Wooden breast – a novel myopathy recognized in broiler chickens [PDF]
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2019 Abstract Abnormally hard breast fillet consistency began to emerge in commercial broiler chickens around 2010. Due to the remarkable muscle hardness, the condition acquired the vernacular name ‘wooden breast myopathy’. This myopathy starts to develop after two weeks of age at the earliest and typically proceeds into chronic ...

Oxidative stress‐induced changes in wooden breast and mitigation strategies: A review
Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 24, Issue 2, March 2025.Abstract Wooden breast (WB) is a multifactorial muscular abnormality resulting from the interplay between genetic predispositions for rapid growth, physiological stress, and anatomical impairments. This myopathy has been a persistent challenge in the poultry industry since its initial identification a decade ago.
