The Science of Animal Suffering (2008, background): “The two questions about what improves bird health and what the birds themselves want thus help us to find objective, scientifically based ways of improving chicken welfare on commercial farms (Bessei 2006).”
Optical flow patterns in broiler chicken flocks as automated measures of behaviour and gait (2009, background): “…and Decupere, 2008; Julian, 1998), lameness or difficulty in walking (Kestin et al., 1992; Sanotra et al., 2001; Bradshaw et al., 2002; Knowles et al., 2008) and obesity resulting in the need for feed restriction in the parent birds (Bessei, 2006; D’Eath et al., 2009; Renemam et al., 2007).”
Genetic selection of broilers and welfare consequences: a review (2019, background): “Ascites is primarily caused by blood oxygen de ﬁ ciency, which resulting in pulmonary hypertension, heart failure, and the accumulation of large amounts of ﬂ uid in the abdominal cavity (Bessei 2006; Kalmar, Vanrompay, and Janssens 2013).”
Optical flow, flock behaviour and chicken welfare (2012, methodology): “In the case of broiler chickens, abnormal walking is a key indicator of reduced welfare (Bessei 2006; Renema et al. 2007; Knowles et al. 2008) and is currently measured by the time-consuming method of people ‘gait scoring’ birds by eye (Kestin et al.”
Animal welfare and efficient farming: is conflict inevitable? (2017, background): “Welfare problems in poultry including hock burn and pododermatitis (Bessei 2006) also lead directly to loss of profit, as birds with skin burn marks on their legs fetch less as carcasses and those with ulcerated feet are worth less in the lucrative far-Eastern market for chicken ‘paws’.”
An overview of poultry production in India. (2015, background): “This phenomenal increase in growth rate of broilers resulted in emergence of metabolic disorders such as ascites and sudden death syndrome (Bessei, 2006).”
