New vascular structure in broiler breast: breast-vessel

ABSTRACT: Chickens intensively selected for accelerating growth rate and enhanced muscle mass has resulted in the occurrence of breast alterations with a negative consumers perception. Together with the already known breast abnormalities (White Striping, Wooden Breast and Spaghetti Meat) a new one h...
