Histological and histochemical analysis compares bone growth in chickens with leg weakness syndrome, indicating no significant differences.

Key Points

This research aims to investigate potential abnormalities in the ossification of lumbo-sacral vertebrae and tibiotarsi in chickens with leg weakness syndrome compared to healthy controls.
Examined histologically and histochemically lumbo-sacral vertebrae and tibiotarsi from affected and control chickens.
Evaluated the ossification patterns and presence of glycogen in bone cells.
Compared staining reactions associated with sulfation and polymerization of ground substance.
No significant histological differences were found between the control and affected chickens.
Both groups exhibited advanced endochondral ossification patterns.
Glycogen presence was noted in various bone cell types, with no noteworthy distinctions in distribution.
