Allometric coefficient in broilers and development of white striping and wooden breast myopathies
The aim was to study the evolution and severity of white striping and wooden breast myopathies and to carry out a study on the parameters of meat quality and allometric growth of male and female broilers at different ages. The experiment was conducted in

Growth trends reveal the forest structure during Roman and Medieval times in Western Europe: a comparison between archaeological and actual oak ring series (Quercus robur and Quercus petraea) [PDF]
At some point in time, man has influenced nearly all forests in Western Europe. Most of the original forest cover has been converted to arable land and pastures, or has been cut for the supply of firewood and construction timber.

Wooden breast and white striping: comparative occurrence in three poultry companies [PDF]
ABSTRACT: To increase the amount of meat produced, researchers have promoted intensive genetic selection for growth rate and muscling and have improved nutrition and management conditions. However, there has been an increase in the number of reports of breast muscle myopathies observed in poultry processing plants, including white striping (WS) and ...

Deep sequencing microRNA profiles associated with wooden breast in commercial broilers. [PDF]
Wooden breast (WB) is a muscle disorder affecting modern commercial broiler chickens that leads to a palpable firm pectoralis major muscle and causes severe reduction in meat quality, resulting in substantial economic losses for the poultry industry. Most studies have focused on the regulatory mechanisms underlying this defect with respect to the gene ...

Mortadella formulations using poultry breasts with White Striping and Wooden Breast
Were prepared mortadella formulations using poultry breasts with White Stripping and Wooden Breast in order to use this raw material. The mortadellas were formulated with 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of breasts with WS or WB and without alterations (WA). Were performed a microbiological evaluation, centesimal composition (protein, moisture, lipids and ashes),

NIR Spectroscopic Techniques for Quality and Process Control in the Meat Industry
Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is widely used for quality and process control in the food industry. In the meat industry, the method is still used mainly for determination of fat, water, and protein content, while new applications are emerging.

Metabolite profile based on 1H NMR of broiler chicken breasts affected by wooden breast myodegeneration [PDF]
The objective was to characterize the effect of wooden breast (WB) myodegeneration on the metabolite profile of chicken meat by 1H NMR and multivariate data analysis. The results displayed that the metabonome of chicken breast consisted predominantly of 30 metabolites, including amino acids, organic acids, carbohydrates, alkaloids, nucleosides and ...
