The swine unit is located on the southern edge of the central campus, on California Street.
Access is from the east and prior permission is needed before entering the facility.
The farrowing barn has twenty crates and four nursery pens. The finishing unit has a one-time capacity of 240 head, and the gestation area has twenty outdoor sow pens and twenty boar pens. Basic and applied research in several disciplines is conducted though out the year. The goal of the herd is to farrow 17-20 litters every 12 weeks and wean at 4 weeks of age. The rest are fed to market at the Hog Barn.
