- Scientists have identified an enzyme called ‘lipoprotein lipase’ which is likely contributing to “wooden breast syndrome” in broiler chickens.
- The wooden breast syndrome is a metabolic disorder characterised by abnormal fat accumulation in the breast muscle tissue of broiler chicken.
- When it affects broiler chickens, it makes the meat hard and chewy.
- This can render the birds unmarketable and cause losses for growers.
