Environmental enrichment

Environmental Enrichment (EE) is an easy and efficient way of enhancing animal welfare in any species.

As the importance of improving animal welfare has grown in significance, so has the range of EE products that LBS have assembled over the years.

Today it is one of the most comprehensive and extensive available. This has been achieved by working closely with our customers, animal keepers and carers, animal industry professionals, academics and students, to identify effective ways of providing the essential stimulus and activity required by animals living in the laboratory environment.
