Attention to detail during the final phase of production ensures that broilers are transferred to the processing plant in optimal condition; meeting processing parameters and minimising the impact on bird welfare. Having a preprocessing checklist in place will ensure a smooth and successful transition from the farm to the processing plant.
A pre-processing checklist should emphasise:
- Proper preparation and catching procedures
- Correct bird handling.
- Suitable environmental conditions.
- Appropriate use of equipment.
- Monitored feed withdrawal.
- Well-planned transportation and processing plant delivery.
