The lab has primarily been a meat science lab for proximate analysis, but the new lab manager, Katie Hargrove, said services have been expanded to include mineral and fiber analysis, and nitrate testing. It is located in Weber Hall on the Manhattan campus. Among the tests offered are moisture and dry matter content, crude protein, calculated total digestible nutrient analyses and more.

More information is available on the website or by contacting Hargrove via email or by calling (785) 532-1276.  end mark
