Characteristics of broiler chicken breast myopathies (spaghetti meat, woody breast, white striping) in Ontario, Canada [PDF]
Poultry Science, 2022 : Spaghetti meat (SM), woody breast (WB), and white striping (WS) are myopathies affecting breast muscle of broiler chickens, and are characterized by a loss of myofibers and an increase in fibrous tissue.

Increased activity reduces the prevalence of woody breast in Ross 708 and Ranger Gold broilers [PDF]
Poultry Science: Woody or wooden breast (WB) is characterized by hardening and paleness of the Pectoralis major muscle and can affect up to 85% of broilers. We hypothesized that increased locomotor activity would lead to a lower prevalence of WB and increased tibia ...
