Intestinal applications

From ancient times the warriors used archery in their warfare, which was used to make bowstring. The bowstring was prepared from compacting the intestine of sheep and goats. In addition to the bowstring, they used the string to make the Hallaji bow, the string of sitar, the whip of the cattle, and so on.

 In addition to sheep’s intestines, lamb’s intestines, which are thinner, and finer than sheep’s intestines, are used in the manufacture of surgical sutures, tennis racket strings, strings of sitar and violins, and in some industrial machines.

Seventy years ago, immigrants from the former Soviet Union who specialized in intestinal construction came to Iran and used sheep and goat intestines to export it abroad to cover sausages.

The intestines were made by hand with the help of bamboo wood, which has a special glaze, and by removing an inner skin and an outer skin, it prepared the intestines to be filled with meat.

Sheep and goat intestines were exported to the former Soviet Union and then to the United States and West Germany in their original form. In these countries, the intestine, 12 to 30 mm in diameter, is first calibrated manually and then calibrated with a device similar to a mechanical caliper and filled with water. then The calibers were separated and ready to be filled with meat fillers. Laters, because labor costs were high in the West, a man named Open Heimer traveled from the United States to Turkey and Iran to teach Iranian workers how to calibrate sheep and goat intestines, until the intestines were calibrated according to international standards. The material of Iran’s intestine and quality of its work made them very prosperous and foreign buyers preferred to buy Iranian intestine.

The intestine is processed in 9 stages. The initial weight of the sheep’s intestine is about 2 kg, which reaches 100 g after the process, regiment and processing.

The type of intestines is different in quality, the intestines of cold regions are firmer, and the intestines of sheep have higher quality.

90% of Iranian intestines are exported to European countries, especially Germany. Their prices also vary based on calibers and grades 1 and 2. The intestines of Iran are very famous in the world because the work is done manually by experts with high delicacy and precision.

Heat is one of the most important factors that cause intestinal spoilage and its non-consumption. Bees are another important cause of intestinal damage. If the bee stings the intestine, it will puncture and the it can no longer be used.
It may be thought that the intestine is a waste product, but it has fans around the world and is one of the most lucrative businesses in the world.
