This study aimed to evaluate the effects of glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin and combination of both in the locomotor system and the performance of broiler chickens during 1-42 days of age. It was 900 Cobb - 500 ® line chicks, in a completely randomized design with six treatments and five replicates of 30 birds each design. The treatments were: T1 - negative control, T2 - 25 % glucosamine sulfate and 75% chondroitin, T3 - 50 % glucosamine sulfate and 50% chondroitin, T4 - 75 % glucosamine sulfate and 25 % chondroitin, T5 - 100 % of glucosamine sulfate and T6 - 100% chondroitin sulfate. The experimental diets for creation phase were formulated based on corn and soybean meal, following the recommendations of Rostagno et al. (2011), for the respective phases of creation: initial (1-21 days ) and grower ( 22-42 days). Parameters of growth performance, carcass and parts, bone densitometry of tibiotarsos, staining of cartilage located in the proximal tibia epiphysis and liver morphology, analyzed at 21 and 42 days were evaluated. Statistical analyzes of the data were performed by analysis of variance method with the aid of the General Linear Model of SAS  (2002 ) and in case of statistical significance, the means were compared by Tukey test at 5 % probability. The different levels of glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate did not cause significant effect on the parameters of broiler performance, carcass yield and liver parts and morphometry. However, it was observed that the treatment with the level of 100% glucosamine sulfate yielded a greater number of chondrocytes in articular cartilage in birds 21 and 42 days of age. For the parameters of densitometry, the level of 100 % of glucosamine sulfate provided greater bone mineral density at 21 days, but at 42 days of age, the level of 100 % of chondroitin sulfate provided higher income densitometry, outperforming the locomotors system
