Abstract
Spraying water to produce wet litter increased the severity and incidence of plantar pododermatitis in two commercial strains of fattening turkeys. A clinical syndrome resembling “shaky leg” was also produced. In one experiment breast blisters, scabby hocks and a depression of final body weight were seen.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
