In a typical process, the birds are hung by the feet on a conveyor and are first passed through a vat of electrified salt water called a stun cabinet. About 20 birds occupy the stun cabinet at one time, and they remain in the water for about seven seconds. The mild electrical current in the water stuns or paralyses the birds. Next, the birds are conveyed to an automatic neck cutter-rotating blades that sever the two carotid arteries. The birds' carcasses hang until all the blood has drained.

From there they go on to the plucking and evisceration process.
