Q

removal of the hide in cattle and carabao

A

flaying or skinning

70
Q

wrapping the carcass w/ cheese cloth.
cloth soaked in lukewarm water and wrapped around the carcass while its warm. the cloth absorbs the remaining blood at surface of the carcass, smoothens the interval fat covering, causes fat to appear white and dense and prevents excessive shrinkage and oxidation.

shrouding

71
Q

2 methods of slaughtering in goats

A
  1. singed method

2. flayed method

72
Q

after stunning and sticking, this method is done w/ either blow torch or an open fire.
the hairs continously scraped w/ a dull knife until the hairs are all burned.
the belly must be pinched to avoid bursting of whole belly cavity.
after this method, the canked skin is sliced off for the preparation of kilawin. evisceration is done similar w/ that cattle.

A

singed method

73
Q

the process of stunning and sticking in the singed method is followed but the skin is not utilized for food. the removal of fleece or flaying is made slightly different from that in cattle and carabao. be sure not to allow meat to come in contact w/ hairs to avoid imparting goat odor to meat. evisceration and chilling in goats are similar w/ that in cattle except that in goats, splitting of the carcass is not done
