Collagen content is an important parameter affecting meat consistency. Sex differences in collagen were therefore studied in mature and juvenile Shamo chickens. The pectoral (PT), lateral iliotibial (ITL), medial part of puboischiofemoral (PIF), and lateral part of gastrocnemius (GCL) muscles were weighed, and their COL1A1 expression levels and total collagen content were analyzed. Body and muscle weights were significantly higher in males than in females of all ages. Muscle/body weight ratios were also higher in mature males than in females, but this difference was not observed in juveniles. In mature chickens, COL1A1 expression was higher in the PIF and GCL muscles; this was not the case in juvenile chicken muscles. Sex differences in collagen content were observed only in the ITLs of mature chickens. A positive correlation between muscle weight and intramuscular collagen content was found for PT and GCL, but not for ITL and PIF, muscles. These results suggest that the sex difference in intramuscular collagen content only occurs in specific muscles and that COL1A1 expression is not necessarily related to collagen content in mature chickens. Factors that determine the intramuscular collagen content likely differ by muscle type.
