1. Diagnosis for degenerative, myopathy of the Musculus supracora-coideus (DMS) in the live bird was attempted from plasma creatine kinase (CK) [EC 2.7. 3.2] activities in 70 female turkeys. The blood of each bird was sampled 18 to 20 times over an age span of 16 to 79 weeks. 2. DMS incidence was 15.7%. 3. After CK values were logarithmically transformed and corrected for bleeding date, 82% of the affected birds had one CK value that deviated 3 or more standard deviations from the mean of other values for the same bird. The results indicate that plasma CK activities can be used to identify affected birds with a high degree of reliability. |
