A deficiency in vitamin D is the most common cause of rickets, a condition that results in softened, weakened bones, leading to skeletal deformities such as bowed legs.

The primary nutritional deficiency that leads to rickets and increased susceptibility to leg disorders (such as bowing, bending, and weakening) is a vitamin D deficiency

The main deficiency causing rickets and leg disorders is vitamin D, as Bello Bashir mentioned. Without vitamin D, the body cannot absorb calcium or phosphorus even when they are present in the diet, and bone mineralization fails. It is especially critical in fast growing broilers.
