ABSTRACT:
An ova harvesting system is provided as an adjunct to a poultry evisceration line to collect ova from slaughtered fowl. Ova are removed from the poultry carcass and placed in cups located immediately below the carcass to minimize loss. A cup conveyor carries the cups away from the evisceration line before reaching the viscera pulling station to avoid contamination of the ova. The cups are then transported to a receiving tank into which the ova are automatically discharged. The system provides a mechanism for disposal of ova from condemned carcasses in response to the inspector's condemnation.
