The Meat Lab is part of the Department of Animal Science and is used for teaching and research activities. It is a 5000-square-foot facility containing a multi-species kill floor, carcass coolers, processing room, cutting room, analytical lab, classroom, and freezers.
The Meat Lab is run by Caleb Sehnert, who performs the daily functions of the Meat Lab along with teaching duties. There is one student employee responsible for plant sanitation. Students receive hands-on training in slaughter, fabrication, sanitation, and further processing of meat and meat products while they are enrolled in Animal Science 49 and internship programs at the Meat Lab. During most quarters there are approximately 20 students working in those classes.
