TAILIEUCHUNG - Energetic Analysis of Poultry Processing Operations

This study was conducted as part of a 4-year project funded by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. The project forms a partnership of environmental health scientists, health care providers, a community-based organization (Centro Latino of Caldwell County), and poultry workers to document the physical and psychosocial impacts of poultry employment on Latinoworkers inwestern North Carolina, and to develop ways of assisting workers individually and collectively in protecting themselves from the demands of this work. Prior to the survey described here, study personnel engaged in formative research that included in-depth interviews with workers and community leaders. This formative research, plus strong ties to the community through Centro Latino, helped provide access. | Leonardo Journal of Sciences ISSN 1583-0233 Issue 10 January-June 2007 p. 77-92 Energetic Analysis of Poultry Processing Operations Simeon Olatayo JEKAYINFA Department of Agricultural Engineering Ladoke Akintola University of Technology . 4000 Ogbomoso Oyo State Nigeria jekaysol@ Abstract Energy audit of three poultry processing plants was conducted in southwestern Nigeria. The plants were grouped into three different categories based on their production capacities. The survey involved all the five easily defined unit operations utilized by the poultry processing industry and the experimental design allowed the energy consumed in each unit operation to be measured. The results of the audit revealed that scalding defeathering is the most energy intensive unit operation in all the three plant categories averagely accounting for about 44 of the total energy consumption in the processing plants. Other processing operations consuming energy in the following order are eviscerating slaughtering 17 washing chilling 16 and packing 6 . The results of the study clearly indicated that the least mechanized of the plants consumed the highest energy MJ followed by the semi-mechanized plant MJ and the most mechanized plant MJ . The energy audits have provided baseline information needed for carrying out budgeting forecasting energy requirements and planning plant expansion in the poultry processing industries in the study area.
