Inghams Slaughterhouse
2023 - Poultry is processed on a continuous conveying system. Live birds are processed through the kill and evisceration area where wastes are generated and collected. Blood is captured in a stainless steel trough that drains to a storage tank. A de-feathering unit mechanically removes feathers from the birds. Heads, feet and viscera (internal organs) are also mechanically removed before the birds are washed internally and externally with chlorinated water, and then chilled to a required temperature. Birds are weighed, graded and sent either to the cutting, boning or packing area for processing. The feathers, heads, feet and viscera are transported to separate holding tanks.
Received an $11 million Government grant for sustainability in 2023 allowing them to upgrade the facility.
