Texas Tech University, Gordon W. Davis Meat Science Laboratory

Texas Tech University's Gordon W. Davis Meat Science Laboratory provides slaughter and processing services in Lubbock, Texas, serving the South Plains region within reach of Amarillo. The facility handles cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs alongside poultry processing for chickens, turkeys, and ducks, giving the lab a broad scope across both red meat and poultry species.

As part of Texas Tech's animal science programs, the laboratory supports teaching, research, and hands-on training alongside its processing work. This dual purpose means the facility operates with academic oversight while still meeting the practical needs of producers who require slaughter and cut-and-wrap services for a range of livestock and poultry.

Farmers, small-scale breeders, and local flock or herd owners in the surrounding West Texas area may find this combination of species versatility and university-affiliated processing useful for both commercial and educational purposes. The lab's connection to Texas Tech also means processing decisions are informed by current meat science curriculum and food safety training standards taught on campus.
