Lafeber Company was built by a father-son team of veterinarians with a shared love of animals and a special passion for birds. Dr. T.J. Lafeber developed the very first commercial, bird-food pellet in the back room of his veterinary clinic in the early 1970s. 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.  LaFeber Foods is our Day 1 sponsor of Jennifer Taylor O'Connor to assist her ongoing research and travel schedule so everyone can maximize their birds' welfare with her knowledge!
