T. WALKER, S. G. BIRKHOLD, I. S. KANG, E. M. HIRSCHLER, A. R. SAMS] High voltage post-mortem electrical stimulation (ES) and muscle tensioning during chilling (MT) were applied to broiler carcasses to determine the effect of this combined treatment on absorbance ratio (R-value), sarcomere shortening, and myofibrillar fragmentation in muscles of differing fiber type composition. The ES + MT treatment resulted in a greater effect on these three parameters in the posterior Latissimus dorsi (predominately twitch-glycolytic) than in the anterior L. dorsi (predominately tonic-oxidative). The differing responses of these two muscles to the ES + MT treatment combination may be useful in explaining the effects of rigor-accelerating treatments such as ES + MT in avian and mammalian muscles. © 1996 Poultry Science Association, Inc.
