Accumulation of melanin in the peritoneum causes black abdomens in broilers.

Poultry science - 1 Mar 2014

Wang J, Wang Y, Luo C, Qu H, Shu D

Abstract excerpt

A suspected case of localized visceral hyperpigmentation was described for a breed of broiler in China. Using optical microscopy, the accumulation of pigments in the abdominal skin and visceral peritoneum was observed. Electron microscopy was used to further study the ultrastructure of the pigmented peritoneum, and pigment granules resembling melanosomes at different stages were found, and melanocytes were...
