Protein Problem Solver: Improving poultry cone line operations
Fieldale Farms Corp. provides branded and private-label all-natural whole birds, plus cut-up, boneless/skinless chicken parts and trim to an international customer base. The company has built a reputation for producing quality products by its willingness to adopt the latest state-of-the-art equipment, among other corporate strategies. Fieldale Farms’ Murrayville, Ga., facility is one of the first poultry plants to begin using the YieldScan Rapid Frame Analyzer manufactured by Gainco.
Fieldale Farms’ objective was to enhance worker performance and productivity on its deboning lines to maximize the amount of saleable meat while reducing waste. Carrying out traditional scrape tests on frame carcasses wasn’t meeting the challenge.
