Animal Husbandry Is Our Top Priority

At LAMPIRE, exceptional animal care is the foundation of our mission. Our staff adheres to the highest standards of husbandry, ensuring that each animal receives proper nutrition through a carefully regulated diet and is observed twice daily for overall health and well-being. Animals are housed in clean, secure environments protected from outdoor elements, with controlled light/dark cycles and clear visibility to support early identification of any health concerns. Our dedicated animal care teams and on-staff veterinarians work together to maintain the health, comfort, and safety of every animal in our care. All facilities undergo rigorous inspection, both internally through our Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) and externally by the USDA and AAALAC, ensuring compliance with all applicable animal welfare regulations and guidelines.

We firmly believe that exceptional animal care leads to exceptional products.
