The results showed that Intramuscular fat content in three chicken breeds increased with the age. Herein, the IMF of breast muscle in Anka chicken sharply increased after 8 weeks old and was higher than that of Wenchang and Rugao chicken. But, there was no significant difference between different breeds before 8 weeks old. The IMF of hen is higher than that of cock in all three breeds, but only in Wenchang chickens the significant difference were detected between different sex. ER -
