The formed sausage casings are sealed and are used in the water to provide an olfactory stimulus to attract crabs and lobsters.
- Each patent outlines an important process used to produce bait for fish and crustaceans. Only the process described in the Stribling et al. patent addresses the use of poultry waste as bait for fish and crustaceans. That process is further limited in using only skeletal remains. What is really needed is a process that I produces a broader range of poultry waste into bait for fish and crustaceans. Such a process could also utilize more sophisticated technology then that outlined in the processes described in the previous patents.
- None of the above inventions and patents, taken either singly or in combination, is seen to describe the instant invention as claimed.
- The invention is a process for making bait from poultry waste unfit for human consumption, for aquatic food sources such as fish, crab, conch, eel, shrimp, lobster, crayfish, etc. The poultry waste is picked up from chicken farms and poultry processing plants in refrigerated or frozen containers and is forwarded to a processing plant. The poultry waste is processed to eliminate any remaining feathers and internal organs and, optionally, to remove the skin. The breast portions of the poultry waste are removed and separated and are processed according to various specific client requirements in the fishing and crabbing industries.

- It is another object of the invention to provide a process that successfully utilizes irradiation technology for sterilizing poultry waste.
- It is a further object of the invention to provide a process that successfully utilizes ultra high hydrostatic pressure for sterilizing poultry waste.
- Still another object of the invention is to provide a source of bait for aquatic food sources such as fish, crab, conch, eel, shrimp, lobster, crayfish, etc..
- It is an object of the invention to provide improved elements and arrangements thereof in an apparatus for the purposes described which is inexpensive, dependable and fully effective in accomplishing its intended purposes.
- These and other objects of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings.
- FIG. 1 is a process flowchart for a method for making bait for aquatic food sources according to the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a diagram of an irradiation facility used in the first embodiment of the inventive process.
- FIG. 3 is a diagram of an ultra high pressure batch production chamber used in the second embodiment of the inventive process.
- Similar reference characters denote corresponding features consistently throughout the attached drawings.
- The present invention is a method for making bait food from unusable poultry waste for aquatic food sources such as fish, crab, conch, eel, shrimp, lobster and crayfish10, as outlined in FIG. 1.
- The method includes receiving the unusable poultry waste, removing remaining feathers and internal organs from the poultry waste, removing breasts from the poultry waste, processing the poultry waste based on specific client requirements, packaging the poultry waste, sterilizing the poultry waste and sending the poultry waste to a distribution center.
- The first step of the method involves receiving the unusable poultry waste. This waste takes the form of dead poultry from poultry farms and condemned poultry parts from poultry processing plants. The unusable poultry waste is put into refrigerated or freezer containers and is picked up and forwarded to a processing plant, where all of the poultry of usable size is processed to remove the remaining feathers and internal organs and, optionally, skin, which is the second step of the method.
- The third step involves removing the breast portions from the remaining poultry waste. This is actually part of the next step of the method10, which is processing the poultry waste based on specific client requirements. The breasts can be left intact and used for bait by individual fisherman, who will slice the meat from the breast bone into usable pieces or can remove the breast bone all together and slice the remaining breast meat into usable pieces. The instant contemplates this processing of the waste poultry (de-boning, slicing, etc.) as part of the inventive method.
- The remaining carcasses that are left intact can also be used. Carcasses that are collected with the breasts removed and left intact are used for bait in the conch and eel fishing industry. These carcasses can also be pieced and separated into leg, thigh, wing, back and neck sections for other type of marine-based bait.
- Once processing has been done according to various specific client requirements, the various forms of poultry waste are packaged, using conventional packaging techniques that are well-known to those schooled in the art. Once the various forms of poultry waste are packaged, the waste is then sterilized in their respective packaging. This is done to convert the poultry waste into a product that will have an acceptable shelf life and be free of pathogenic microorganisms such as Salmonella andE. Coli that are associated with foodborne diseases.
- This process utilizes two methods of sterilization, each associated with a separate embodiment of the inventive process. The first embodiment of the method is irradiation, which is outlined in FIG. 2. The second embodiment of the method is the use of ultra high pressure hydrostatic treatment, which is outlined in FIG. 3.
- An
irradiation facility 20 used to sterilize packaged poultry waste comprises an irradiating room 21 to expose packaged poultry waste, aconveyor system 22 to transport the poultry waste into and out of the irradiating room 21, a storage pool 23 to hold aradiation source 24 for the irradiating room 21 and aloading entrance 25 and anunloading exit 26 to load and unload the packaged poultry waste. - The packaged poultry waste is loaded at the
entrance area 25 of theirradiation facility 20, where it is then placed on theconveyor system 22 that runs throughout theirradiation facility 20. The packaged poultry waste is then sent into the irradiation room 21, which is surrounded by a radiation shield 27 which contains the radiation within the irradiation room 21. The radiation shield 27 consists of thick concrete walls and a thick concrete ceiling to confine the radiation within the irradiation room 21. - The
radiation source 24 is cobalt 60, which is kept underground in the storage pool 23 and is pumped into the irradiation room 21. The cobalt 60 is exposed to the poultry waste while it is in its packaging. The packaged poultry waste then continues on theconveyor system 22, where it is then sent to theexit 26 to be unloaded. - The radiation used by the cobalt60 is considered to be relatively low level radiation. The
irradiation facility 20 is also subject to the strict regulatory guidelines to ensure safe operation. It is noted that the poultry waste may be frozen for the irradiation process. FIG. 1 shows that it is frozen before irradiation in the preferred embodiment; however, the invention contemplates freezing at another time or not at all. - FIG. 3 depicts a batch
hydrostatic pressure system 30, which is the second embodiment inventive process used to sterilize poultry waste. An ultrahigh pressure chamber 31 is used to expose packaged poultry waste to ultra high water pressure 33 (approximately 80,000 PSI). The packaged poultry waste is placed in special permeable bags 32 containing at least one elastic interface, with the packaged poultry waste being placed in the ultrahigh pressure chamber 31 and being exposed to ultra high pressure water 33. - More specifically, the ultra
high pressure chamber 31 is used for batch processing application of the ultra high water pressure technology. There is also a semi-continuous process application of the ultra high water technology designed for treatment of more pumpable materials. - FIG. 1 shows that in the preferred embodiment, the waste is frozen after the hydrostatic treatment. As above, the invention contemplates freezing at another time (although freezing before sterilization may reduce its effectiveness) or not at all. Waste sterilized in this manner may then be re-packaged (as the semi-permeable bag is not appropriate for distribution) for distribution.
- It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the sole embodiments described above, but encompasses any and all embodiments within the scope of the following claims.
