The primary reason birds become lame during production is due to Bacterial Chondronecrosis with Osteomyelitis (BCO), formerly known as femoral head necrosis. This condition involves necrotic degeneration and bacterial infection within the proximal heads of the femur and tibia, leading to lameness. Other factors like nutritional imbalances, poor management, and infectious diseases also contribute to lameness in poultry.

The main reason birds become lame during production is often related to skeletal and muscular issues, which can be caused by rapid growth rates, poor nutrition, or inadequate housing conditions. Other factors, such as environmental stressors, injuries, and infectious diseases, can also contribute to lameness. Addressing these issues through proper management and care is essential for maintaining bird health and productivity.
