Characterizes degenerative myopathy pathology in turkeys; leaves open whether findings guide prevention or apply beyond poultry.
Jones et al. (1974) studied Degenerative myopathy. Degenerative myopathy vs. Normal muscle was evaluated on Muscle pH, histology, and ultrastructure. Affected muscle in turkey breeder hens with degenerative myopathy exhibited a pH of 7.4 to 7.8, high albumin, and extensive ultrastructural degradation of myofibrils compared to normal muscle.
