Nigel Harcourt–Brown BVSc FRCVS takes a specific look at the causes and prevention of metabolic bone disease.
“Metabolic bone disease (MBD) is caused mostly by calcium and/or vitamin D deficiency. However it is complicated nutritionally by vitamin A, protein deficiency and a lack of trace elements as well as behaviour and genetics. Although it is always considered a disease of captive birds it is seen in wild birds” N Harcourt-Brown
This article deals with MBD generically for all avian species. The information is relevant to all birds including Raptors and Owls.
