In the process, of skinning and tanning of Crocodile leather, they are cut to avoid nicking of skin and contact between carcass meat and the outer surface of skin. Carcass is then placed on the skinning table with head tied in a plastic bag to prevent contamination.
Lot of care is taken while cutting the crocodiles as this determines the quality of final product. Then meat and fat is removed from the skin with the help of water and after that the skin is drained in the shade for 30 minutes and it becomes ready for salting.
The rates of the skin are based on the width of the belly skin, scale pattern and the absence of abrasions or cuts to the skin.
Skins are salted and dried for two days to remove excess moisture to prevent spoilage from micro-organisms. Then skins are rolled with legs and flanks inside and stacked in Hessian-lined wax cartons or polystyrene cartons and finally kept inside cold room until sold. They are used to make crocodile leather tables and other products.  |
