalence and severity of foot pad dermatitis (FPD) in broiler chickens. 2. The study focussed on surveying the occurrence of FPD during the growing period of one broiler chicken flock. A scoring system consisting of 5 categories was used to assess the prevalence and severity of FPD macroscopically. Additionally, the dielectric constant (DC) of both foot pads of 50 chickens was measured in a triple iteration with the MoistureMeter D (Delfin Technologies, Kuopio, Finland) on three different dates. 3. On all measurement days, DC and FPD score were negatively correlated. The severity of FPD increased during the growing period, and severe lesions occurred at an early stage. 4. Further research is necessary to develop an effective early warning system for FPD in poultry houses. However, the non-invasive measurement of DC provides a reliable method for the objective assessment of occurrence and severity of FPD.

摘要

本研究旨在评估介电测量在评估肉鸡脚垫皮炎（FPD）流行率和严重程度中的适用性。
该研究集中于在一个肉鸡群的生长期间调查 FPD 的发生情况。使用包含 5 个类别的评分系统对 FPD 的流行率和严重程度进行宏观评估。此外，使用 MoistureMeter D（芬兰于韦斯屈莱的 Delfin Technologies）在三个不同日期对 50 只鸡的两个脚垫进行了三次迭代的介电常数（DC）测量。
在所有测量日，DC 和 FPD 评分呈负相关。FPD 的严重程度在生长期间增加，并且严重病变发生在早期。
有必要进一步研究，以开发家禽舍中 FPD 的有效预警系统。然而，DC 的非侵入性测量为 FPD 的发生和严重程度的客观评估提供了可靠的方法。
