Saving water in the processing plant

摘要

Millions of litres of water are used in a processing plant annually. But water is a costly and scarce production factor. Savings can be made easily however, to reduce the amount of litres per bird. This will save water and reduce the cost per kilo ofprocessed chicken.Processing chickens is less water consuming then the processing of mammals. Yet, despite this positive reality, the broiler industry is aware of its great social responsibility to reduce consumption of this valuable liquid. After all, the world's water resources are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. The management of a processing plant should therefore explore new opportunities for lowering the use of water. Not just that, but also ensure proper sanitary conditions to obtain a good and safe final product: the processed chicken.
