Loeffel Meat Laboratory / Animal Science Department

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

The facility handles a broad range of livestock and poultry, including cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, turkeys, and ducks. Its processing work covers everything from red meat slaughter to poultry processing, making it a resource for producers with diverse animals on hand rather than a single species specialty.

Operating within a university animal science program, the lab supports both educational goals and practical processing needs. This dual role can make it a useful option for small farms, hobby flocks, or herds looking for processing done in an academic setting with hands-on animal science oversight. Producers in the area raising mixed livestock or poultry may find the range of species handled here particularly relevant to their operations.
