    This study describes two broiler skeletal disorders: rickets in young birds and resorptive osteoporosis in older birds. These conditions, along with hyperplastic parathyroid glands, may represent a single progressive syndrome.

    Area of Science:

    • Avian pathology
    • Veterinary medicine
    • Poultry science

    Context:

    • Economically significant skeletal disorders in broilers impact poultry industry productivity.
    • Runting and leg weakness (RLW) and femur lesions are common issues in broiler flocks.
    • Understanding the pathomorphological basis of these disorders is crucial for effective management.

    Purpose:

    • To describe and differentiate the pathomorphological features of two distinct skeletal disorders in broilers.
    • To investigate the potential link between rickets and resorptive osteoporosis in affected birds.
    • To discuss the etiology, pathogenesis, and potential classification of these broiler skeletal diseases.

    Summary:

    • Runting and leg weakness in two-week-old broilers exhibits features of rickets.

  • Femur lesions in six-week-old broilers are characterized by resorptive osteoporosis.
  • Hyperplastic parathyroid glands are a consistent finding in affected birds, suggesting a role in pathogenesis.

    • Impact:

    • Proposes a unified syndrome encompassing rickets and resorptive osteoporosis in broilers.
    • Highlights the importance of considering a sequential development of skeletal pathologies.
    • Provides insights for improved diagnosis and management strategies for broiler skeletal health.
