Primary processing
First steps, lasting impact
The initial stages of broiler processing play a vital role in determining the quality of the final product. From the moment live birds arrive at the processing plant, every step must be carefully managed to ensure consistency, hygiene, and animal well-being. Critical operations like stunning, defeathering, and, most importantly, evisceration form the backbone of a clean and effective workflow. Careful execution during this primary process helps minimize contamination risks and preserves carcass integrity. A well-executed primary process not only ensures food safety but also has a direct impact on the yield, texture, and appearance of the finished products.
