The Meats Laboratory is a meat processing facility, operating under federal inspection, which serves multiple purposes within the College of Agriculture and University Farm. The first priority of the Meats Lab is to serve as an educational facility, where students can gain knowledge of multiple facets of the meat industry through hands on experience by producing a quality and safe product. Livestock animals raised by other units at the University Farm for educational purposes are purchased by the Meats Lab to be harvested, processed, and sold by students under the supervision of the United States Department of Agriculture and a staff meats technician.
