1. The effects of varying the concentrations of dietary magnesium and chloride on the performance, incidence of tibial dyschondroplasia and tissue element contents of broilers fed on Chinese practical maize soya-bean meal diets was assessed. 2. Two concentrations of dietary chloride (1.5 and 3.5 g/kg) and 3 of dietary magnesium (2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 g/kg) were used to form 6 dietary treatments for a 21-d experimental period. 3. Results from this study indicated that the dietary ingredients of maize and soya-bean meals produced in the northeast of China may predispose or influence the susceptibility of chickens to tibial dyschondroplasia. 4. High dietary chloride induces a high incidence of tibial dyschondroplasia (P less than 0.05) which could be ameliorated by dietary magnesium supplementation. 5. Dietary magnesium plays an anti-rachitic role by improving the deposition of copper and zinc in the bone tissue. 6. Supplementation with magnesium to 4.0 g/kg is recommended for broiler diets in northeast China.
