Chemical compositions and physical properties of mixed-sex Thai indigenous (Gallus domesticus) and broiler (commercial breed, CP707) chicken biceps femoris and pectoralis muscles were determined. Indigenous chicken muscles contained higher protein contents but lower fat and ash contents compared to broiler muscles (P 0.05). Shear values increased for indigenous chicken pectoralis muscle (P < 0.05).
Wattanachant et al. (2004) studied this question.
