​​​The Meat Industry Centre​ is equipped with a D15 experimental research abattoir w​ith deboning and processing facilities that accommodates research projects developing techniques or procedures that could otherwise not be performed in normal commercial abattoirs. The re​gistered Animal Production Abattoir provides a controlled environment for researchers to standardise procedure​s.  We slaughter and debone cattle, sheep, goats and pigs and can facilitate any project where slaughter, deboning and sampling of the carcass is involved. The abattoir has a fully qualified abattoir and deboning team with an average of 20 years of experience. The abattoir is operated as a business whereby surplus meat from research projects is sold at the ARC-​AP shop for ARC staff.​
