Research Interests
Foot pad dermatitis and hock burn in broilers: risk factors, aetiology and welfare consequences.
By enhancing our knowledge of the causation and development of foot pad dermatitis and hock burn, this current work aims to lead to recommendations for management measures to reduce or eliminate these undesirable conditions in commercial broiler flocks. Animal welfare is a growing concern among the general public and the results of this study aim to facilitate informed welfare debate about these conditions and will inform policy and legislative recommendations that promote broiler welfare.
