At 24 h postmortem, the breast meat (Pectoralis major and P. minor) and abdominal fat were excised and weighed for each bird. The breast meat (BMY) and abdominal fat (AFY) yields were calculated. The ultimate pH of the meat (pHu) was recorded by direct insertion of the Xerolyte electrode into the muscle. Breast meat color was measured at 24 h postslaughter using a Miniscan spectrocolorimeter (Hunterlab, Reston, VA) CIE L*a*b* system, where L* represents the lightness, a* is the redness, and b* is the yellowness of the meat; greater L*, a*, and b* values correspond to paler, redder, and yellower meat, respectively.
