Popis:	The effect of voluntary wing movements was studied in 61 broiler breeder hens, 6 adult light weight layer fowls and 5 young turkeys. It was shown that two relatively brief episodes of voluntary wing beats caused severe acute necrosis of the supracoracoid muscles in all 5 turkeys, in 73% of caged and 40% of penned broilers; the light breed of fowls was not susceptible. These findings are discussed in relation to the pathogenesis of the spontaneously occurring deep pectoral myopathy of turkeys and broilers.
