Costly Mistakes In Preparing Poultry For Market
An unusual season in Canadian poultry shows large supply and strong U S Army demand for high grade birds. Manitoba exports exceed two million pounds shipped from Winnipeg, with hundreds of thousands weekly. Poorly killed or prepared birds fetch low prices as inspectors require certificates for interprovincial and export sale. Differences: U S requires singeing and head wrapping. Canada permits but does not require head wrapping. Common defects include blood in mouth, dirty feet, foul vents, and imperfect plucking, all correctable after kill but may disqualify carcasses.
