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 ...

Improving the poor texture and technological properties of chicken wooden breast by enzymatic hydrolysis and low‐frequency ultrasound

Journal of Food Science, Volume 87, Issue 6, Page 2364-2376, June 2022., 2022
Abstract Wooden breast (WB) is a recurrent myopathy in fast‐growing birds, which alters the appearance, functionality, and the texture of the breast muscle. The objectives of this study were (i) to evaluate the effect of a combined use of papain enzyme and ultrasound on the texture of WB chicken using response surface methodology and (ii) to assess the

Effects of Guanidinoacetic Acid Supplementation on Productive Performance, Pectoral Myopathies, and Meat Quality of Broiler Chickens

Animals, 2021
The effects of guanidinoacteic acid (GAA) supplementation on productive performance, pectoral myopathies, and meat quality of broilers were studied. Treatments consisted of corn/soybean-based diets with a GAA supplement (0%, 0.06%, and 0.12%). A total of

Glucolipotoxicity: A Proposed Etiology for Wooden Breast and Related Myopathies in Commercial Broiler Chickens [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Wooden breast is one of several myopathies of fast-growing commercial broilers that has emerged as a consequence of intensive selection practices in the poultry breeding industry. Despite the substantial economic burden presented to broiler producers worldwide by wooden breast and related muscle disorders such as white striping, the genetic and ...

The impaired quality of chicken affected by the wooden breast myopathy is counteracted in emulsion-type sausages. [PDF]

J Food Sci Technol, 2019
The aim of this study was to evaluate the suitability of using chicken meat affected by wooden breast (WB) myopathy in the production of chicken sausages. Compare the technological and sensory properties of such sausages were compared with those produced from normal (N) breast meat.
