Visible contamination in broiler carcasses and its relation to the stages of evisceration in poultry slaughter

Brizio A.P.D.R., . and Marin G., . and Schittler L., . and Prentice C., . Visible contamination in broiler carcasses and its relation to the stages of evisceration in poultry slaughter. pp. 59-63. ISSN 22317546

Research has been conducted to establish a relationship between visible carcass contamination during different stages of evisceration and relating this data to the slaughtering speed average weight and feed withdrawal period of broiler chickens. For this a total of 51 500 carcasses were analyzed in two different stages of evisceration: after removal of the viscera package by the eviscerator and after manual separation of the edible giblets. Results showed that the highest incidence of contamination in the evisceration line was fecal and biliary. The figures highlight the need to standardize the weight of slaughtered birds lots adapt the capacity/number of employees in the stage of separating edible giblets and adjust the period of birds pre-slaughter fasting as a measure to reduce the visible contamination levels found in this study.

Abstract

Research has been conducted to establish a relationship between visible carcass contamination during different stages of evisceration and relating this data to the slaughtering speed average weight and feed withdrawal period of broiler chickens. For this a total of 51 500 carcasses were analyzed in two different stages of evisceration: after removal of the viscera package by the eviscerator and after manual separation of the edible giblets. Results showed that the highest incidence of contamination in the evisceration line was fecal and biliary. The figures highlight the need to standardize the weight of slaughtered birds lots adapt the capacity/number of employees in the stage of separating edible giblets and adjust the period of birds pre-slaughter fasting as a measure to reduce the visible contamination levels found in this study.
