After bleeding, the carcass is lowered into the scalding tank filled with water at around +60 °C (140 °F). After a few minutes, the carcass is removed and the hair is scraped off manually.

CONT

Lors de l'abattage des porcins, on utilise souvent l'assommage électrique (l'emploi de gaz de dioxyde de carbone étant aussi une option possible). Dans les petites opérations, le porc est hissé pour être saigné. Après la saignée, la carcasse est mise à bas et déposée dans un bac d'échaudage rempli d'eau à environ +60 °C (140 °F).
