Quality Control

Abstract In poultry production, quality and quality control require good management throughout the entire production chain to follow performance upgrading and therefore increase profitability, and secondly the achievement of some products appropriate to the standards. People involved in poultry production must realize that the main purpose of the entire production system is customer requirements satisfaction. Improving quality is possible when all the stages of production of poultry meat are incorporated in the quality control methods and those methods are simple and practical. Key words: management, quality, poultry pathway INTRODUCTION Poultry production system for the finished product, poultry must be viewed as an integrated system, from the breeding farms to the food itself. All stages of production affect the quality of meat by their specificity and which, ultimately, may lead to improvement or impairment of quality. Each stage of production is basically a manufacturing process and final product quality and efficiency, in each stage of production, depends on the quality of raw materials, degree of staff training, specific consumption and technology with which are working. Quality control must begin with inputs control at each stage of production (raw materials for feed, hatching egg quality, quality day old chicks, feed quality, etc.) and must be maintained throughout the entire production process.. A poultry pathway is composed of the following: manufacturer of hybrid (genetic), producer of hatching eggs, hatching, farming of laying hens / broilers farms, nutrition (feed mill combined) the veterinary services, slaughter (collection stations, packaging); processing - packaging - distribution - sales meat consumer. These stages affect each in part the meat quality, ultimately resulting in improved quality or its depreciation. Each stage of production is basically a manufacturing process and final product quality and efficiency in each stage of production depend on the quality of raw materials, degree of staff training, specific consumption and technology with which are working. Quality is given by a complex of features, namely: ? usage features: specific consumption, duration of consumption, consumption volume; ? attributes: brand names, requirements related services; ? symbolic content (consumer and even companies buy at the same time with the merchandise certain symbols): power, freedom, comfort, performance, etc; ? quality characteristics: components / composition, technical and functional characteristics, safety features
