Bone problems are a major threat in meat-type and breeder poultry globally, raising both welfare and economic concerns. Leg weakness is multifactorial in origin and can be influenced by management, genetics, environment, nutrition and mycotoxins. Various mycotoxins, singly and severally, are known to exert an adverse effect on bone metabolism leading to leg weakness. Leg weakness in poultry as caused by mycotoxins and its alleviation is reviewed.
