The Effect of the Wooden Breast Myopathy on Sarcomere Structure and Organization

Avian Diseases, 2018
The wooden breast (WB) has been classically identified by the phenotypic presence of a wood-like pectoralis major (p. major) muscle. The WB-affected p. major muscle is characterized by necrotic muscle fibers and the replacement of muscle with connective tissue, water, and fat.

Pectoral Vessel Density and Early Ultrastructural Changes in Broiler Chicken Wooden Breast Myopathy [PDF]

Journal of Comparative Pathology, 2018
In wooden breast myopathy (WBM) of broiler chickens, the pectoralis major muscles show abnormally hard consistency and microscopical myodegeneration of unknown aetiology. To date, previous studies have focused primarily on chronic WBM and ultrastructural descriptions of early WBM are lacking.

Impact of wooden breast myopathy on meat quality and myofibrillar protein functionality in chicken

Food Chemistry
The impacts of WB myopathy on the physicochemical and myofibrillar functional characteristics of chicken breast fillets were examined in this study. WB myopathy significantly increased thickness and weight of the fillets. WB severity correlated with increased surface L* and b* values, elevated pH level, decreased a* value, and reduced water-holding ...

Cardiac implications of chicken wooden breast myopathy [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology
IntroductionWooden breast disease is a myopathy of the skeletal muscle in chickens of commercial breeding. Although the underlying pathophysiology remains unknown, we and others have previously shown that affected broilers display varying degrees of ...

Characterization of wooden breast myopathy: a focus on syndecans and ECM remodeling [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Introduction: The skeletal muscle deformity of commercial chickens (Gallus gallus), known as the wooden breast (WB), is associated with fibrotic myopathy of unknown etiology.

Serum Biochemical Parameters of Broilers Affected by Wooden Breast Myopathy [PDF]

Animals
Wooden breast (WB) myopathy is a pathology of the pectoralis major muscle. Wooden breast is caused by multiple factors. The exact etiopathogenesis of this myodegenerative pathology is still unclear.

Effect of wooden breast myopathy on water-holding capacity and rheological and gelling properties of chicken broiler breast batters [PDF]

Poultry Science, 2020
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of wooden breast myopathy on water-holding, rheological, and gelling properties of chicken broiler breast batter. As to water-holding capacity, wooden breast myopathy significantly increased cooking

Exploring ANT1 dysfunction as a pathological driver of wooden breast myopathy in broiler chickens [PDF]

Poultry Science
Wooden breast (WB) myopathy has become a critical quality defect in modern broiler chickens, primarily due to rapid growth driven by selective breeding. This myopathy negatively impacts the appearance, texture, and functionality of breast meat, resulting
