Procedures for Slaughtering and Dressing Swine1. Weighing, Stunning, Shackling and Sticking

a. Balance the livestock scale (to zero) and gently drive the hog onto the platform. Allow thescale beam or needle to come to rest or, for digital scales, allow the digital readout toequilibrate and record the live animal weight.

b. Gently drive the hog into the stunning chute and close the door. Stunning can beaccomplished by administering electrical current to both temples or to the center of theforehead or by applying a sharp blow to the forehead with a mechanical stunning device.After proper stunning, tilt the stunning chute to release the hog into the dry landing area.

c. The shackle is placed around one hind leg between the dewclaws and the hock. When the hogis suspended, steady it by placing the flat of the hand on the shoulder (do not grasp the leg)and insert the knife midway between the tip of the sternum and the throatlatch. With the tippointed directly toward the tail and squarely in the middle of the ventral aspect, give an upwardthrust to the hilt of the blade, dip the knife until it contacts the backbone and withdraw theknife through the entry slit making sure that the slit is as small as possible. Allow the hog toremain suspended over the bleeding pit for about 9 minutes before scalding. Sterilize knifeprior to sticking the next animal.

2. Scalding and Dehairing

a. Lower the hog into the scalding vat and, with the use of a pole, push and rotate the hogallowing each area of the body some opportunity to “air” during scalding. After about 3minutes, begin to test for hair slippage over the back and sides by pulling a small tuft of hairout with the fingers. The last hair to slip is that in the region of the rear flanks. The flank is anexcellent location for testing hair slippage.

b. When the hair slips in the flank area, remove the hog from the vat and place it in the dehairingmachine. Allow the hog to remain only so long as hair is being removed, then quickly removethe hog from the vat and move it to the scraping table and continue the hair removal process.

3. Cleaning the Head and Feet and Gambreling

a. The legs, ears, face and jowls are regions where it is difficult to remove hair. Thus, great effortand perseverance must be used to remove hair in these areas. Upon removal of the hog fromthe dehairing machine, hair may be removed effectively from the hog’s legs with a twisting andpulling motion with the hands. When the hair no longer yields to hand pressure, the knife maybe used to remove the remaining hair and scurf. Special attention must be given to the areas ofskin folds, beneath the shackle crease, on the lower feet, and around the snout and lips.

b. The feet are cleaned by removing the toenails, cutting away the soles of the feet and cuttingaround and between the toes. The toenails and dewclaws are pulled by inserting a hook intothe tip of the nail and pulling the nail away from the foot.

c. Expose the gambrel tendons by cutting two parallel incisions through the skin on the backs ofeach hind leg from dewclaws to hock. With the incision made squarely in the center, thetendons will be exposed and the gambrel inserted for subsequent suspension on the rail.

4. Singeing and Shaving

a. The carcass is singed by applying a gas-fired flame directly to the entire skin surface.Singeing removes most of the hair and visualizes the hair that was previously invisible. It isimportant to keep the flame moving to avoid burning the skin.

b. Shave the remaining hair from the carcass with a knife.

c. Wash the animal to remove foreign material on the outside surface before evisceration.

5. Head Removal

Page 9: Pork Slaughter HACCP Plan - adiveter.com · Pork Slaughter HACCP Plan ... Each carcass, head and variety meats Carcass trimmer 1. ... Chilling Carcasses, Heads and Variety Meats

January 6, 2000 Version

a. Insert the knife in the stick opening with the cutting edge up, grasp it with both hands and pullupward, splitting the sternum. The sternum becomes thinner toward the rear edge; exercisecaution when nearing the ventral point to avoid cutting the stomach or intestines.

b. Remove the head by cutting between the atlas vertebra and the occipital condyles. The headshould be removed by cutting just behind the ears, down around the jawbone crease andaround to the chin. The jowls should be left on the carcass. Twist the head in a circularfashion to sever the connections around the occipito-atlantal space or cut through with a knife.

6. Evisceration

a. Loosen the bung by pointing the tip of the knife downward and around the anus (and vulva ingilts). Pull the rectum forward (out), cutting its attachments to the pelvic cavity, tie with astring, and push in downward into the abdominal cavity.

b. Facing the ventral aspect of the hog, score the belly between the hams to the point of the chin.Do not penetrate into the abdominal cavity.

c. If the hog is a barrow, the pizzle (penis) and sheath should be dissected free, but left attached atthe base between the hams.

d. Make a short incision in the upper belly wall, grasp the knife with the thumb on the back of theblade and insert the fist into the body cavity with the blade pointed outward. Push downwardcutting through the belly wall. With the severence of the abdominal wall, the viscera will fallforward and out.

e. Divide the hams down the center of their medial juncture by following the cartilaginous seamto the pelvic symphysis. Split the aitch bone with the point of the knife.

f. Grasp the viscera with the free hand, supporting the intestines with the free forearm. Sever theblood vessel near the top of the liver on the right side to release the liver. Insert the free handbehind the stomach and roll it forward and out. Sever the gullet (esophagus) to release theviscera.

g. Cut around the juncture of the skirts and pillars of the diaphragm with the diaphragmmembrane. Lift the “hanging tender” (pillar) to expose the dorsal aorta, cut across and thenbehind the aorta next to the backbone. Pull downward on the pluck and make two cuts, one oneither side of the first ribs, to free the pluck.

h. Remove the leaf fat by inserting the fingers beneath the layer of fat adhering to the abdominalwall near its juncture with the skirt at the center edge of the belly. Pull the fat upward slowlyuntil the fist can be inserted, then fist the leaf fat to remove it from the belly pocket and hambase. The kidney is removed at the same time and is placed with the viscera for inspection.

7. Splitting and Preparation for Chilling

a. Split through the center of the vertebral column and down the midline with a hand or powersaw. Leave a section of skin attached over the shoulder to balance the carcass on the gambrel.

b. Visually check the carcass for traces of hair or other foreign matter and remove it. Wash thecarcass to remove traces of blood and bone dust from the split vertebrae.

c. Weigh the carcass remembering to use the proper tare for the trolley and gambrel. Record theweight on the sheet and on the tag for the carcass. Place the tag(s) on the carcass.

d. Spray the entire carcass with organic acid for approximately 8 seconds.

e. Move the carcass into the initial or blast chill cooler for overnight chilling.

8. Preparation for Inspection

a. The head is trimmed of any residual hair. Special attention is paid to the areas around the eyesand mouth. The inside portion of the ears and eye lids are removed. The head is washedbefore placing on the head rack.

b. The viscera and pluck are placed on a pan or table and are identified with their carcass.

c. The carcass, head, viscera, and pluck are presented to the inspector for final approval.
