2009 article

Effect of incubation temperatures and chick transportation conditions on bone development and leg health

Oviedo-Rondón, E. O., Wineland, M. J., Small, J., Cutchin, H., McElroy, A., Barri, A., & Martin, S. (2009, November 30). The Journal of Applied Poultry Research, Vol. 18, pp. 671–678.

By: E. Oviedo-Rondón n , M. Wineland n, J. Small n, H. Cutchin n, A. McElroy*, A. Barri*, S. Martin

author keywords: leg health; incubation; chick transportation; bone; broiler chicken
topics (OpenAlex): Animal Nutrition and Physiology; Animal Behavior and Welfare Studies; Livestock and Poultry Management
TL;DR: It is concluded that low early incubationTemperature, high late incubation temperature, and transportation stress can increase the incidence of leg problems in commercial broilers. (via Semantic Scholar)

2009 journal article

Incubation conditions affect leg health in large, high-yield broilers

The Journal of Applied Poultry Research, 18(3), 640–646.

By: E. Oviedo-Rondon n , M. Wineland n, S. Funderburk n, J. Small n, H. Cutchin n & M. Mann n

author keywords: incubation; broiler chicken; leg health; gait score; welfare
topics (OpenAlex): Animal Nutrition and Physiology; Livestock and Poultry Management; Animal Behavior and Welfare Studies
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that proper incubation conditions improve broiler performance, especially in females (1.2%); may reduce leg health problems such as crooked toes; and may even improve locomotion. (via Semantic Scholar)
