Lafayette Instrument provides a range of highly specialized feeders designed for operant conditioning, behavioral neuroscience, and automated research environments. Lafayette solutions support researchers and laboratories working with rodents, pigeons and other small animals through feeders integrated into their modular operant conditioning systems. These include pellet dispensers engineered for precise delivery of standard 20 mg or 45 mg food pellets, ensuring consistent reinforcement timing and minimal jamming during high‑throughput experiments. Many of these feeders are built into, or compatible with, Lafayette’s modular mouse and rat operant chambers, allowing seamless synchronization with levers, press bars, nose‑poke modules, and stimulus devices. Additionally, Lafayette offers liquid reinforcement systems, such as controlled‑volume liquid dispensers, which provide accurate delivery of sucrose solutions or other liquid rewards commonly used in motivation and learning studies. Together, these feeder types support a wide spectrum of behavioral paradigms—from simple fixed‑ratio tasks to complex cognitive assays—making Lafayette Instrument a comprehensive provider of reinforcement hardware for modern behavioral research. Reward yourself with the feeding solution you need.
