LIVE GOOSE PROCESSING

USDA APHIS Wildlife Services, Colorado

Work Requirements:

The U. S. Department of Agricultural (USDA) Animal Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Wildlife Services (WS) program is looking to create a contract with one meat processing facility to process Canada Geese in the State of Colorado. The processing facility or facilities shall be “Custom Processing facilities” permitted and licensed by the Colorado Department of Agriculture to process meat. The processor shall be provided “Guidelines for Slaughter and Processing of Canada Geese for Human Consumption” provided by USDA Wildlife Services for informational purposes.

The USDA APHIS WS staff from Colorado shall deliver Canada Geese to the processing facility from one to five days per week from about June 15 –July 15. The processor shall allow the USDA –WS to deliver the geese during normal business hours Monday through Friday. The geese will be euthanized by the facility. The immediate need is for a processing facility on the Front Range (Interstate 25 corridor), CO, in order to have reasonable travel time in delivering geese to the processing facility and return to Lakewood, CO. The total estimated quantity of goose processing is 1,250 – 2,250 geese per year. An individual processor may be tasked with processing 1,000 – 2,250 geese annually, depending on where geese are captured in proximity to the processing facility. The processor is only required to process goose breast meat, not the entire bird or plucking.

Goose meat shall be processed and wrapped. Meat shall be placed in packages weighing about one pound. The packaged meat shall be frozen. Each package of meat shall be marked with the processing plant’s name and marked “not for sale.” Wildlife Services shall provide a label with its name, address, and migratory bird permit number to be placed on the packaged meat. The label provided by Wildlife Services shall also have a safe handling statement, and steel shot advisory statement.

The processor shall be responsible for the disposal of all waste byproducts from the processing of geese.

Canada Geese and/or their parts will not be released, transported, or transferred to any other individual or entity. Any parts remaining after processing may not be retained or utilized for any purpose.

The processing facility shall maintain a copy of the goose harvest information for the period of one year and shall allow for inspection by the USDA-WS with reasonable advance notice.

The USDA-WS shall advise the processing facility which charitable organization(s) will be provided the goose meat. USDA-WS will facilitate transfer of the packaged goose breast to the charitable organization.

The processing facility shall provide an invoice for processing services to the USDA-WS after each group of geese is processed or at the conclusion of the processing season, in late July each year.
