This chapter aims to explore the characterizing features of breast myopathies in broiler production. It first examines the suggested mechanisms and predisposing factors that underlie the onset of breast myopathies. The chapter then addresses proposed strategies that are focused on mitigating the prevalence and severity of breast myopathies. It then dedicates a section to touch on the implications that breast meat defects have on broilers’ health and welfare. This is followed by final marks and future trends in research.
