Incidence of broiler breast myopathies at 2 different ages and its impact on selected raw meat quality parameters

Abstract: White striping (WS) and woody breast (WB) are 2 poultry meat quality defects that affect the acceptance of raw breast fillets as well as properties of cooked and further processed products. The present study was intended to evaluate the incidence of these conditions in broilers at different ages and to compare the properties of fillets with different degrees of WS and WB. For this study, 1,920 birds were processed, at 6 and 9 wk of age, in a standard commercial inline processing system. After chilling, carcass… Show more

“…Four categories can be attributed to WB (Papah et al., ; Petracci et al., ; Sihvo et al., ): mild (focally diffused and light firmness), moderate (focally diffused with extensive firmness of the breast), severe (>75% of the breast being extremely firm and with diffuse coverage) and extremely severe (firm breast). Although chicken breasts may present only symptoms from this myopathy, it is often reported to be associated with WS (Kuttappan et al., ; Soglia et al., ). It is important to highlight that, although WB is commonly detected by manual palpation of the breast, this method may not be fully effective.…”

“…In relation to the height of the pectoralis major muscle, chicken breasts affected by WS, WB, SM, WS/WB, and WS/SM had higher height in both the cranial and medial regions of the breast compared to those in normal chicken breasts (Baldi et al., ; Kuttappan et al., ; Mudalal et al., , ; Zambonelli et al., ). However, in relation to the height in the caudal region, the WS and WS/SM presented a similar dimension to the normal group, while the SM, WB, and WS/WB breasts had a larger dimension (Baldi et al., ; Kuttappan et al., ; Mudalal et al., ; Mudalal et al., ; Zambonelli et al., ). No relationship was observed between breast width and myopathies (Baldi et al., ; Mudalal et al., , ; Zambonelli et al., ), yet, a largest length in breasts was observed in WS, SM, and WS/SM affected muscles in comparison with normal breasts (Baldi et al., ; Mudalal et al., ).…”
