Description

Lionel Kinkpe and colleagues compare breast muscle across three duck types, in gene and chemistry work from 2026. Cherry Valley, Muscovy, and their mule cross differ in meat traits and flavour build. Joint gene and small molecule reads show how those breed gaps are wired inside.

Birds raised under like conditions gave meat, fat, and amino acid measures. Parent breeds differed most, with six thousand genes split between their muscle reads. Cherry Valley muscle ran protein breakdown and growth signal genes at higher levels. The cross formed its own profile, with double the free arginine of either parent. Muscovy led on several amino acids, while Cherry Valley fats scored least healthy.
