Biomechanical tests: applications and their reliability for the prediction of bone strength in broiler chicken

The poultry industry is considered potent for the economy of any country because chicken production an important food source now-a-days. However, skeletal abnormalities are one major contributing factors to loss. For decades researchers trying make contributions diagnosis these problems effectively and giving suggestions improvement in their deficiencies. Bone structural metabolic disturbances (like tibial dyschondroplasia, osteoporosis osteoarthrosis) common broiler chickens have emerged past few years. Due fast growth high leg body weight ratio bone suffers excessive stress loses strength. Such conditions manifested with a tendency fracture. Understanding quality provides deep information mechanical functional aspects tissues. measurements strength can be performed some methods, like geometrical indices, radiographic or dual-energy X-ray absorptiometric density measurements, ash content assays turnover biomarkers. But biomechanical tests core diagnostic tools that measure health parameters reliable indicators. In this review, overview used test has been given effectiveness such methods discussed using different bones birds. Knowing basic concepts on applied comparing results identify suitable testing may input dialogue between interested assessment at both pathophysiological levels.
