Combined, the cooperative's daily chicken slaughter capacity is about 330,000 birds, from which it processes and sells refrigerated and frozen whole chickens and chicken parts, both domestically and internationally. The company also sells processed fish, beef, pork, and other products. Copacol was established in 1963 by Father Louise Luise and 32 farmers, and today runs nearly two dozen plants in Nova Aurora, Formosa do Oeste, Jesuitas, and Iracema do Oeste.

They may not know why the chicken crossed the road but the folks at Crider apparently have figured out how to get them to climb inside its cans.

Crider's products are supplied to food retailers, including club stores nationwide under branded and private-labels. The Georgia company was founded in 1944 by Ahtee and Emma Lou Crider and is still owned and operated by the founders' descendants.

Family-owned Culver Duck Farms knows the trick to smoking ducks is keeping those eggs lit. The vertically-integrated company hatches close to 3.5 million ducks every year, then processes them into fresh and frozen whole ducks, fillets, sausage, smoked or marinated breasts, and even duck sticks (think jerky). The company also produces chicken products, and barbecue sauces and rubs. Using every bit of their birds, the company also makes soaps from duck oil. Dating back to 1858, Culver Duck Farms sells its products to specialty retailers, the foodservice industry, restaurants, and directly to consumers through its Web site.
