Abnormal Lipid Profile in Fast-Growing Broilers With Spontaneous Femoral Head Necrosis

Abstract: This study investigated lipid metabolism in broilers with spontaneous femoral head necrosis (FHN) by determining the levels of markers of the blood biochemistry and bone metabolism. The birds were divided into a normal group and FHN group according to the femoral head scores of 3-, 4-, and 5-week-old chickens with FHN, and a comparative study was conducted. The study showed that spontaneous FHN broilers had a lipid metabolism disorder, hyperlipidemia, and an accumulation of lipid droplets in the femur. In addi… Show more

“…The pathology of osteomyelitis is characterized by localized inflammation, bone mineral loss, and structural damage, which share similarities with broiler BCO ( Grbic et al, 2014 ). Furthermore, a recent study on femoral necrosis pathogenicity also reported an abnormal increased in lipid metabolism and decreases in bone formation in a chicken femoral head necrosis disease model ( Fan et al, 2021 ). Therefore, by gathering all the evidence above, we proposed that oxidative stress could potentially be a co-factor involved in chicken bone necrosis.…”

“…As a bone disorder, FHN is characterized by periarticular bone disintegration and cartilage degeneration [ 22 ]. According to our previous study, FHN-affected broilers showed lipid metabolism disorders, increased lipid droplet formation, an imbalance in cartilage homeostasis, reduced extracellular matrix (ECM) formation, and simultaneous apoptosis [ 23 , 24 , 25 ]. Reduced osteogenic and chondrogenic differentiation of BMSCs in FHN-affected broilers and enhanced lipogenic differentiation were observed in the present study ( Figure 1 B).…”

“…It is estimated that approximately 12.5 billion poultry worldwide suffer from various leg injuries each year [ 5 ]. There are several common bone diseases in the poultry industry, including tibial dyschondroplasia (TD), valgus–varus deformity (VVD), femoral head necrosis (FHN), and bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis (BCO) [ 2 , 3 , 6 , 7 , 8 ]. In the UK, around 27% of morbid broilers have dyskinesia, and 3.3% of them cannot move [ 9 ].…”
