ABSTRACT:
A flexibly structured probe carrying flexible fingers arrayed on the probe is used in decropping apparatus to snag and pull away from a poultry carcass membrane, crop, trachea and esophagus inedibles, the probe passing through the carcass stomach cavity and the neck passage in effecting this removal. The probe can be made of a resilient material such as a urethane this composition giving sufficient flexibility that the probe can deflect when encountering carcass inside obstructions to avoid damaging the carcass, and also the flexible fingers bending to prevent same breaking bones in the carcass when the rotating probe encounters such bones.
