ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an apparatus for opening the body cavity of a slaughtered bird starting from the cloaca. Through the cloaca, a tensioning means is moved into the body cavity and towards the tip of the chest, which tensioning means tensions the skin of the bird. Next, a cutting device cooperating with the tensioning means in a scissors-like manner cuts the skin. The tensioning means may comprise two plate sections positioned alongside each other. The apparatus may be part of a rotating processing apparatus at the circumference of which a number of such apparatus are provided.
