It starts as a chemical\n\u2013 mechanical challenge, often due to wet litter conditions with high pH levels\nand can later become an infectious challenge. When the footpad becomes damaged,\nit can open a scar, which can then be contaminated with bacteria, leading to\nsecondary infection, triggering an inflammatory response. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s important to manage footpad dermatitis,\nespecially when birds are young, as their immune systems and the keratin layer\non their footpads are not fully developed and it will take longer for the\nlesions to heal. In some cases, the lesions may never fully heal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wet-litter-conditions-cause-footpad-dermatitis-in-poultry\">Wet Litter Conditions Cause Footpad Dermatitis in Poultry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest cause of footpad dermatitis in poultry is ammonia in the litter. Wet litter conditions can increase the production of ammonia, which can create a micro-environment of around 11 pH in direct contact with the feet. Litter is naturally humid, but there are other factors that can increase ammonia production and contribute to footpad dermatitis.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Poultry nutrition programs that are high in protein contribute to an increase in the excretion of nitrogen, which will later become ammonia in the litter. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High sodium diets or high levels of electrolytes can also lead to wet litter and thus higher production of ammonia. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>High stocking densities can contribute to wet litter and increase ammonia too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Other external factors that can cause footpad dermatitis include leaky drinkers or poor ventilation that does not create enough airflow to keep litter dry. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-visual-signs-of-footpad-dermatitis-in-poultry\">Visual Signs of Footpad Dermatitis in Poultry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When footpad dermatitis is severe, birds will\nbe reluctant to move due to the pain. In other cases, you may have to lift the\nbirds and examine their feet. If they have footpad dermatitis, you will see a\nscar resembling a dry, brown and black scab on the skin. Swelling in the feet\nis also common.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The severity of footpad dermatitis can be\ndetermined by using a footpad dermatitis lesion scoring system. Footpad\ndermatitis lesion scoring systems vary throughout the world, but the scale used\nin the United States is a 4-tier system: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>0 \u2013 Normal, no lesion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 \u2013 Mild lesion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 \u2013 Moderate lesion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3 \u2013 Severe lesion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Animal welfare inspections include similar criteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-footpad-dermatitis-affects-wellness-and-performance-in-poultry\">Footpad Dermatitis Affects Wellness and Performance in Poultry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Footpad dermatitis may start with just mild\npain for a bird, but as the lesion becomes more severe and bacteria penetrate\nthe skin and cause secondary infection, the bird\u2019s pain can increase. This will\nlead to birds being reluctant to move, ultimately reducing feed and water\nintake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Research studies show that as the severity of\nfootpad dermatitis increases, the feed conversion rate becomes worse. Birds\nthat are in more pain due to footpad dermatitis \u2014 or dealing with a secondary\ninfection \u2014 will expend more energy and nutrients to fuel an inflammatory\nresponse to the fight the infection and heal the lesion. This leaves fewer\nnutrients and less energy available for the bird to use for growth and\ndevelopment. This condition is also considered an important indicator of\nwelfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-footpad-dermatitis-in-poultry-impacts-chicken-feet-export-industry\">Footpad Dermatitis in Poultry Impacts Chicken Feet Export Industry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the United States, chicken feet are usually\nconsidered a byproduct, but in Asian countries, they are a very valuable\ndelicacy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a chicken foot to be suitable for export,\nit must be completely clean and free of any footpad dermatitis lesions beneath\nthe keratin. Even footpads with just mild or moderate lesions will not be\nacceptable for export. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a bird has previously had footpad\ndermatitis and the lesion has completely healed, their feet may still be\nacceptable for export. Also, footpads that have lesions on the keratin layer,\nbut are clean once that keratin cover has been removed, are okay as well. This\nis why preventing footpad dermatitis is important from an early age and onward.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-performance-trace-minerals-to-manage-footpad-dermatitis\">Performance Trace Minerals to Manage Footpad Dermatitis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Skin cells (keratinocytes) have a high demand\nfor nutrients due to their high turnover rate. Poultry diets normally provide\nadequate levels of vitamin A and biotin, both of which are important for the\nskin. Zinc, a fundamental nutrient for skin integrity and healing, however, is\nfrequently missing since it is not easily absorbed and requires a high-quality\nsource. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Supplementing your poultry nutrition program with 40 ppm of zinc from <a href=\"\/en_na\/product\/zinpro-availa-zn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zinpro<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Availa<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Zn<\/a> can increase keratin production and reduce the impact of footpad dermatitis on your flock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In one study, performance trace minerals\nreduced the severity of footpad dermatitis lesions from an average score of 2.1\nto 0.9 in birds exposed to wet litter. This increased the number of footpad\nacceptable for export by 30%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-proper-litter-management-for-controlling-footpad-dermatitis-in-poultry\">Proper Litter Management for Controlling Footpad Dermatitis in Poultry<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best way to manage footpad dermatitis is\nthrough successful litter management. Pay special attention to the condition of\nyour litter during the first three weeks of your flock\u2019s life as they develop\nkeratin and a resistance to footpad dermatitis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Litter should be clean and dry with a\nthickness of at least 2\u20133 inches to adequately absorb humidity. You should also\nuse a material that is better able to absorb humidity, like hay or wood\nshavings as opposed to rice hulls. Monitor your litter and make sure you are\nreplacing the material when it gets too wet and cannot absorb humidity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be sure your poultry house has adequate\nventilation to maintain dry litter. Also, keep drinkers in good condition and\nmake sure they are not leaking and contributing to wet litter. Flush and clean\nthem thoroughly before a flock comes into the house. Make sure they are all\nsealing properly and that the water pressure is not too high. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zinpro.com\/en_na\/lets-connect\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Contact your Zinpro representative today<\/a> to learn more about supplementing your poultry nutrition program with Availa-Zn.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Footpad dermatitis in poultry is a common problem in the poultry industry and can lead to infections and pain that reduce growth and production.
