Three key areas for yield maximization in poultry processing

摘要

The holding shed and hanging area, the kill and bleed area, and the scalding and picking process can be tweaked to increase yield. In all processing plants, the most important driver for reducing cost is yield. Maximizing yield and yield value is thedifference between average and outstanding returns and, in some cases, making a profit or losing money. Product costs are driven by dollars and volume. Increased yield will drive down the costs of salable product and increase volume without additional raw material cost, labor expense or overhead cost. From a plant standpoint, yield is the most important number that affects the bottom line.
