ABSTRACT
In Brazil, the aviculture has been gaining more prominence, conquering new
markets and making the consumption of poultry meat is increasing. Consumers are
increasingly demanding with regard to product quality, which means that all sectors of
the production chain poultry business worry in use techniques and methodologies to
attend these new demands. The poultry slaughter is a very important step inside the
production process, because at this moment any error in the management, since the
capture of animals until the end of slaughter, can seriously compromise the produtct
quality, which ends up generating economic impacts for both, producers and consumers
to. This work, aims presents a flowchart with main rules and laws related with poultry
slaughter, showing all stages of this process, since the time before slaughter (catch and
transport of animals), until the end of slaughter. Much of the research in this area are
carried out of Brazil, and its technologies are adapted to our conditions. Thus, it is
necessary to carry out more studies in our country.
Key words: chicken meat, flowchart, slaughterhouse.
