By examination of slaughter parameters and the morphometrical characteristics of breast muscles (M. pectoralis superficialis) and hindlimb muscles (M. sartorius) of game bird (partridges and phesants) and poultry (races White Rock and Amrock), some morphodynamic parameters of skeletal musculature of examined species of birds can be established. In purpose of those kind of examination, it is important to determinate the activity of succinodehydrogenase and concentration and position of lipids inside mescles, using the adequate histoenzymological and histochemical methods. Using the histochemical methods, the presence of all three types of muscle cells in breast muscles and hindlimb muscles were detected. Of all three types of muscle cells, partridges have the great percent of intermediary muscle cells, and the number of red and white cells were higher in M. sartorius than in M. pectoralis superficialis. Examined species of poultry have the great number of intermediary muscle cells in breast muscles, and the great number of red muscle cells in hindlimb muscles. Results of histochemistry researches and slaughter parameters researches, can pointed at meat quality and meat characteristics from the point of view of technology and meat quality.
