Hygienic dressing poultry and pig

EU, UK and USA - defines poultry as chickens,
doves, ducks, geese, grouse, guinea fowl,
partridges, pea fowl, pheasants, quail, swans, and
turkeys.

USA- counts ostrich

34-42 days

lairage
shackling- certificate of compentence needed
stunning- if electrical
bleeding
scalding
defeathering
PME carcase
hock cutting
evisceration
PME offal
washing
chilling

open crate, look at bunch and assume same for all birds
FCI importnat- more information on it

• The person can safely handle animals before they’re restrained.
• Can safely restrain animals for stunning or killing.
• Can humanely stun animals.
• Knows how to check stunning has worked.
• Can shackle or hoist live animals correctly.
• Can bleed live animals.
• Is aware of techniques for religious slaughter.

keep them cool and venitaled
designated welfare officer in the lairage
kill quickly
if theres a breakdown- send to another abbatoir
can send birds to another abbatoi if already at lairage.

within 15 secd of stunner
mechanical cutters- carotid
need good positioning and accurate
operator present to ensure everyone cut
break of WATOK if they recover from the stun

submerge into tank of water
50-53 degrees or 56-58 degrees
used for feather removal
shit soup- everything is assumed contaminated from this point

is not for sterility, everything in contaminated and a shit soup great for bacteria:
wet
warmed up- kill at 80 degrees and were no where near the temp
faecal makes ammonium urate and uric acid= ph=6, good for bacterial growth
salmonella and campylobacter surive

go at the end, so dont spread salmonella through the scalding tank to every other bird

20c/ dollar
if any problems just bin them

fingers rub carcase to get feathers off
contamination step

Systemically diseased birds, badly bled
birds and badly bruised carcasses are
condemned.

severed off
inspected at the end
sold for piss cheap in asia
look for bumble foot- can destroy or sell over seas

spoon removes the viscera
must remina with the carcase the whole time until inspection

looking for edible vs non edible
sepesis
damage
fibronogen
liver hepatitis

USA- cholinated
UK- hose blast.
remove some bacterial contamination- but not sterile

counterflow current
from 30 to 4 degrees

salmonella- many specieies

pullorum= white diarhhoea, <3wks old
gallinarum- typohid, all ages, acute, anaemia, septicaemia, hepatomegaly. haemorrhage in kidneys, skeletal muscle congestion

high blood flow organs last to shut down:
kidney heart
peritoneum

caylobacter

76%
high prevalence on farms

outside, drinking water, wild birds, inscects, rodents
once its in a flock it will spread fast

Chickens become infected at 3 weeks alongside peak Salmonella
levels
• Transmission to 90% of the flock within 7 days.
stress increases transmission and prevalences
no CS

chlamydia pssiticia- zoonotic
intracellular parasite
infect people by inhaling dust

airsacculitis (thick air sacs
with white/yellow exudate),
pneumonia, pericarditis,
perihepatitis, hepato and
splenomegaly.

no, but its reportable

dead on arrival: condem
traumatic injury: bruise, fractures, condem
breast blistters/ hock burn: substate issue, tendon rupture if grew too fast, condem
ascites: RV failure, rapid growth. c.perfringes. condem
fatty liver haemrorhagic syndrome: nutritional issues. bin liver ,eat bird
vices: cannabilism, feather plucking
egg peritonitis- condem from excess inflam
septicaemia- e coli , salmonella, dark muscles, condem

pathologicall diagnosis: only done at PME
not just low BCS/ poor condition
gelatinous/ grey/ liquid fat- around organs and in bone marrow

oregon disease- green muscle disease
pectoral myopathy
ischaemic necrosis
comdem area affected

contamination
decomposition
barking- damage from scalding and plucking. brown discolouration
over scalf
fevered carcases
insufficient bleeding- cherry neck
viscera absent

stunning
schackling
bleeding- thorax cut, brachial plexus
scalding- hotten than chickens, 60 degrees
flaying- dehairing
singing- blast with fire
polishing
washing
evisceration
splitting
PME
chilling- 5-7
boning

dehairing stage- hence why singing
but then scraping anf polising contmainates again

e coli
then salmonelal and camylobacter

red meat- contaminated and so destoyed (unless preskinning)
chicken= no point bin it
pig= if flal off before scalding, can pick back up and put on, since goin to recontaminated and worth a few hundred pounds.

electrically
captive bolt gun
blunt force trauma- kills
exsanguination by jugular and carotid cut

USA= neck dislocation, blunt force trauma

hung
head removed
fore feet removed
skin cut around legs
tail removed
skin pulled down over body
lower abdomen cut- intestines and lungs are removed
liver kidneys and heart remain
cool 4 degrees

DOA- condem
badle bled carcases- vessels larged, congested flesh. condem
trauamtic injuries- staph infection, abscess. can cut a margin away, or condem

• Enteritis = Clostridium piliforme. Mild (inflamed) to serve (haemorrhagic). Condemn.
• Mastitis= Staphylococci or streptococci, remove mammary
• Metritis = Staphylococci, Pasteurella or Listeria monocytogenes
• Tumours= Single – trim, multiple – condemn.
• Pasteurellosis = Pastuerella multocida. Rhinitis, bronchopneumonia, middle-ear disease, genital infection and abscessation progressing to septicaemia and
death. Severity affects outcome.
• Spirochaetosis = Treponema cuniculi. Local infection of vesicles which become moist scaly crusts mucus membrane and genitalia. Trim / condemn.
• Myxomatosis = Conjunctivitis with clear discharge progressing to purulent, swollen eyelids. Oedematous ears cause droop. Decrease body condition. Splenomegaly and necrosis. Condemn.

(Tyzzer’s
disease)

common in jaw and diaphragm

• Taenia taeniaeformis= Cat tapeworm presents as white cysts in the liver.
Trim / condemn.
• Multiceps serialis= Cystic stage of dog tape worm Taenia serialis,
common in wild rabbits. Lumbar muscle, hidnlimbs and jaw muscles. Trim/ condemn.
• Cysticercus pisiformis= Cystic form of the dog tape worm Taenia pisiformis,
peritoneum and mesentery. Cysts can progress to caseous pus formation – trim / condemn.

• Salmonellosis = typhimurium.
• Tuberculosis =Avian and Bovine forms.
• Pseudotuberculosis = Nodules remebeling TB in liver, lungs, spleen and intestines. Pastuerella pseudotuberculosis
• Listeriosis = Listeria monocytogenes. Severe condition loss, torticollis, hepatitis
• Ring worm= Trichophyton mentagrophytes Cover whole body.
