Foot pad dermatitis (FPD), a condition of inflammation and necrotic lesions on the plantar surface of the footpads, is commonly observed in fast-growing broiler chickens and turkeys. FPD negatively affects the welfare of birds, performance indices and the economic profit of poultry meat production. Nutrition is an important factor affecting water intake, excreta moisture and litter quality and, in this way, the occurrence and intensity of FPD in birds. This article reviews and discusses the recent results published in the literature on the effects of nutritional factors on litter quality and FPD severity in broiler chickens and turkeys. Literature data on the efficacy of nutritional methods on the litter quality and FPD occurrence are not consistent. However, the results of several experiments indicate that the optimal level of crude protein, biotin and electrolytes (Na, K) in the diet, as well as feed additives such as feed enzymes hydrolysating non-starch polysaccharides and organic sources of microelements (zinc), may reduce the litter moisture as well as FPD incidence and severity in broiler chickens and turkey.
脚垫皮炎（FPD）是一种发生在脚垫跖面的炎症和坏死性病变，常见于快速生长的肉鸡和火鸡。FPD会对禽类的福利、生产性能指标以及禽肉生产的经济效益产生负面影响。营养是影响水摄入量、排泄物湿度和垫料质量的重要因素，进而影响禽类FPD的发生和严重程度。本文综述并讨论了文献中发表的关于营养因素对肉鸡和火鸡垫料质量及FPD严重程度影响的最新研究结果。关于营养方法对垫料质量和FPD发生效果的文献数据并不一致。然而，多项实验结果表明，日粮中粗蛋白、生物素和电解质（钠、钾）的最佳水平，以及饲料添加剂如水解非淀粉多糖的饲料酶和有机微量元素（锌），可能会降低垫料湿度以及肉鸡和火鸡FPD的发生率和严重程度。
