Köy Koşullarında Beslenen Broylerlerde Saptanan Derin Pektoral Myopatide Patolojik İncelemeler

Abstract

Citation of This Article AbstractDeep pectoral myopathy (DPM) is a disease characterized by focal necrosis, hemorrhages, and green discoloration in the pectoral muscle of broilers and turkeys. The lesions of the affected muscles are usually detected during dissection after slaughter. DPM causes significant economic losses in the poultry meat industry. The purpose of this study was to investigate the gross and microscopic findings in a housereared broiler flock with DPM. In this study, the pathological findings of 12 house reared 100-120-day-old broilers with DPM were examined. All birds were clinically healthy but hemorrhages and green discoloration were detected on the pectoral muscle mass during dissection. Samples were collected from the lesioned muscles for a histopathological examination, which revealed necrosis, hyalinization, and hemorrhage. Inflammatory cell infiltration and atrophy of breast muscles was present in some cases. DPM was diagnosed based on gross characteristics and microscopic findings.

“…Examination of DPM in house reared broilers [27] report similar observations as were noticed in our study, such as greenish, pale, and swollen muscles with the presence of necrotic and hemorrhagic tissue that were visible during dissection of the pectoral muscle. In addition, leucocyte infiltration, necrotic muscle fibers, large necrotic areas, and fibro-adipose tissue were detected during microscopic examinations.…”
