ABSTRACT Halothane screening has been used in the swine industry to identify animals susceptible to stress and prone to developing pale, soft, exudative (PSE) meat. This study evaluated the ability of halothane to identify stress-susceptible turkeys prone to developing PSE meat when reared to market age and transported before slaugh-ter. Male Nicholas turkeys (n = 1,286) were exposed to 3 % halothane for 5 min at 4 wk of age in two trials. Birds were classified as halothane sensitive (HAL+) or halothane nonresponder (HAL−), in which HAL+ birds showed signs of muscle rigidity in the legs upon removal from halothane gas, and HAL − birds showed no stiffness response. Approximately 3.5 % (45) of the turkeys were HAL+. All HAL+ birds and an equa...
