The OSU Dairy Research Center is located on 180 acres just west of campus in Corvallis, Oregon. The main barn was built in 1968 following a fire that destroyed the original barn at the site. The OSU campus in Corvallis has had a dairy facility for over 100 years. In 2012, the milking cows were sold to provide money for needed upgrades to the facility. The Center has "technologies such as pedometers to measure cow activity and an integrated scale for collecting body weights. Probes and meters collect information about each cow at each milking, including milking time; total pounds of milk produced; percentages of milk fat, protein, and lactose; conductivity; and somatic cell count."

SCARC: The Special Collections and Archives Research Center holdings include two collections relating specifically to the Dairy Center; searches for "dairy" and "dairy barn" yield additional results documenting the dairy center complex as a whole.

Oregon Digital: Contains primarily textual materials documenting the Dairy Center, and one image of an exhibit on the Dairy Center's flush system.
