Tibia related-parameters of broiler chickens. (A) Standard for the measurement of tibia length, TUD (Upper 1/2 diameter of the tibia), TMD (tibia mid-diameter), and TLD (Lower 1/2 diameter of the tibia). TMD (tibia mean diameter) comes from the average of the TUD, TMD, and TLD. (B–F) The tibia weight, tibia length, tibia mean diameter (TMD), tibia growth plate, and tibia growth plate index were recorded and compared between the CON and TD groups from 7-, 11-, and 15-day-old broiler chickens. A statistical difference of p-value less than 0.05; data represent means ± SD, two-tailed unpaired Student’s t-test. N = 18. (G) Morphological observation of the tibial growth plate in the CON and TD groups from 7-, 11-, and 15-day-old broiler chickens. The black arrows indicate TD lesion. (H) Sankey diagram depicting tibia related-parameters by test point in the CON and TD groups of broiler chickens.
