H. H. Leveck Animal Research Center
The Leveck Animal Research Center is made up of some 1100+ acres that lies just south of the Mississippi State University campus. The center is dedicated to livestock and forage production research. The largest percentage of acres on the center are dedicated to beef research and support of the base beef cattle herds. The second largest area on the center is the horse unit. The research and breeding program continues to grow along with the equine industry in the state.
This facility also houses the Poultry Science Research, Aquaculture Research area, a bird facility, and an observatory maintained and used by the Physics Department.
The Research Support Staff on the South Farm is responsible for land, labor, and equipment to aid research scientists in implementing their research projects. They are also responsible for forage production grounds, water lines, perimeter fences and exteriors of buildings. |
