Abstract
⺠We compared myogenesis in chicken strains of divergent post-hatch growth rates. ⺠Broilers showed raised embryonic activity from ED8 and were heavier by hatch. ⺠mRNA levels of MyoD, myogenin and IGF-I were altered in a muscle-dependant manner. ⺠Cellular characteristics were altered accordingly.
