| This laboratory has been designed to support intensive teaching and research
activities involving the use of cattle, pigs, sheep and goats. The facility
complements existing classroom and laboratory activities in the Animal
Sciences Building, and the largescale animal facilities at the Arlington,
Spooner and Lancaster Agricultural Research Stations. This building enables
faculty to give students contact with animals during the available time
in their busy class schedules. It also facilitates experimentation which
necessarily requires that animals and samples from animals be in close
proximity to the analytical equipment which is located in the Animal Sciences
Building. Unique capabilities of this building include intensive research
rooms for farm animal species, a surgery room, a neonatal pig room and
a flush system for movement of animal wastes into a central tank. Animal
space has been designed to accommodate more than one species and to satisfy
the stringent federal requirements for care of livestock used in teaching
and research programs.
