Effects of maternal antibodies against myostatin on post-hatch chicken growth and muscle mass in Sentul Indonesian indigenous chicken
Maternal immunization with KLH-MSTN increased muscle fiber size but did not significantly enhance overall muscle weight in Sentul chicken offspring, except for the thigh muscle in females. This suggests that MSTN immunization may have limited utility in enhancing muscle growth in this chicken breed.
