ABSTRACT:
Poultry packed in a crate suitable for the transport of live poultry are passed into a chamber having an oxygen depleted atmosphere and held in the atmosphere for a sufficient period of time for the poultry first to lose consciousness and then to die as a result of the lack of oxygen in the atmosphere. The atmosphere typically comprises nitrogen or argon containing less than 1% by volume of oxygen. It is found that the birds so slaughtered exhibit less bone damage than poultry slaughtered by a conventional method including the step of electrically stunning the birds prior to slaughter.
