Tibial dyschondroplasia
text:
Tibial dyschondroplasia (TD) is a metabolic disease of young poultry that affects the growth of bone and cartilage. Often occurs in broilers and other poultry which have been bred for fast growth rates. The tibial cartilage does not mature enough to ossify. This leaves the growth plate prone to fracture, infection, and deformed bone development. It is the leading cause of lameness, mortality, and carcass condemnations in commercial poultry.
