ABSTRACT:
Suction apparatus and process for removing fecal matter from the vents of bird carcasses such as chickens and turkeys. A hollow suction probe enters the vent of the bird, and a flow of water is introduced in the vicinity of the probe opening to provide a mass flow sufficient to transport loose fecal matter into the suction opening of the probe. Suction and water flows at the probe are controlled so that the beginning and end of the water flow is overlapped by suction, thereby preventing the unwanted entry of water into the bird beyond the end of the probe.
