Influence of Woody Breast Myopathy on Sarcomere Length and Tensile Strength in Commercial Broiler Pectoralis major Muscle

Meat and Muscle Biology, 2021
Woody breast syndrome is characterized by degenerative changes at the muscle fiber level and accumulation of connective tissue between the fibers.

Applicability of non-invasive, digital palpation device to detection of woody breast conditions in chicken breast muscle. [PDF]

J Anim Sci Technol
Woody breast (WB) is one of muscle myopathy found in chicken breast, characterized with enlarged size and extremely stiff texture. The WB condition is one of the most prevalent quality issues in the modern poultry industry. WB has been shown to be heritable, but no effective detection method of WB severity in live birds exists for the selection purpose.

Interactions of the branched-chain amino acids. 2. Practical adjustments in valine and isoleucine

Journal of Applied Poultry Research, 2022
SUMMARY: Reductions in dietary crude protein have potentially allowed for the occurrence of branched chain amino acid antagonism which can negatively influence live performance and carcass traits.

A structured-illumination reflectance imaging dataset for woody breast assessment of broiler meat. [PDF]

Data Brief
Wood breast (WB) myopathy is an economically important muscular defect that downgrades poultry meat quality and currently requires manual assessment for identifying and removing affected products at processing lines. An image dataset was created to assess WB conditions in broiler breast fillets using structured-illumination reflectance imaging (SIRI ...

Breast muscle white striping and serum corticosterone reduced in broilers exposed to laser environmental enrichment

Poultry Science, 2023
: Genetic selection for breast yields and fewer days to market has inadvertent effects on broiler meat quality. Woody breast (WB) and white striping (WS) are pectoralis major myopathies prevalent in commercial broilers.

Use of image analysis to evaluate morphometric measurements of broiler breast fillets affected by the woody breast condition. [PDF]

J Food Sci Technol, 2022
The objective of this study was to investigate the relationships between morphometric measurements and woody breast (WB) severity in breast fillets using image processing as an objective detection method for WB. Breast fillets were collected and categorized as normal (NORM), mild (MILD), moderate (MOD), and severe (SEV).

Acceptability of Artificial Intelligence in Poultry Processing and Classification Efficiencies of Different Classification Models in the Categorisation of Breast Fillet Myopathies

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Breast meat from modern fast-growing big birds is affected with myopathies such as woody breast (WB), white striping, and spaghetti meat (SM). The detection and separation of the myopathy-affected meat can be carried out at processing plants using ...

Assessment of meat quality distributions of breast fillets with woody breast condition in the raw and cooked state. [PDF]

J Food Sci Technol, 2022
The objective of this study was to determine meat quality distributions and assess hardness distributions in raw and cooked breast fillets with the woody breast (WB) condition, in addition to evaluating the relationship between water properties and WB severity.

Quality properties of chicken meatballs prepared with varying proportions of woody breast meat. [PDF]

J Food Sci Technol, 2022
The objective of this study was to explore the effect of woody breast (WB) on quality characteristics of chicken meatballs paired with the feasibility of its inclusion. Cook loss (CL), color (CIE L*, a*, b*), texture (hardness, springiness, chewiness and resilience), low-field NMR (bound water, immobilized water, and free water), microstructure, and ...

Investigation of Woody Species Structure and Regeneration Status in the Central Rift Valley, Sidama Regional State, Ethiopia

International Journal of Forestry Research, 2022
Protected areas are the most commonly used tool for in situ conservation of biodiversity. Selective removal of species proposed by the local communities living surrounding the national park and grazing pressure negatively affect the composition ...
