<p>A method and an apparatus for handling slaughtered poultry, in particular broilers, is described, where the individual broiler - during the secondary slaughtering process, where the cutting open and eviscerating of organs and entrails are carried out - is fixed in an individual movable fixing device (2, 32) in such a manner that the fixed broiler in a precise manner may assume desired positions of rotation around a horizontal axis (24) stretching parallel with the direction of conveyance. The individual broiler is fixed in said fixing device (2) with the breast side outwards, and in such a manner that said axis of rotation (24) is stretching right through the broiler perpendicular to back and breast bone thereof. The individual broiler - fixed in said individual movable fixing device (2) - furthermore may be rotated about a vertical axis perpendicular to the direction of conveyance of the broiler. In a simple manner it is hereby possible to obtain a precise fixing of the individual broiler in such a manner that it, during the secondary slaughtering process, may assume any desired positions of rotation around a horizontal axis stretching parallel with the primary direction of conveyance of the broiler. That is that the broiler during the precarious eviscerating may be placed in such a manner that organs and entrails inclusive intestines - after the eviscerating - may hang away from the broiler in such a manner that the outside of the broiler may not be in touch with the intestines.</p> |
