Poultry processing is the method of preparing birds, such as chickens, turkeys, and ducks, for consumption. This process involves several steps, including slaughtering, plucking feathers, eviscerating, and cleaning the meat. The goal is to ensure that the poultry is safe, hygienic, and ready for cooking or packaging. After processing, the poultry is often chilled to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. It can then be packaged for sale in grocery stores or distributed to restaurants. Proper handling and processing are essential to meet health standards and provide quality products to consumers.
