Kinematic analysis quantifies gait abnormalities associated with lameness in broiler chickens and identifies evolutionary gait differences.

This is the first time that gait characteristics of broiler (meat) chickens have been compared with here their progenitor, jungle fowl, and the first kinematic study to report a link between broiler gait parameters and defined lameness scores.A commercial motion-capturing system recorded three-dimensional temporospatial information during walking.T
