Abstract

Modern, rapidly growing strains of meat poultry exhibit an elevated incidence of spontaneous or idiopathic myopathy and an increased susceptibility to stress induced myopathy. These pathologies are attributable to alterations in intracellular calcium homeostasis and consequent changes in sarcolemmal integrity and may result from excessive myofibre hypertrophy and inadequate development of support tissues and vascular supply. These myopathies may have, in turn, a range of implications for both product quality and bird welfare.
