THE MOBILE POULTRY SLAUGHTERHOUSE: BUILDING A HUMANE CHICKEN-PROCESSING UNIT TO STRENGTHEN YOUR LOCAL FOOD SYSTEM

If you are raising chickens, turkeys, or other poultry for meat and lack easy access to a humane, local slaughterhouse, this guide shows you how to put together a slaughtering and processing unit that will accommodate any type of poultry and can be moved from farm to farm. These units can be funded, built, and used by a community of small farmers, or you can develop one by yourself and use it as part of a business.

The Mobile Poultry Slaughterhouse covers the mechanics of constructing the unit, government regulations, the permitting process, sanitation, safety, and much more.
