Abstract: A slaughtering installation for processing poultry is adapted to be used in combination with a conveying assembly for conveying poultry which is suspended from their legs in a transport direction. The slaughtering installation comprising a killing device with poultry positioning device for positioning the neck region of the poultry suspended from the conveying assembly, the killing device further comprising cutting device for cutting into the neck and thereby opening at least one blood vessel in the neck region of the poultry. The positioning device comprises a back neck guide along which the back side of the neck of the poultry is guided, and a breast neck guide along which the breast side of the neck of the poultry is guided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for cleaning a carcass part of slaughtered poultry, which carcass part at least still comprises a part of the breast fillet and skin, which skin comprises at least a part of the breast skin, neck skin and skin in the region of transition between the breast skin and neck skin, wherein the breast skin and the skin in the region of transition between the breast skin and neck skin rest at least partly against the muscular tissue of the breast fillet, from which carcass part the muscular tissue of the neck and the neck vertebrae are substantially removed, which system comprises a neck skin removing device which comprises: a gripper for engaging a part of the neck skin that is connected to the rest of the carcass or carcass part, a stretching station, which stretching station is configured to exert a force on the neck skin engaged by the gripper in such a way that the skin in the region of transition between the breast skin and neck skin is stretched and becomes detached from th
