Abstract:
A Two-Stage Poultry Carcass Shredder of 120 Kg/hr capacity was design and construction to shred
the poultry carcass to get animal feeds thereby solving problems associated with wastes from
poultry slaughter houses like chicken carcass, feathers, beads which take up the highest percentage.
The machine consists of the following main components; hopper. two-shredding chambers with
cutters, shafts, electric motor. It was evaluated to perform. The results obtained show that the
machine has an efficiency of 75%. Sustainable waste management is important in obtaining a
cleaner, environmentally mindful society. The shredding process enhances size reduction thus
increasing surface area which makes it easy to dry the product and process it further so as to
incorporate it in animal feeds.
