Blood Gas Disturbances and Disproportionate Body Weight Distribution in Broilers With Wooden Breast
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 Wooden breast syndrome is a widespread and economically important myopathy and vasculopathy of fast growing, commercial broiler chickens, primarily affecting birds with high feed efficiency and large breast muscle yield. To investigate potential systemic

Molecular Phenotyping of White Striping and Wooden Breast Myopathies in Chicken [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2020 The White Striping (WS) and Wooden Breast (WB) defects are two myopathic syndromes whose occurrence has recently increased in modern fast-growing broilers. The impact of these defects on the quality of breast meat is very important, as they greatly affect its visual aspect, nutritional value, and processing yields.

Histomorphometry of muscle fibers in breast fillets of broilers with wooden breast myopathy
Acta Scientiarum. Animal Sciences, 2023 Wooden breast myopathy (WB) strongly affects the poultry industry mainly in terms of consumers rejection and economical loses, due to morphological changes in broiler muscle tissue and consequently low meat quality. The aim of this study is to evaluate the histomorphometry of muscle fibers of breast fillets of broilers with severity levels of WB ...

Nutritional Properties and Oxidative Indices of Broiler Breast Meat Affected by Wooden Breast Abnormality [PDF]
Animals, 2020 Wooden breast (WB) abnormality adversely impacts the quality of chicken meat and has been linked with oxidative stress. In this study, breast samples were taken from carcasses of 7-week-old Ross 308 broilers 20-min and 24-h postmortem. Five WB and seven non-WB control samples were assigned based on palpatory hardness (non-WB = no unusual ...

Culinary preparation and processing of meat with wooden breast myopathy [PDF]
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021 Abstract Recently, poultry meat production and consumption has become increased worldwide. Decades of intensive selection in poultry breeding resulted in fast-growing broilers, improved food conversion, low production costs, and high yield of breast meat, as the most valuable part of the carcass. Some side-effects of intensive production
