Poultry refers to domesticated birds such as chicken, turkey, duck and quail that are used as food. Game refers to wild birds such as pheasants that are hunted for food. There are several classifications of poultry based on factors like age, sex and weight including broilers, roasters, capons, hens and roosters. Preparing poultry for cooking involves slaughtering, scalding, defeathering, evisceration and cutting or deboning. Poultry is high in protein and provides vitamins, minerals and trace amounts of fat.

19. Nutritive Value/Components of
Poultry and Game
22.6% protein
76.3% water and traces of
fat, vitamins and minerals

20. Poultry meat consist of dark and
white muscles.
1.Dark Muscles – are those found in
parts of fowl’s body which are always
used.

21. Dark Muscles of Poultry
These are the legs, thigh,
wings, neck and rib cage.

22. Poultry meat consist of dark and
white muscles
1. Dark Muscles are richer in fat,
have more connective tissues
and have higher riboflavin and
myoglobin content.

23. Riboflavin is a vitamin that is needed
for growth and overall good health.
It helps the body break down
carbohydrates, proteins and fats to
produce energy, and it allows oxygen to
be used by the body.

24. Myoglobin (symbol Mb or MB) is an iron- and oxygen-
binding protein found in the muscle tissue of vertebrates
in general and in almost all mammals. It is
distantly related to hemoglobin[5] which is the iron- and
oxygen-binding protein in blood, specifically in the red
blood cells. In humans, myoglobin is only found in the
bloodstream after muscle injury.

25. Myoglobin is the primary oxygen-
carrying pigment of muscle tissues. High
concentrations of myoglobin in muscle cells
allow organisms to hold their breath for a
longer period of time. Diving mammals such
as whales and seals have muscles with
particularly high abundance of myoglobin.

26. Poultry meat consist of dark and
white muscles
2. White meat – it is simply
the breast of the chicken.

27. Variety meats of poultry and
game
Refers to the meat of such
organs as the gizzard, heart,
kidneys and liver.

28. Preparation of poultry for
cooking
1. Slaughtering and bleeding
2. Scalding
3. Defeathering
4. Evisceration
5. Deboning/Cutting

29. Preparation of poultry for cooking
1. Slaughter and bleeding - the killing of
animals for food.

30. Slaughter and bleeding

31. Preparation of poultry for cooking
2. Scalding - immerse (something) briefly
in boiling water for various purposes, such
as to facilitate the removal of skin from fruit
or to preserve meat.

32. Scalding

33. Preparation of poultry for cooking
3. Defeathering – removing of feather.

34. Defeathering

35. Preparation of poultry for cooking
4. Evisceration – removing of viscera or
internal organs.

36. 4. Evisceration

37. Preparation of poultry for cooking
5. Deboning – removing of bones.

38. Deboning

39. Classification of Chicken
Group Activity: Each group will be given a set of
sentences and materials. Each set contains
classification of chicken and their definitions. Each
group are asks to identify the correct definition of the
each classification of poultry. This group activity will
require a leader for each group who will present your
output in front of the class. These activity will last for
only 5 minutes.

40. Chickens and other poultry may
be divided into classes which are
essentially of the same physical
characteristics associated with
age, sex, live weight and/or
breed.

41. 1. Broiler or Fryer
A broiler or fryer is young chicken, usually 9
to 12 weeks of age, of either sex, is tender-
meat with soft, pliable, smooth-textured skin.
a young chicken suitable for roasting,
grilling, or barbecuing.

42. Broiler or Fryer

43. 2. Roaster
A roaster is usually 5 to 6 months of age.
Chickens less than 8 months old and
weighing 3 1/2 to 5 pounds

44. Roaster

45. 3. Capon
A capon is a surgically desexed male
chicken usually under 8 months of age.

46. Capons
Since they’ve been castrated, capons don’t develop
in the normal way of a hormone-crazy chicken
teenager. They grow more slowly and put on more
body fat. Because of this, their meat is more tender
and flavorful than that of any other chicken of the
same weight. Capons are great for roasting but can
also be used for braises and poaching.

47. 4. Stag
A stag is a male chicken, usually under 10
months of age, with coarse skin, with somewhat
toughened and darkened flesh.

48. 5. Hen or Stewing Chicken
It is a mature female chicken which is
usually more than 10 months of age. It can
also be a called layer.
Chickens (usually hens) over 10 months old
and weighing 5 to 7 pounds

49. 5. Hen or Stewing Chicken

50. 6. Cock or Rooster
It is a mature male chicken with coarse skin,
toughened and darkened meat and hardened
breastbone tip.
Male chickens over 10 months old weighing 6
to 8 pounds

51. Cock or Rooster

52. 7. Jumbo Broiler
This is a large chicken about 4
kg. dressed weight which are on
sale especially during the
Christmas holiday.
