Summary

THE AIR SPRAY CHILLING PROCESS (BLOWING COLD AIR DOWNWARDS ON THE HANGING BROILERS, AND FINE SPRAYING UPWARDS OR LATERALLY) HAS REPLACED WATER CHILLING IN WEST GERMAN POULTRY SLAUGHTERHOUSES. THE FORMER WAS TESTED FOR WATER INTAKE AND FOR WATER LOSS DURING THAWING (DRIP). THE CORE TEMPERATURES AFTER 60 MINUTES OF COOLING SHOULD BE 3-5 DEG C. IN THE TESTS, HOWEVER, IN WHICH CHICKENS WERE SPRAYED WITH WATER WHILE PASSING THROUGH A COLD-AIR FLOW, ONLY 7 DEG C WAS REACHED. WATER INTAKE WAS 1.4 % AND DRIP WAS 2.58 %, A CONSIDERABLE IMPROVEMENT. M. C.
