FOWL VENT REMOVAL APPARATUS AND METHOD

摘要

A rotating means in the form of a power operated tool rotates an elongated spiral member relative to a tubular serrated cutting member. The spiral member has a sharp tapered outer end which extends beyond the cutting edge of the cutting member. The spiral member penetrates into the area of the fowl adjacent the vent thereof and produces a reaction force to urge such area of the fowl into engagement with the cutting member to make a circular cut in the tissue surrounding the vent so as to disconnect the vent from the surrounding tissue and thereby remove the vent of the fowl.
