BCO Lameness in Broilers

Innovative Gut Health Strategies to Enhance Welfare and Profitability

BCO lameness remains one of the most costly and persistent challenges in modern broiler production. This comprehensive guide reveals the latest science, field data, and practical strategies to mitigate Bacterial Chondronecrosis with Osteomyelitis (BCO) using innovative, gut‑health–focused approaches.

Perfect for poultry producers, veterinarians, integrators, and nutrition specialists looking for sustainable solutions beyond antibiotics.

What You’ll Learn Inside:

• The science behind BCO: What causes it, how it develops, and why it often goes unnoticed until it's too late.
• The power of gut integrity: How maintaining a strong intestinal barrier reduces bacterial translocation and lowers lameness rates.
• Evidence-based results: Real-world studies showing up to 45% fewer BCO cases and 40% reduced mortality with targeted synbiotic strategies.
• Practical, sustainable interventions: Proven management and nutritional methods to strengthen flocks without relying on antibiotics.
