Abstract
A method for processing poultry, including the conversion of live birds to component meat parts in substantially less time and using substantially less energy, which method comprises the steps of: providing a live poultry bird; slaughtering said bird with the application of electrical energy to stun or electrocute said bird; applying a sequence of electrical stimulation during bleedout; scalding the carcass; applying additional electrical stimulation immediately after scalding and subjecting said carcass to a conditioning step wherein said carcass is held in a warm, humid atmosphere for a period of time sufficient to render the poultry meat tender upon subsequent cooking without the need for an extended carcass aging period; and defeathering and eviscerating said carcass.
