Deep Pectoral Myopathy in Broiler Chickens
The aim of the study was to conduct an analysis of the main symptoms of deep pectoral myopathy (DPM) in broiler chickens, which is manifested by changes in colour and texture of the affected muscle. The research was conducted on Ross508 chicken broilers, at an age of 35-42 d. The lesions were assessed through macroscopic inspection, using colour parameters as well as texture analysis. Furthermo...
متن کاملThe genetic basis of pectoralis major myopathies in modern broiler chicken lines
This is the first report providing estimates of the genetic basis of breast muscle myopathies (BMM) and their relationship with growth and yield in broiler chickens. In addition, this paper addresses the hypothesis that genetic selection for increase breast yield has contributed to the onset of BMM. Data were analyzed from ongoing recording of BMM within the Aviagen breeding program. This study...
متن کاملOchratoxicosis in Broiler Chickens:
This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of ochratoxin A (OTA) on the function and histology of the liver, kidney and bursa of broiler chickens fed OTA contaminated rations. Two hundred forty one-day-old male Ross broiler chicks were used, they were randomly divided into 3 dietary experimental groups of 80 birds and given rations containing 0 (control), 400 or 800 μg OTA/Kg feed. T...
متن کاملMyopathy in broiler chickens: a role for Ca(2+)-activated phospholipase A2?
The role of Ca(2+)-dependent phospholipase A2 (PLA2) in the mechanism of skeletal muscle damage in broiler chickens was examined in vitro using a novel, synthetic, PLA2-specific inhibitor Ro31-499/001 (Ro31). Muscle damage was assessed by measurement of creatine kinase (CK) efflux from isolated muscles into the incubation medium. Treatment with the specific Ca(2+)-ionophore 4-Br-A23187 (5 micro...
متن کاملAvian infectious bronchitis and deep pectoral myopathy - a case control study.
Infectious bronchitis is caused by a coronavirus, infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). Infectious bronchitis is an acute and highly contagious disease of economic importance due to the reduction in weight gain observed with infected broilers and the drop in egg quality and production associated with infected laying hens. The presence of deep pectoral myopathy has been associated with IBV variants...
