ABSTRACT:
The digestive tract of a poultry carcass is removed for inspection without stretching the weak section of the esophagus beyond its breaking point by simultaneously pulling on the gizzard and proventriculus at opposite ends of the weak section using two separate tools. The tool which hooks beneath the proventriculus is withdrawn from the carcass at substantially the same or slightly faster rate than the tool which pulls on the gizzard and the remainder of the organs in the tract, thereby transferring stress from the weak section of the esophagus to the stronger section below the proventriculus. The tool for the gizzard comprises a generally U-shaped, open loop, while the tool for the proventriculus comprises a tongue having a bifurcated tip which can be cocked into a position for hooking beneath the proventriculus after the tongue has been fully inserted.
