Abstract
Post-mortem glycolysis, as described by muscle pH decline, was investi gated in several ostrich muscles. While the gastrocnemius pars interna , femorotibialis medius, iliotibialis lateralis and iliofemoralis show ed the normal descending pH decline pattern, the ambiens as well as th e iliofibularis showed a very vapid pH decline until 2 hr post mortem whereafter pH increased.
