This study aimed at investigating the implications of the occurrence of novel muscle abnormalities on quality traits and proximate composition of meat. For this purpose, two experiments were run by using a total of 80 Pectoralis major muscles, classified according to the presence of white-striping, wooden breast and poor cohesion defects and analyzed in order to assess ultimate pH value, colour and proximate composition. Overall, the occurrence of muscle abnormalities significantly affected ultimate pH and proximate composition of meat. In detail, significantly higher ultimate pH values, moisture, lipid and collagen contents coupled with a remarkably lower protein level were found in the Pectoralis major muscles affected by novel abnormalities. Thus, the occurrence of novel abnormalities, either alone or combined on the same Pectoralis major muscle, did not impair only appearance of breast meat but also led to altered traits.
