The invention relates to an apparatus for opening the body cavity of a slaughtered bird starting from the cloaca. Through the cloaca a tensioning means (10) is applicable into the body cavity and towards the tip of the chest, which tensioning means tensions the skin of the bird. Next a cutting device (13) cooperating with said tensioning means in a scissors-like manner cuts the skin. The tensioning means may comprise two plate sections positioned alongside each other. The apparatus may be part of a rotating processing apparatus at the circumference of which regularly spaced a number of such apparatus are provided. <IMAGE> |
