Abstract
A method for filling a container which is used for the transportation of live poultry from a breeding farm to a slaughterhouse is described, as well as a container to be used with said method. The container is divided into compartments, one on top of the other. Prior to the filling of a compartment with poultry, the bottom face of the compartment lying above it, together with the side face thereof, is moved away fully or partially. Said side face is lying at the filling side of the container. The container is constructed in such a way that the poultry can meet no obstacles at the filling side above the compartment to be filled. Moving away said bottom and side faces may be performed by sliding them away sideways or by flapping them up.
