What is poultry processing?

Poultry processing is the series of steps involved in preparing poultry, such as chickens or turkeys, for consumption. This includes slaughtering, defeathering, eviscerating, cleaning, and packaging the meat for distribution. The process is carried out in specialized facilities called poultry processing plants, which follow strict hygiene and safety regulations to ensure food quality and safety. Workers in poultry processing may operate machinery, inspect products, and handle tasks on the production line.
