Method of processing poultry
Abstract
A method is described for processing poultry, comprising the steps of supplying live poultry, stunning the live poultry in a stunning device, placing the stunned poultry into product carriers advanced along a conveyor, killing the poultry and removing the feathers from the dead poultry in a plucking device. Upstream and downstream of the plucking device, the poultry is exposed to an electrical stimulation. A method is further described for controlling process parameters, especially the time and duration of execution of working steps in a process of mechanized working of slaughtered poultry, the tenderness of a specified meat portion being evaluated prior to a due processing step and, after this evaluation, the important process parameters for the particular processing step being set to an optimal value.
