The Mobile Poultry Slaughterhouse

Book excerpt: If you are raising chickens, turkeys, or other poultry for meat and lack easy access to a humane, localÊslaughterhouse, this guide shows you how to put together a slaughtering and processing unit that will accommodate any type of poultry and can be moved from farm to farm. These units can be funded, built, and used by a community of small farmers, or you can develop one by yourself and use it as part of a business. This book covers the mechanics of constructing the unit, government regulations, the permitting process, sanitation, safety, and much more.
