The invention belongs to the technical field of laying hen slaughtering, and particularly discloses a slaughtering and
processing method for laying hens. The method comprises the following steps: hen selection: selecting adult laying hens with good growth and development conditions for later use; slaughtering: manually hanging the selected laying hens, firstly carrying out electric stunning, then clamping the heads of the hens by crossing the wings of the hens, and then carrying out pulse
cutting and
bloodletting on the necks of the hens to slaughter the laying hens; blood draining: after slaughtering, hanging the laying hens upside down and draining blood until no blood drips from
cut places; and unhairing: conducting spraying and
scalding with hot water having a temperature of 56-59 DEG C via a spraying
machine to remove hair and residual film
skin on the bodies of the hens. According to the invention, an original mode of cold water soaking for precooling is changed into the mode that the hens are precooled in a 0-DEG
C constant-temperature precooling house without contacting with water, so the
nutrition of the hens is not lost in the precooling process, and the acidity of meat quality is reduced, products are fresher and tenderer;
bloodletting operation and blood draining are conducted after slaughtering of the whole hens, so problems in the appearance and color of the hen products are solved; and the spraying
machine is adopted for hot water spraying and
scalding, so original basin
pool scalding is changed, spraying is uniform, scalding time is short, and
nutrition is not lost.
