Your fowl doesn't show any symptoms of epiphysitis. Epiphysitis, also known as physitis, is a generalized bone disease of young, growing horses that is characterized by the enlargement of the growth plates in long bones such as the tibia, radius, and cannon bones. Proper nutrition and a well-balanced diet recommended by your veterinarian can help prevent epiphysitis in your young foals.
Your fowl shows one common symptom of epiphysitis. Epiphysitis causes an enlargement of the physes (growth plates) at the end of long bones such as the radius, cannon bone, and tibia. This swelling makes the ends of the bones appear as an hourglass. Consult with your veterinarian for a definitive diagnosis. If properly treated, mild cases of epiphysitis normally resolve without lasting damage to the foal’s joints.

Hi! I’m Sreten Filipović. I graduated from the Faculty of Agriculture at the University of Belgrade, with a master's degree in Environmental Protection in Agricultural Systems. I’ve worked as a researcher at Finland's Natural Resources Institute (LUKE) on a project aimed at adapting south-western Finland to drought episodes. I founded a consulting agency in the field of environment and agriculture to help farmers who want to implement the principles of sustainability on their farms. I’m also a founding member of the nonprofit organization Ecogenesis from Belgrade whose main goal is non-formal education on the environment and ecology. In my spare time, I like to write blog posts about sustainability, the environment, animal farming, horticulture, and plant protection. I’ve also published several science-fiction short stories.
