Beef Systems Center of Excellence

The Beef Systems Center of Excellence provides “plate to gate” research, teaching, and outreach programs.

The “plate to gate” concept will directly link consumer research to product development in the area of beef and beef products. The Center of Excellence has three objectives:

1) Enhance NDSU’s ability to provide cutting edge meat science research;

2) Provide training, educational, and outreach opportunities in slaughter, beef processing, food safety, and further processing; and

3) Create a model for development of a coordinated beef processing industry which could be implemented in other parts of the state, region, or country.
