An experiment, involving 1200 broiler chickens, was conducted to evaluate the effects of stocking density (providing either 840, 720, 585, or 454 cm2 of floor space per bird) on the incidence of scabby hip syndrome at slaughter (42 days). The incidence of scabby hip syndrome was higher at the higher stocking density. Differences were significant for males and approached significance for females (P less than .05). Body weights (42 days) were lower among birds housed at the higher stocking density levels but other traits were not significantly affected (P greater than .05).
一项涉及1200只肉鸡的实验开展，以评估饲养密度（每只鸡提供840、720、585或454平方厘米的地面空间）对屠宰时（42日龄）结痂性髋部综合征发病率的影响。饲养密度较高时，结痂性髋部综合征的发病率较高。公禽的差异显著，母禽的差异接近显著水平（P小于0.05）。饲养密度较高水平下的鸡在42日龄时体重较低，但其他性状未受到显著影响（P大于0.05）。
