chicken processing
Butchering farm birds
Chicken processing refers to the industrial operations that convert live chickens into packaged meat products ready for sale.
This includes slaughtering, defeathering, evisceration, cutting, and packaging, typically performed in large facilities called processing plants.
The term encompasses both the physical procedures and the broader industry sector.
The chicken processing plant employs hundreds of workers.
Food safety regulations heavily govern chicken processing due to contamination risks.
