Today, our recipes are developed by his son, Dr. Ted Lafeber III, along with top veterinarians and nutritionists. Our manufacturing facility has always been located on the Lafeber family farmland, and all of our products are mixed, formed, and packaged under one roof. Staying true to our motto —“Caring and working for the health of animals” — we created Veterinary Resources to offer exotic animal veterinarians an ever-growing library of vet-written articles, client education materials, and videos.

Located near Montreal, Quebec, HARI (Hagen Avicultural Research Institute) is a research institute establishment built in 1985 to promote the welfare of the companion birds. Under the direction of Psittacine Aviculturist, Mark Hagen, the constant study of the captive breeding maintenance of these birds has lead to tremendous developments in bird husbandry, nutrition & disease control. One of the major areas of research carried out at HARI focuses on nutrition. Extensive trials have revealed that Tropican has greater nutrient density and digestibility than other diets on the market, which result in better plumage, weight balance, lower consumption, greater metabolic water production and therefore lower water intake, lower urination, pleasant smelling feces and excellent palatability. HARI foods is not only a SPIX MACAW sponsor, but have also committed to joining us in person to let you know the depth of research that goes into their diets! They are committed to helping us all better understand the role parrots with us has in the United States by sponsoring the talk of Steve Duncan! Thank you for your commitment to World Parrot Expo!
