1,USDA/FSIS Guidelines:

• The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has published guidelines for the use of knives and other equipment in poultry processing facilities.
• These guidelines suggest blade lengths and shapes that are suitable for different tasks, such as using shorter, more maneuverable blades for delicate work and longer blades for whole bird dressing.

2,Industry Best Practices:

• Many poultry processing industry associations and organizations have developed best practice guidelines that recommend knife specifications for various processing tasks.
• These guidelines take into account factors like the size and anatomy of different poultry species, as well as the need for precision, control, and worker ergonomics.

3,Manufacturer Recommendations:

• Poultry processing knife manufacturers often provide recommendations for the appropriate blade length, width, and shape based on the specific tasks and applications.
• They may also offer guidance on handle size and design to ensure optimal comfort and control for workers.

4,Facility-Specific Standards:

• Individual poultry processing facilities may have their own internal standards and guidelines for knife selection, taking into account the unique requirements of their operations, equipment, and workforce.
• These facility-specific standards help ensure consistency and safety throughout the processing line.

5,Worker Feedback and Preferences:
