Loeffel Meat Laboratory / Animal Science Department

Loeffel Meat Laboratory, part of the Animal Science Department, provides processing services in Lincoln, Nebraska, serving the wider Southeast Nebraska region near Omaha.

The facility handles slaughter and processing for cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs, along with poultry processing for chickens, turkeys, and ducks. As a teaching and research operation connected to the university's animal science program, it supports a range of livestock and poultry work under one roof, making it a practical option for producers needing multiple species handled without traveling to separate facilities.

This kind of setup often suits small farms, 4-H and FFA projects, or local producers looking to process a mixed group of animals in one visit. Because it operates within an academic department, the lab also reflects current teaching practices in meat science, which can be useful context for anyone curious about how their animals are processed from start to finish.
