    History

    Three side-by-side pictures show the meat lab at UW-Madison in 1930, 1960, and 1970. Starting at one story, the lab had grown to two stories by 1960 and three stories by 1970.

    1930

    1930: The first meat lab at UW Madison is constructed near the Stock Pavilion under the direction of Gus Bohstedt.

    The original meat lab constructed at UW Madison was a one story limestone colored brick building with a chimney on one corner. The building has many trees around it and a period car is parked outside.

    Researchers could now obtain tissue, analyze the composition of carcasses, and better understand their work.

    1938: The first meat science course “Meat Production and Carcass Value” to be taught at UW Madison is held in the new meat lab.
