The Meat Science Laboratory (MSL) introduces students to the production, judging, quality, and marketing of meats. The facility includes equipment needed to harvest cattle, sheep, and swine; store and age their meats; and conduct research in meat and muscle biology.

Faculty members and staff of the Meat Science Lab actively engage in community outreach, including hosting workshops for 4-H, other youth organizations, and commercial meat processors. The Meat Science Lab also operates the meat and eggs sales room that is open to the general public.
