Abstract
White striping (WS) is a myopathy of growing concern to the turkey industry. It is rising in prevalence and has negative consequences for consumer acceptance and the functional properties of turkey meat. The objective of this study was to conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS) and functional analysis on WS severity. Phenotypic data consisted of white striping scored on turkey breast fillets (N = 8422) by trained observers on a 0-3 scale (none to severe). Of the phenotyped birds, 4667 genotypic records were available using a proprietary 65 K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) chip. The SNP effects were estimated using a linear mixed model with a 30-SNP sliding window approach used to express the percentage genetic variance explained. Positional candidate genes were those located within 50 kb of the top 1% of SNP windows explaining the most genetic variance. Of the 95 positional candidate genes, seven were further classified as functional candidate genes because of their association with both a significant gene ontology and molecular function term. The results of the GWAS emphasize the polygenic nature of the trait with no specific genomic region contributing a large portion to the overall genetic variance. Significant pathways relating to growth, muscle development, collagen formation, circulatory system development, cell response to stimulus, and cytokine production were identified. These results help to support published biological associations between WS and hypoxia and oxidative stress and provide information that may be useful for future-omics studies in understanding the biological associations with WS development in turkeys.

Poult Sci 2023; 102:102608. [PMID: 36948037 PMCID: PMC10033751 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2023.102608] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Revised: 01/07/2023] [Accepted: 02/17/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Satellite cells (SCs) are muscle stem cells responsible for muscle hypertrophic growth and the regeneration of damaged muscle. Proliferation and differentiation of the pectoralis major (p. major) muscle SCs are responsive to thermal stress in turkeys, which are, in part, regulated by mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) and Frizzled7 (Fzd7)-mediated wingless-type mouse mammary tumor virus integration site family/planar cell polarity (Wnt/PCP) pathways in a growth dependent-manner. It is not known if chicken p. major SCs respond to thermal stress in a manner similar to that of turkey p. major SCs. The objective of the current study was to investigate the effects of thermal stress and mTOR and Wnt/PCP pathways on the proliferation, differentiation, and expression of myogenic transcriptional regulatory factors in SCs isolated from the p. major muscle of a current modern commercial (MC) broiler line as compared to that of a Cornish Rock (BPM8) and Randombred (RBch) chicken line in the 1990s. The MC line SCs had lower proliferation and differentiation rates and decreased expression of myoblast determination factor 1 (MyoD) and myogenin (MyoG) compared to the BPM8 and RBch lines. Heat stress (43°C) increased proliferation and MyoD expression in all the cell lines, while cold stress (33°C) showed a suppressive effect compared to the control temperature (38°C). Satellite cell differentiation was altered with heat and cold stress in a cell line-specific manner. In general, the differentiation of the MC SCs was less responsive to both heat and cold stress compared to the BPM8 and RBch lines. Knockdown of the expression of either mTOR or Fzd7 decreased the proliferation, differentiation, and the expression of MyoD and MyoG in all the cell lines. The MC line during proliferation was more dependent on the expression of mTOR and Fzd7 than during differentiation. Thus, modern commercial meat-type chickens have decreased myogenic activity and temperature sensitivity of SCs in an mTOR- and Fzd7-dependent manner. The decrease in muscle regeneration will make modern commercial broilers more susceptible to the negative effects of myopathies with muscle fiber necrosis requiring satellite cell-mediated repair.

Abstract
Native chicken has become a favorite choice for consumers in many Asian countries recently, not only for its potential nutritional value but also for its deep ties to local food culture. However, low growth performance and limited meat production restrict their economic potential. Conducting a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for chicken-breast muscle development will help identify loci or candidate genes for different traits and potentially provide new insight into this phenotype in chickens and other species. To improve native chicken growth performance, especially breast muscle development, we performed a GWAS to explore the potential genetic mechanisms of breast muscle development in an F2 population constructed by reciprocal crosses between a fast-growing broiler chicken (Cobb500) and a slow-growing native chicken (Daweishan mini chicken). The results showed that 11 SNPs, which exceeded the 10% genome significance level (p = 1.79 × 10-8) were considered associated with breast muscle development traits, where six SNPS, NC_006126.5: g.3138376T>G, NC_006126.5: g.3138452A>G, NC_006088.5: g.73837197A>G, NC_006088.5: g.159574275A>G, NC_006089.5: g.80832197A>G, and NC_006127.5: g.48759869G>T was first identified in this study. In total, 13 genes near the SNPs were chosen as candidate genes, and none of them had previously been studied for their role in breast muscle development. After grouping the F2 population according to partial SNPs, significant differences in breast muscle weight were found among different genotypes (p < 0.05), and the expression levels of ALOX5AP, USPL1, CHRNA9, and EFNA5 among candidate genes were also significantly different (p < 0.05). The results of this study will contribute to the future exploration of the potential genetic mechanisms of breast muscle development in domestic chickens and also support the expansion of the market for native chicken in the world.

Temperature and Growth Selection Effects on Proliferation, Differentiation, and Adipogenic Potential of Turkey Myogenic Satellite Cells Through Frizzled-7-Mediated Wnt Planar Cell Polarity Pathway. Front Physiol 2022; 13:892887. [PMID: 35677087 PMCID: PMC9167958 DOI: 10.3389/fphys.2022.892887] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2022] [Accepted: 04/19/2022] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Satellite cells (SCs) are a heterogeneous population of multipotential stem cells. During the first week after hatch, satellite cell function and fate are sensitive to temperature. Wingless-type mouse mammary tumor virus integration site family/planar cell polarity (Wnt/PCP) signaling pathway is significantly affected by thermal stress in turkey pectoralis major (p. major) muscle SCs. This pathway regulates the activity of SCs through a frizzled-7 (Fzd7) cell surface receptor and two intracellular effectors, rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) and c-Jun. The objective of the present study was to determine the effects of thermal stress, growth selection, and the Fzd7-mediated Wnt/PCP pathway on proliferation, myogenic differentiation, lipid accumulation, and expression of myogenic and adipogenic regulatory genes. These effects were evaluated in SCs isolated from the p. major muscle of 1-week faster-growing modern commercial (NC) line of turkeys as compared to SCs of a slower-growing historic Randombred Control Line 2 (RBC2) turkey line. Heat stress (43°C) increased phosphorylation of both ROCK and c-Jun with greater increases observed in the RBC2 line. Cold stress (33°C) had an inhibitory effect on both ROCK and c-Jun phosphorylation with the NC line showing greater reductions. Knockdown of the expression of Fzd7 decreased proliferation, differentiation, and expression of myogenic regulatory genes: myoblast determination factor-1 and myogenin in both lines. Both lipid accumulation and expression of adipogenic regulatory genes: peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ, CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein-β, and neuropeptide-Y were suppressed with the Fzd7 knockdown. The RBC2 line was more dependent on the Fzd7-mediated Wnt/PCP pathway for proliferation, differentiation, and lipid accumulation compared to the NC line. Thus, thermal stress may affect poultry breast muscle growth potential and protein to fat ratio by altering function and fate of SCs through the Fzd7-mediated Wnt/PCP pathway in a growth-dependent manner.

Untargeted Metabolomics Reveals the Effect of Selective Breeding on the Quality of Chicken Meat. Metabolites 2022; 12:metabo12050367.

Abstract
The selection for improved body weight is an effective approach in animal breeding. Guangxi Partridge chickens have differentiated into two lines under selective breeding, which include line S and line D that have shown statistically significant differences in body weight. However, the meat quality analysis in our study indicated that the quality of breast and thigh muscles in line S chickens changed, which included increased values of L*, b*, and drip loss and decreased a* value, pH, and shear force in skeletal muscles. To illuminate the effect of selection on skeletal muscles, LC-MS/MS metabolomics was performed to explore differentiated metabolites in divergent tissues from the two chicken lines. The results of principal component analysis and orthogonal projection to latent structures discriminant analysis suggested that metabolites of different groups were separated, which suggested that selective breeding certainly affected metabolism of skeletal muscles. KEGG analysis identified that valine, leucine, and isoleucine biosynthesis, glycerophospholipid metabolism, and glutathione metabolism noteworthily changed in breast muscle. Amino sugars and nucleotide sugar metabolism, ascorbate and aldarate metabolism, the pentose phosphate pathway, pentose and glucuronate interconversions, fructose and mannose metabolism, and glycerophospholipid metabolism were remarkedly identified in thigh muscle. These screened pathways suggested oxidative stress in breast and thigh muscles, which corresponded with our previous results. Therefore, this study determined that glycerophospholipid metabolism conservatively functioned in muscle flavor and development but exhibited different anti-oxidative patterns in different skeletal muscles. Overall, the present study identified several differentiated metabolites and pathways for exploring differences in meat quality between different broiler populations.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the occurrence of white striping (WS), wooden
breast (WB), and WS combined with WS/WB muscle abnormalities in broilers (Ross
500) at different slaughter ages (34, 41, and 48 d). In addition, the influence
of these muscle abnormalities at different slaughter ages on quality
characteristics (physical dimensions, pH, color index, and chemical composition)
was studied. Overall occurrence of muscle abnormalities was 45%,
92%, and 100% at slaughter ages of 34, 41, and 48 d, respectively.
It was found that about 39% from the occurrence of muscle abnormalities
was not similar in the same bird (left and right fillets). Breast fillets
affected by muscle abnormalities had significantly (p<0.05) higher weight
than normal fillets. At slaughter age of 34 d, normal fillets had significantly
higher L* (67.37 vs. 61.73 and 63.05, p<0.05), lower a* (3.25 vs. 4.87
and 5.18, p<0.05) and b* (4.02 vs. 5.20 and 5.99, p<0.05) than WS
and WS combined with WB fillets; respectively. The changes in chemical
composition due to muscle abnormalities were more significant at high slaughter
age than at low slaughter age. In conclusion, the occurrence of muscle
abnormalities was strongly influenced by slaughter age. Moreover, breast fillets
affected by muscle abnormalities had different quality characteristics
(proximate composition, color traits, and dimensions) in comparison to normal
fillets.

Abstract
The increase in the consumption of poultry meat intensified production, which allowed the emergence of myopathies associated with broiler and turkey meat. The aim to examine possible quality alterations in the 240 Pectoralis major muscle (breast fillets) from carcasses of turkey breeder hens. Regarding DPM, 120 samples of breast fillets from turkey of the Nicholas strain with Pectoralis minor muscle together were selected according to the occurrence of the myopathy in the Pectoralis minor muscle (tender), as follows: DPM score 2 (n = 40), DPM score 3 (n = 40), and a control group unaffected by DPM, score 0 (n = 40). Then, different 120 samples, from the same flock of birds, were selected according to White Striping (WS) anomaly in the Pectoralis major muscle (breast fillets), considering the degree of severity of the striations apparent in the muscle, as follows: moderate (n = 40), severe (n = 40) and a control group (normal) without the presence of WS anomaly (n = 40), with set up as a completely randomized design with 3 treatments for DPM and WS. We evaluated in meat of turkey breeder hens color, water-holding capacity (WHC), cooking loss (CL), shear force (SF), sarcomere length (SL) and total, soluble and insoluble collagen contents. The color parameters lightness (L*), redness (a*), and yellowness (b*) of turkey breeder hens breast fillets were altered by the occurrence of DPM and WS and as except CL, there were a difference for WHC and SF (P < 0.05). Significant differences were observed for sarcomere length (P < 0.05) between fillets without myopathies and with DPM Score 2 and 3 too. Higher values of total collagen (%) were observed for the most severe category of involvement for both myopathies. The DPM and WS affect the color and in a partial reduction texture of the breast fillets meat of turkey breeder hens and this may have a negative economic impact on the meat industry, because these are the main points evaluated by the consumer, in the most value commercial cut.

Abstract
Due to the increasing prevalence of growth-related myopathies and abnormalities in turkey meat, the ability to include meat quality traits in poultry breeding strategies is an issue of key importance. In the present study, genetic parameters for meat quality traits and their correlations with body weight and meat yield were estimated using a population of purebred male turkeys. Information on live body, breast, thigh, and drum weights, breast meat yield, feed conversion ratio, breast lightness (L*), redness (a*), and yellowness (b*), ultimate pH, and white striping (WS) severity score were collected on 11,986 toms from three purebred genetic lines. Heritability and genetic and partial phenotypic correlations were estimated for each trait using an animal model with genetic line, hatch week-year, and age at slaughter included as fixed effects. Heritability of ultimate pH was estimated to be 0.34 ± 0.05 and a range of 0.20 ± 0.02 to 0.23 ± 0.02 for breast meat colour (L*, a*, and b*). White striping was also estimated to be moderately heritable at 0.15 ± 0.02. Unfavorable genetic correlations were observed between body weight and meat quality traits as well as white striping, indicating that selection for increased body weight and meat yield may decrease pH and increase the incidence of pale meat with more severe white striping. The results of this analysis provide insight into the effect of current selection strategies on meat quality and emphasize the need to include meat quality traits into future selection indexes for turkeys.

Reliability of a White Striping Scoring System and Description of White Striping Prevalence in Purebred Turkey Lines. Animals (Basel) 2022; 12:ani12030254. [PMID: 35158578 PMCID: PMC8833487 DOI: 10.3390/ani12030254] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2021] [Revised: 12/22/2021] [Accepted: 01/18/2022] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary A relatively recent issue in the turkey industry is white striping (presence of white striations on the surface of the breast fillets). This defect influences consumer acceptance and the nutritional value of the meat and, therefore, is of economic importance to the industry. This study is aimed to test the reliability of a white striping scoring system used by several observers and estimate the prevalence of this defect in modern turkeys. After a few training sessions, the scoring system was found to be moderately reliable within and between the six participating observers. We found that 88% of turkeys in the studied population had some degree of white striping, with most scores being of moderate-severe severity (Score 1 or 2). Furthermore, white striping severity was found to be associated with higher slaughter weight, breast weight, and breast meat yield. Future research is needed to evaluate the use of white striping information in turkey genetic selection programs, as a balanced approach is needed to avoid slowing gains in economically favorable traits, such as growth. Abstract To efficiently meet consumer demands for high-quality lean meat, turkeys are selected for increased meat yield, mainly by increasing breast muscle size and growth efficiency. Over time, this has altered muscle morphology and development rates, which are believed to contribute to the prevalence of myopathies. White striping is a myopathy of economic importance which presents as varying degrees of white striations on the surface of skinless breast muscle and can negatively affect consumer acceptance at the point of sale. Breeding for improved meat quality may be a novel strategy for mitigating the development of white striping in turkey meat; however, it is crucial to have a reliable assessment tool before it can be considered as a phenotype. Six observers used a four-category scoring system (0–3) to score severity in several controlled rounds and evaluate intra- and inter-observer reliability of the scoring system. After sufficient inter-observer reliability (Kendall’s W > 0.6) was achieved, 12,321 turkey breasts, from four different purebred lines, were scored to assess prevalence of the condition and analyze its relationship with important growth traits. Overall, the prevalence of white striping (Score > 0) was approximately 88% across all genetic lines studied, with most scores being of moderate-severe severity (Score 1 or 2). As was expected, increased white striping severity was associated with higher slaughter weight, breast weight, and breast meat yield (BMY) within each genetic line. This study highlights the importance of training to improve the reliability of a scoring system for white striping in turkeys and was required to provide an updated account on white striping prevalence in modern turkeys. Furthermore, we showed that white striping is an important breast muscle myopathy in turkeys linked to heavily selected traits such as body weight and BMY. White striping should be investigated further as a novel phenotype in future domestic turkey selection through use of a balanced selection index.

Abstract
Abstract
Almost a decade ago, the sudden rise of breast muscle defects in fast-growing commercial broiler breeds challenged the broiler production industry and meat scientists to address the issue of these novel muscle abnormalities. After that, a widespread hypothesis showing a correlation between high muscle yield and incidence of these muscle myopathies got much acceptance from the research community. Increased muscle hypertrophy and unbalanced growth of connective tissues lead to an inadequate blood supply that ultimately causes hypoxia in muscle fibers. Reduced blood vascular density in muscle fibers induces oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, leading to muscle fibrosis, lipidosis and myodegeneration. Along with physical changes, the myopathic muscles exhibit poor sensory properties, abnormal texture properties and a low nutritional profile. As these myopathies alter meat’s physical appearance, they have a negative impact on customer’s behavior and preference. A better production environment with proper dietary supplementation with balanced breeding strategies can minimize the incidence of muscle myopathies in broiler chicken. This review aims to address the underlying mechanism behind these myopathies and their impact on poultry meat quality, including nutritional value and consumer behavior. It describes the link between genetic and non-genetic elements influencing myopathies, along with the strategies to minimize the occurrence of breast muscle myopathies.

Effects of Guanidinoacetic Acid Supplementation on Productive Performance, Pectoral Myopathies, and Meat Quality of Broiler Chickens. Animals (Basel) 2021; 11:ani11113180. [PMID: 34827912 PMCID: PMC8614519 DOI: 10.3390/ani11113180] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2021] [Revised: 11/04/2021] [Accepted: 11/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Genetic selection for rapid growth is accompanied with challenges in meat quality such as pectoral myopathies, which lead to downgrading of breast muscle and economic losses for slaughterhouses. This experiment evaluated the effects of guanidinoacetic acid supplementation at rate of 0%, 0.06%, and 0.12% on the productive performance and meat quality of broiler chickens. Result showed that wooden breast was manifested by low creatine and high ultimate pH, and more associated with heavy birds. Guanidinoacetic acid supplementation increased muscle glycogen, reduced the ultimate pH, and reduced the incidence of wooden breast severity. In conclusion, guanidinoacetic acid can be used in broiler diets to improve the productive performance without exacerbating pectoral myopathy or affecting meat quality. Abstract The effects of guanidinoacteic acid (GAA) supplementation on productive performance, pectoral myopathies, and meat quality of broilers were studied. Treatments consisted of corn/soybean-based diets with a GAA supplement (0%, 0.06%, and 0.12%). A total of 546 one-day-old Ross-308 males were randomly allocated to 42 floor pens with 14 replicates (13 birds/pens) for each treatment. The results showed that GAA at doses of 0.06% and 0.12% improved feed conversion, increased the percentage of normal breast, and decreased the severity of wooden breast. Breast muscle myopathy severity was positively correlated with heavy birds and negatively correlated with breast muscle creatine and glycogen. Breast muscle creatine and glycogen correlated positively with normal, less severe pectoral myopathies and meat quality. In conclusion, GAA supplementation improved broiler performance without exacerbating pectoral myopathy or affecting meat quality.

Quality of turkeys breast meat affected by white striping myopathy. Poult Sci 2021; 100:101022. [PMID: 33706073 PMCID: PMC7972963 DOI: 10.1016/j.psj.2021.101022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2020] [Revised: 01/13/2021] [Accepted: 01/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/01/2022] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to characterize the breast meat of turkeys affected by different degrees of severity (normal [NORM], moderate [MOD], and severe [SEV]) of the white striping (WS) myopathy, as well as to evaluate the influence of this myopathy on meat quality. Twenty-nine samples of the pectoralis major muscles of each treatment were obtained from Nicholas breed male and female turkeys, reared and slaughtered in the center-west region of Brazil. The whole breasts of the turkeys were used for macroscopic classification, weight evaluation, and morphometric measurements. Then, the pectoralis major muscle was separated for histological evaluation and qualitative physicochemical analyses, namely ventral and dorsal color (L∗, a∗, and b∗), pH value, water holding capacity (WHC), cooking loss (CL), shear force (SF) (Meullenet-Owens Razor Shear [MORS] and Warner-Bratzler), sarcomere length, total, soluble, and insoluble collagen contents, proximate composition (protein, lipids, moisture, and ash), cholesterol content, and fatty acid profile. The results showed that muscles affected by myopathy, both MOD and SEV, exhibited larger weights (around 2.8 kg) compared to NORM muscles (1.3 kg) and a significant increase (P < 0.05) in the diameter of the fibers. The increase in the degree of severity of the myopathy increased (P < 0.05) the value of L∗ of the dorsal part and ventral part of the muscle. No differences (P > 0.05) were observed in the pH, CL, and WHC values of the muscles, whereas the MORS and Warner-Bratzler SF of the SEV fillets resulted in significantly lower shear values (P < 0.05) compared to the NORM fillets. In addition, the MOD and SEV fillets presented lower values of protein (P < 0.05) than NORM fillets. No significant differences (P > 0.05) were observed for moisture and lipid and cholesterol contents. Meat with MOD and SEV severity of WS myopathy had higher (P < 0.05) concentrations of total and insoluble collagen. Thus, the presence of WS myopathy in MOD and SEV degrees affected a large part of the histological and quality characteristics evaluated.

Abstract
White striping, wooden breast, and spaghetti muscle have become common myopathies in broilers worldwide. Several research reports have indicated that the origin of these lesions is metabolic disorders. These failures in normal metabolism can start very early in life, and suboptimal incubation conditions may trigger some of the key alterations on muscle metabolism. Incubation conditions affect the development of muscle and can be associated with the onset of myopathies. A series of experiments conducted with broilers, turkeys, and ducks are discussed to overview primary information showing the main changes in breast muscle histomorphology, metabolism, and physiology caused by suboptimal incubation conditions. These modifications may be associated with current myopathies. Those effects of incubation on myopathy occurrence and severity have also been confirmed at slaughter age. The impact of egg storage, temperature profiles, oxygen concentrations, and time of hatch have been evaluated. The effects have been observed in diverse species, genetic lines, and both genders. Histological and muscle evaluations have detected that myopathies could be induced by extended hypoxia and high temperatures, and those effects depend on the genetic line. Thus, these modifications in muscle metabolic responses may make hatchlings more susceptible to develop myopathies during grow out due to thermal stress, high-density diets, and fast growth rates.

Abstract
The present study aimed at evaluating the effect of the exposure to a strong oxidative environment (100 mM NaClO) and the concurrent incubation with different malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations (0 to 5 mM) on protein carbonylation, free thiol groups, total heme pigments, and on the relative concentration of the different myoglobin (Mb) derivatives in turkey thigh and rabbit hind leg meat to elucidate their eventual role in inducing oxidative modifications on the protein fraction. With regard to turkey meat, the addition of a strong oxidant resulted in remarkably higher (P < 0.001) carbonyls along with a reduction in free thiol groups (which become undetectable). The relative concentration of MbO2 and MetMb was significantly affected (P < 0.001) and total heme pigment was reduced by 62% when fresh meat is compared to its oxidized counterpart. The addition of MDA 2.5 mM (or greater) resulted in a 1.4-fold increase in carbonyls and a tendency (P = 0.07) has been observed for free thiol groups whose content decreased as the MDA level increased. Overall, the aforementioned results are in agreement with those obtained on rabbit hind leg meat in which a three-fold increase (P < 0.001) in carbonyls and a remarkably higher (P < 0.001) MetMb content coupled with a 53% reduction in free thiol groups were found. No significant differences ascribable to MDA addition were found. In conclusion, exposing turkey and rabbit meat to the same environment resulted in distinctive oxidative changes that might be related to the compositional traits and a species-specific susceptibility of the meat toward oxidation. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Protein and lipid oxidation have been investigated in different meat types; nevertheless, the knowledge concerning the interaction between these two phenomena is limited. According to their compositional traits (high Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and heme pigment content), turkey and rabbit leg meats are particularly susceptible to oxidation. Providing information concerning the oxidative stability of turkey thigh and rabbit hind leg meat exposed to strong oxidative conditions and to a concurrent increasing content of a secondary product of lipid oxidation, the findings of the present study can be useful when proper processing strategies and storage conditions have to be implemented for manufacturing processed products.

Abstract
Over the past decade, the poultry industry has faced an increasing occurrence of growth-related muscular abnormalities that mainly affect fast-growing genotypes selected for their production performances (high growth rate and breast yield). These abnormalities, termed white striping (WS), wooden breast (WB) and spaghetti meat (SM), primarily affect the superficial portion of pectoralis major muscles. Despite their distinctive phenotypes, WS, WB, and SM conditions entail common histological features, i.e., they might share common causative mechanisms underpinning their occurrence. Meat affected by growth-related abnormalities is harmless for human nutrition since no specific biological or chemical hazards have been found to be related to its consumption. However, WS, WB, and SM abnormalities negatively affect both quality traits and technological properties of raw and processed meat, causing relevant economic damages in the poultry industry. This paper aims to provide an update about the current status of poultry meat abnormalities, giving useful insights about their impact on meat quality, the possible causative mechanisms, methods for mitigation, and future perspectives.

Abstract
Turkey meat is the second most consumed poultry meat worldwide and represents an economic source of high-quality protein for human consumption. To fulfill the increasing demand for turkey meat, breeding companies have been selecting genetic lines with increased growth potential and breast muscle proportion. Moreover, the progressive shift toward further processed products has emphasized the need for higher standards in poultry meat to improve its technological characteristics and functional properties (i.e., water-holding capacity). However, as observed for broiler chickens, a growing body of scientific evidence suggests that the intense selection for the aforementioned traits could be associated with a greater occurrence of growth-related myopathies and abnormalities and, consequently, to increased downgrading rates and overall reduction of meat quality characteristics. In the past, muscle abnormalities such as deep pectoral myopathy, pale-soft-and-exudative-like meat, and focal myopathy have been reported in turkey lines selected for increased growth rate. In addition, the presence of white striations in the superficial layer of pectoralis major muscle, as well as the tendency of muscle fiber bundles to separate resulting in an altered breast muscle structure, has been detected in commercial turkey abattoirs. Furthermore, past investigations revealed the presence of another quality issue depicted by an overall toughening of the breast muscle. These meat abnormalities seem to macroscopically overlap the white striping, spaghetti meat, and wooden breast conditions observed in pectoral muscle of fast-growing, high-breast-yield chicken hybrids, respectively. Considering the high economic impact of these growth-related abnormalities in broilers, there is an increasing interest of the turkey industry in estimating the occurrence and the impact of these meat quality issues also in the modern turkey lines. Studies have been recently conducted to assess the effect of the genotype on the occurrence of these emerging growth-related defects and to evaluate how meat quality properties are affected by white-striping condition in turkeys, respectively. Therefore, this review aims to provide a critical overview of the current understanding regarding the growth-related abnormalities and their impact on meat quality in modern turkey hybrids with the hope that this information may improve the knowledge concerning their overall effect on poultry meat.

Abstract
This research compared the distribution and mobility of water in the longissimus thoracis muscle of 51 Apulo-Calabrese and 52 crossbred pigs differing in growth performances. The Apulo-Calabrese and crossbreed pigs were fed the same diet and slaughtered at 135 and 155 kg live weight, respectively. Besides meat quality measurement, water status was assessed from transverse relaxation time (T2) weighted signals registered by Time Domain Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (TD-NMR). A mixed model indicated that Apulo-Calabrese pigs had higher a* (P-value < 0.0001), chroma (P-value < 0.0001) and total intensity (P-value = 0.011) values. A Principal Component Analysis showed that the samples from Apulo-Calabrese had higher scores along Principal Component (PC) 2 (P-value = 4.07 × 10-5) and lower scores along PC3 (P-value = 1.50 × 10-7). However PC2 and PC3 explained a low fraction of the total variance, suggesting that few differences characterize meat quality traits of the two genetic types.

Abstract
The appearance of white striations over breast meat is an emerging and growing
problem. The main purpose of this study was to employ the reflectance of
visible-near infrared (VIS/NIR) spectroscopy to differentiate between normal and
white striped turkey breasts. Accordingly, 34 turkey breast fillets were
selected representing a different level of white striping (WS) defects (normal,
moderate and severe). The findings of VIS/NIR were analyzed by principal
component (PC1) analysis (PCA). It was found that the first PC1 for VIS, NIR and
VIS/NIR region explained 98%, 97%, and 96% of the total variation, respectively.
PCA showed high performance to differentiate normal meat from abnormal meat
(moderate and severe WS). In conclusion, the results of this research showed
that VIS/NIR spectroscopy was satisfactory to differentiate normal from severe
WS turkey fillets by using several quality traits.

Abstract
This study was undertaken to compare productive performance, occurrence of breast myopathies, chemical composition, and technological properties of the meat in 2 dominant commercial turkey hybrids. A total of 972 1-day-old male turkey poults (equally divided in hybrid A and B) were randomly distributed in 18 floor pens. Overall, productive performance resulted similar between the genotypes, although they showed different growth profile (turkeys from group B grew up faster up to 84 d). Regarding the occurrence of myopathies, the percentage of breasts affected by white striping was markedly higher in both genotypes (46 vs. 60% of severe lesions, respectively for A and B; P < 0.05), while the occurrence of spaghetti meat-like condition was negligible. The histological features of the different categories of meat abnormalities resulted similar to those previously described for chicken hybrids. The technological traits such as ultimate pH, lightness, redness, marinade uptake, cooking losses, and shear force were not significantly affected by the genotype. However, turkeys from group B exhibited lower yellowness (b*, 0.50 vs. 1.04; P < 0.05) and higher drip losses (1.34 vs. 1.26%; P < 0.05). The shelf-life test on thigh meat showed no significant changes in meat color over the storage time in both hybrids, whereas thigh meat from group A showed absolute lower values of lightness (L*) and yellowness (b*) (P < 0.05). Lipid oxidation of thigh meat significantly increased during storage, although no significant difference was found between the hybrids. Proximate composition and intramuscular collagen properties resulted similar between genetic lines with the exception of total fat content (1.55 vs. 1.21%, respectively for A and B; P < 0.05). The genotype had a moderate effect on fatty acid families of breast meat as only monounsaturated fatty acid content was significantly affected (31.7 vs. 29.8%, respectively for A and B). In conclusion, the overall productive traits of commercial turkeys, including the occurrence of muscle myopathies, as well as quality attributes of fresh and refrigerated meat were only slightly affected by the genotype.

Abstract
Ten years ago, the occurrence of macroscopic defects in breasts muscles from fast-growing broilers challenged producers and animal scientists to label and characterize myopathies wholly unknown. The distinctive white striations in breasts affected by white striping disorder, the presence of out-bulging and pale areas of hardened consistency in the so-called wooden breast, and the separation of the fiber bundles in breasts labelled as spaghetti meat, made these myopathies easily identified in chicken carcasses. Yet, the high incidence of these myopathies and the increasing concern by producers and retailers led to an unprecedented flood of questions on the causes and consequences of these abnormal chicken breasts. This review comprehensively collects the most relevant information from studies aimed to understand the pathological mechanisms of these myopathies, their physicochemical and histological characterization and their impact on meat quality and consumer's preferences. Today, it is known that the occurrence is linked to fast-growth rates of the birds and their large breast muscles. The muscle hypertrophy along with an unbalanced growth of supportive connective tissue leads to a compromised blood supply and hypoxia. The occurrence of oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction leads to lipidosis, fibrosis, and overall myodegeneration. Along with the altered appearance, breast muscles affected by the myopathies display poor technological properties, impaired texture properties, and reduced nutritional value. As consumer's awareness on the occurrence of these abnormalities and the concerns on animal welfare arise, efforts are made to inhibit the onset of the myopathies or alleviate the severity of the symptoms. The lack of fully effective dietary strategies leads scientists to propose whether "slow" production systems may alternatively provide with poultry meat free of these myopathies.

Abstract
The technological, nutritional, and sensorial quality of breasts and thighs with drumsticks of turkey male and female breeders was characterized by comparison with breasts and thighs with drumsticks of growing male and female turkeys from the Grademaker line (hybrid turkeys, n = 20 birds per sex and per physiological stage). The breeder turkeys were slaughtered at 397 and 410 days of age and 10.42 and 32.67 kg of body weight for the females and males, respectively. The standard turkeys were slaughtered at 75 and 103 days of age and 5.89 and 13.48 kg of body weight for the females and males, respectively. The differences observed between males and females on one hand and between standard and breeder turkeys on the other hand were mainly induced by differences in slaughter ages and sexual dimorphism on body weight. The meat of female breeders had characteristics close to those of female and male standard turkeys, whereas the meat of male breeders was clearly distinguishable, particularly by displaying lower tenderness and water holding capacity.

Abstract
The dramatic improvements in the growth rate and breast muscle size and yield in
broilers through the intensive genetic selection, and the improvement in
nutrition and management over the past 50 years have introduced serious
abnormalities that influenced the quality of breast meat. The abnormalities
include pale-soft-exudative (PSE) conditions, deep pectoral muscle (DPM)
myopathy, spaghetti meat (SM), white striping (WS), and woody breast (WB) that
have serious negative implications to the broiler meat industry. The incidences
of PSE and DPM have been known for several decades, and their prevalence,
etiology and economic impact have been well discussed. However, other
abnormalities such as SM, WS and WB conditions have been reported just for few
years although these conditions have been known for some time. The newly
emerging quality issues in broilers are mainly associated with the
Pectoralis major muscles, and the incidences have been
increased dramatically in some regions of the world in recent years. As high as
90% of the broilers are affected by the abnormalities, which are expected to
cause from $200 million to $1 billion economic losses to the U.S. poultry
industry per year. So, this review mainly discusses the histopathological
characteristics and biochemical changes in the breast muscles with the emphasis
on the newly emerging abnormalities (SM, WS, and WB) although other
abnormalities are also discussed. The impacts of the anomalies on the
nutritional, functional, mechanical and sensory quality of the meat and their
implications to the poultry industry are discussed.

Abstract
Selection for fast-growing and high-breast-yield hybrids has enormously increased the pressure on muscle development rate and mass, indirectly promoting the development of muscular abnormalities affecting the pectoral muscles such as White Striping, Wooden Breast and Spaghetti Meat. Macroscopically, the muscles affected by these defects exhibit distinctive traits, whereas the microscopic examinations evidenced similar histological alterations. Therefore, a common causative mechanism (involving genes related to several metabolic pathways and functional categories) underpinning the occurrence of these abnormalities may be hypothesized and directly associated with muscle hypertrophy induced by selection. Within this context, as the occurrence of growth-related abnormalities may negatively affect consumer attitude and certainly leads to considerable economic losses, resulting from meat downgrading, it clearly emphasizes the need to consider those issues related to muscle growth and meat quality when selecting meat-type genotypes.
