ABSTRACT:
A probe for removing the crop and other viscera in poultry. The probe is cylindrical and is rounded at its distal end. Intermediate its ends is a grasping comb section consisting of a plurality of axially disposed channels. The channels each have walls that terminate in a plurality of spaced generally arcuate teeth the surfaces of which are essentially flush with the cylindrical probe. The probe is mounted on a module that in turn is mounted to traverse synchronously with poultry carrying shackles on an endless line. The probe and mechanisms therefor is detailed to enter into the neck portion of the chicken, rotate therein to thereby grasp with the teeth the crop and to withdraw the crop through the same opening that the probe entered.
