The Slaughtering Cone is a funnel-shaped restraining device used to hold poultry birds securely and upside-down during the slaughter process. The cone immobilizes the bird's wings and body, exposing the neck for a clean, humane cut while directing blood flow downward for complete and efficient bleeding. Proper bleeding is critical, incomplete bleeding leads to blood-stained meat, reduced shelf life, and poor carcass quality. Using slaughtering cones improves both the welfare of the bird and the quality of the final carcass.
