Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis behavior ayam broiler, kesehatan dada dan kaki ayam broiler, serta membandingkan antar perlakuan lantai atas dan bawah untuk mengidentifikasi adanya pengaruh yang signifikan di Hidayat Farm Klaten, Jawa Tengah. Materi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah DOC ayam pedaging strain cobb sebanyak 1000 ekor (500 ekor di lantai satu dan 500 ekor di lantai dua). Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan kamera untuk merekam behavior dan mengumpulkan data FPD, hock burn, serta breast dirtiness. Perlengkapan pemeliharaan meliputi pemanas (heater), feeder tube, nipple drinker, sekat pembatas, lampu, dan penyemprot desinfektan. Bahan-bahan yang digunakan antara lain pakan, air minum, obat-obatan vitamin, sekam, terpal, dan desinfektan. Pengambilan data FPD, hock burn, dan breast dirtiness dilakukan pada hari ke-35 dengan cara difoto. Data FPD di foto pada bagian telapak, lutut untuk hock burn serta bagian dada untuk breast dirtiness. Sampel ayam berjumlah 25 ekor setiap lantai. Data behavior didapatkan dengan pengamatan melalui rekaman video berdurasi 15 menit di hari ke 7, 14, 21, 28, dan 35 pada pagi pukul 08.00 dan sore pukul 16.00. Parameter yang diamati dari behavior ayam broiler antara lain eating, drinking, foraging, dust bathing, sleeping, preening, dan stretching. Data penelitian FPD, hock burn, dan breast dirtiness dianalisis menggunakan uji non parametrik dengan Uji Mann-Whitney, sedangkan pengamatan behavior dianalisis dengan Independent sample T-test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perbedaan lantai pemeliharaan tidak menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan (P>0,05) pada FPD, hock burn, dan breast dirtiness serta behavior ayam broiler.
