A healthy locomotor system is essential for efficient movement. It must have integrity and be pain-free, so that birds can reach water and feed as easily as possible, and thus achieve the desired level of growth.
The first essential point to consider is the quality of ossification, as the skeleton is the body’s backbone. If the bones of the legs are fragile, they will deform during movement, causing secondary damage to the ligamentary and tendinous systems through overstress, accentuating the painful phenomenon. What’s more, brittle bones are less dense and more easily colonized by bacteria in the bloodstream.
Specific enzymes assemble these different elements. To be active, they need cofactors such as copper, zinc and manganese.
The need for these various elements is very high at a young age. In addition to the above-mentioned zootechnical factors, complementary dietary supplements are essential.
But at what age should they be provided? Synthèse Elevage has updated its advice in line with the strains encountered in the field today.
