Proteins are the main participants in metabolic pathways. However, the analysis of protein abundance patterns associated with those pathways is complicated by the large number of proteins involved. In this study, the objective was to present the application of principal component analysis (PCA) to permit the visualization of developmental proteomic patterns of sarcoplasmic proteins found in breast muscle. Different turkey genotypes and nutritional regimens were used to potentially increase the variability within the sarcoplasmic protein profile. Sarcoplasmic protein fractions from turkey breast muscle samples were collected at 6 ages between 7 to 24 d. Breast muscle samples were collected from 2 distinctly different turkey lines. The poults within each line were either ad libitum or restrict fed. Proteomic PCA plots showed a visual developmental pattern from 7 until 17 d. Multivariate ANOVA highlighted the effect of time point and feeding regimen among profile patterns. The use of different genotypes and feeding regimens influenced variability, which was measured by mean Euclidean distances and ellipses of the PCA plots. These treatment effects, however, did not mask the developmental patterns. After 17 d, the proteomic patterns converged, suggesting that a level of biological stability was achieved regardless of the genotype or treatment. The developmental pattern obtained by the PCA methodology can aid in the planning of more efficient experimental designs so the developmental stage of individuals can be more accurately assessed.
