Poultry myopathies like woody breast meat are increasing. Omics research, including genomics and proteomics, helps understand their molecular causes and identify affected meat.
Area of Science:
- Poultry Science
- Animal Science
- Meat Science
Background:
- Broiler breast meat myopathies, including woody breast, white striping, spaghetti meat, and gaping, have risen in prevalence since 2010.
- These meat quality defects impact the poultry industry significantly.
- Understanding the molecular underpinnings is crucial for mitigation.
Conclusions:
- Omics technologies are powerful tools for dissecting the complex molecular basis of poultry meat myopathies.
- This research aids in distinguishing affected meat and understanding contributing factors.
- Findings support the development of strategies to manage and reduce the incidence of these defects.
