1. This study investigated the physiological and molecular mechanisms leading to wooden breast (WB) by comparing growth parameters, oxygen consumption rate, thyroid hormone and gene expression patterns in fast- versus slow-growing broiler lines (Cobb500 and L1986, respectively). 2.

The Effect of the Wooden Breast Myopathy on Sarcomere Structure and Organization.
Avian Diseases, 2018The 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.

Wooden breast is a muscle disorder affecting modern commercial broiler chickens that causes a palpably firm pectoralis major muscle and severe reduction in meat quality. Most studies have focused on advanced stages of wooden breast apparent at market age,

Fibrillar Collagen Organization Associated with Broiler Wooden Breast Fibrotic Myopathy
Avian Diseases, 2017Wooden breast (WB) is a fibrotic myopathy affecting the pectoralis major (p. major) muscle in fast-growing commercial broiler lines. Birds with WB are phenotypically detected by the palpation of a hard p. major muscle. A primary feature of WB is the fibrosis of muscle with the replacement of muscle fibers with extracellular matrix proteins, such as ...

The wooden breast (WB) myopathy is identified by the palpation of a rigid pectoralis major (p. major) muscle and is characterized as a fibrotic, necrotic p. major disorder in broilers. The objective of the current study was to determine spatial morphological and gene expression differences at 4 locations within WB affected muscle from different genetic
