ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for the humane slaughter and efficient processing of ostrich. The method envisions transporting ostrich from station to station within a facility via a rail system. First, an ostrich is rendered unconscious by an electrical discharge to the head or neck region. The ostrich is hung in an inverted position on the rail system. The ostrich is then killed by lacerating the arteries in the neck and also the windpipe. The head is removed and useful parts are extracted. Next, the ostrich is de-feathered, and then skinned. The viscera is removed from the ostrich. The gizzard, heart, and liver are extracted for further processing. Finally, the edible meat products are removed from the ostrich and are processed for human use.
