Abstract
In the processing of poultry, the heads are separately and individually pulled downwardly along a vertical path during continuous advancement to automatically separate the heads from the necks at the jaw bone and at the base of the skull, salvaging all of the edible neck skin, while at the same time, removing certain inedible organs from within the body by pulling the same straight down through the vertical neck without separation of the head from either the esophagus or the trachea.
