(i) Average fractional synthesis rates (FSR) and fractional degradation rates (FDR) for insoluble collagen in Pectoralis major at five different ages (P < 0.05 between ages) of bird grow-out cycle. The FSR values for d 35, d 42, and d 57 in <30% (n ≤ 3 birds) of sampled birds (n = 10) showed greater individual variation. Therefore, those values were excluded while constructing graphs, however those individual variation in FSR values were discussed in the result section. (ii) Fractional synthesis rates for myopathy (WB score ≥1) and non-myopathy birds (WB score ≤0.5). (iii) Percent accretion (%d⁻¹) for insoluble collagen in P. major at five different ages of bird grow-out cycle.
