This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of electrical stunning on meat quality in broiler breast muscle. Breast muscles of broilers slaughtered by current method and electrical stunning were investigated for glycogen content, pH, shortening (%), morphological change and myofibril fragmentation index (MFI) of myofibrils, water-holding capacity and penetration value. Breast muscles from electrically stunned birds showed higher glycogen contents immediately after slaughtering and slower depletion of glycogen with postmortem time than control birds
