poultry processing



     In Missouri, there is only one custom poultry processor and they have 
     not taken on any new clients for many years.  Because of this and the 
     increase in the number of farmers raising chicken and other poultry, 
     there has been a group of these farmers who have gotten together to 
     express their concerns about processing of their birds.  They are 
     interested in finding information about a mobile poultry processing 
     truck.  
     
     Is anyone familar with such an operation in their state?  If so, what 
     type of unit is the processing truck?  What kind of equipment is 
     needed?  What regulations and restrictions (Dept of Health and others) 
     apply to this type of operation?
     
     Any help or guidance on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
