ASU Food Safety and Product Development Lab

ASU Food Safety and Product Development Lab provides slaughter and processing services in San Angelo, Texas, serving the Concho Valley region within reach of San Antonio. Operated through Angelo State University, the facility works with cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs, offering harvesting and processing support for producers throughout West Texas.

The lab combines academic research with hands-on meat science, giving ranchers and small-scale producers access to processing capabilities often limited to larger commercial operations. Its work touches on food safety practices and product development, making it a resource for those looking to understand handling and processing standards from farm to finished product.

For herd owners, hobby farmers, or anyone raising livestock in the surrounding counties, having a university-affiliated processing option nearby can simplify logistics around harvest season. The lab's presence in San Angelo reflects the broader agricultural economy of the region, where cattle, sheep, goat, and pig production remain central to local livelihoods.
