Tissue Defects

- Due to intensive selection, broiler chickens have become the most efficient meat producing animals, attaining exceptionally rapid growth. However, several studies indicate that fast-growing varieties exhibit various muscle tissue defects – myopathies – which adversely affect the poultry meat industry. In particular, recent decades have seen an increase in the incidence of breast muscle abnormalities such as myopathy of the minor (deep) pectoral muscles and pale, soft and exudative (PSE) meat, and more recently white fibres called ‘white striping’, hardening of the breast muscle known as ‘wooden breast’, and intramuscular connective tissue defects (‘spaghetti meat’). These abnormalities increase the occurrence of lower quality fresh meat for the retail market and to some extent reduce the nutritional, sensory and technological properties of raw meat used for further processing. The prevalence of these conditions indicates that further improvements in the efficiency of the meat industry and meat production may be constrained by the physiological capabilities of broilers, as their internal organs, vascular system and skeleton appear to be close to their functional limit. Hence, a problematic question is whether it is better to continue to set new performance goals for animals or to consider a step back in the selection process and attempt to reduce the extent of these emergent quality issues.

AbstractWooden breast (WB) and white striping (WS) are highly prevalent and economically damaging muscle disorders of modern commercial broiler chickens characterized respectively by palpable firmness and fatty white striations running parallel to the muscle fiber. High feed efficiency and rapid growth, especially of the breast muscle, are believed to contribute to development of such muscle defects; however, their etiology remains poorly understood. To gain insight into the genetic basis of these myopathies, a genome-wide association study was conducted using a commercial crossbred broiler population (n = 1193). Heritability was estimated at 0.5 for WB and WS with high genetic correlation between them (0.88). GWAS revealed 28 quantitative trait loci (QTL) on five chromosomes for WB and 6 QTL on one chromosome for WS, with the majority of QTL for both myopathies located in a ~ 8 Mb region of chromosome 5. This region has highly conserved synteny with a portion of human chromosome 11 containing a cluster of imprinted genes associated with growth and metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes and Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome. Candidate genes include potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 1 (KCNQ1), involved in insulin secretion and cardiac electrical activity, lymphocyte-specific protein 1 (LSP1), involved in inflammation and immune response.

Wooden Breast

Currently, two defects in poultry breasts termed Wooden Breast (WB) and White Striping (WS) have been reported in slaughterhouses. These defects may be associated with the accelerated growth of the birds, management, density in the aviary, and both weight and age at slaughter. Although the health of the affected birds is not impaired, these myopathies cause carcass condemnation and economic losses to slaughterhouses, since the breasts of these chickens, considered to be prime cuts in the poultry industry, have to be discarded. This paper reports on the economic losses and factors associated with carcass condemnation caused by white striping (WS) and wooden breast (WB) in broilers from a federally inspected slaughterhouse. Twelve flocks, totaling 207,000 slaughtered broilers, were assessed as to weight and age at slaughter, and stocking density and carcass condemnations due to these two myopathies were also evaluated. Economic losses were estimated by the price of poultry breast at the firm level, around U$ 19,12 per kilo, amounting to daily losses of up to U$ 70,632.00, given that approximately 0.8% of the chicken breasts were condemned. Heavier broilers had a larger condemnation rate due to WS and WB, and so did those reared at a smaller density, due probably to their better access to water and feed, which contributed to weight gain and consequent condemnation, resulting in losses that could affect the entire poultry sector.
