Focus on efficiency and product quality

摘要

The annual International Poultry Exposition (IPE) in Atlanta, Georgia, USA is usually the place for seeing new trends and products in poultry processing. This years' show was no exception, with the focus this time on efficiency and product quality, and not forgetting animal welfare issues. Major companies in the field of processing, showed their latest developments at IPE in Atlanta last January. In the recent past developments on scalding and stunning of broilers and chilling of carcasses were important. Aspects of animal welfare, hygiene and food safety, water and energy saving, dominated in the design of equipment which should now be able to process over 12,000 broilers per hour on one line.
