In keeping with the university’s agricultural roots, MSU’s Beef Cattle Research and Teaching Center works to benefit beef cattle producers and ultimately Michigan consumers.
Many of the research projects deal with cattle nutrition and investigate methods to increase productivity of Michigan feedlots.
The center also provides classroom instruction space for veterinary, undergraduate and graduate students learning to use related technology and proper animal-care techniques.
The unit, visited by tour groups from all over the world, offers undergraduate students exposure to the daily routine of a commercial-size feedlot through a part-time employment program.
