Nutrition factors are considered to be very important for incidence of  foot-pad dermatitis through the effect on the quality of litter. Objective of  this study was to investigate the effect of the use of two feeding programs  for broilers available on the market and declared in the  nutritional/economical sense as standard and economical, on quality of  litter, incidence of leg dermatitis (foot-pad and hock burns) and production  performance. Trial was carried out on 500 one day old chickens of Hubbard  genotype, in two treatments and five replicates. Chopped straw was used as  litter. During the trial, the mortality and food consumption were monitored,  and at the end of trial the body mass was controlled, as well as the  incidence of foot-pad and hock burns and their severity were evaluated and  quality of litter analyzed. Research results indicate significant effect of  the diets from the aspect of broiler welfare and productivity. Application of  the feeding program declared in the nutritional/economical sense as  economical resulted in higher content of litter moisture, significantly  higher frequency of incidence of the most severe forms of foot-pad dermatitis  and significantly lower broiler performance.
