60,000 t/year poultry feed mill — planning tool to contracted scope
Documented walkthrough of how a commercial poultry producer used the FeedMatch capacity calculator and RFQ planner to turn an annual tonnage target into an effective capacity, a written requirement and six quotations that could finally be compared line by line. Figures are the worked example produced by the published tools, not a client disclosure.
Read case studyUnited Kingdom — 40,000 t/year poultry and ruminant feed mill RFQ
A UK buyer scenario worked end to end with the published FeedMatch capacity calculator and RFQ planner: a mixed poultry and ruminant mill on a brownfield site in the English Midlands, sized from the annual plan, then issued as one written feed mill RFQ. Every figure below is reproducible in the tools on this site; it is a worked example, not a client disclosure.
500,000-bird broiler integration — Nigeria
Illustrative scenario: sourcing 12 climate-controlled broiler houses with European feeding & drinking lines, tunnel ventilation and pad cooling for a West African integrator scaling regional production.
Layer farm expansion — Saudi Arabia
Illustrative scenario: sourcing enriched colony cages, manure belts and egg-belt collection to integrate with an operator's existing climate control and expand a 600k-bird facility without production interruption.
Complete turnkey poultry farm — Kenya
Illustrative scenario: a greenfield turnkey project including house structures, equipment, installation, commissioning and operator training, with equipment sourced from Turkey and the Netherlands and on-site supervision.
Cage-free layer conversion — Spain
Illustrative scenario: conversion of conventional cages to an aviary multi-tier system with new nest boxes, perches and egg belts to meet EU welfare and retailer cage-free commitments.
Multi-stage hatchery — Vietnam
Illustrative scenario: sourcing and integration of single-stage setters and hatchers, automated transfer and chick handling for a national breeder hatchery serving Southeast Asia.
Broiler processing plant — Türkiye
Illustrative scenario: full processing line — stunning, scalding, plucking, evisceration, air chilling and cut-up — for a Turkish integrator expanding export capacity to EU and MENA markets.
300,000-bird broiler complex — Morocco
Illustrative scenario: greenfield 8-house tunnel-ventilated broiler complex for a North African integrator supplying domestic retail and QSR channels. Sourcing covered climate control, feeding/drinking lines, silos and standby power.
500,000-hen layer farm — Egypt
Illustrative scenario: 5-house enriched colony layer farm feeding a shell-egg packing center. Sourcing covered A-frame colony cages, manure belts, egg-belt collection and central climate control.
Egg grading & packing center — Jordan
Illustrative scenario: central grading and packing facility receiving eggs from 3 upstream layer farms. Sourcing covered in-line grader, printer, packer, egg washer/dryer and cold room.
Broiler hatchery — Uzbekistan
Illustrative scenario: single-stage broiler hatchery for a Central Asian integrator. Sourcing covered setters, hatchers, egg-handling automation, chick processing and HVAC.
Integrated feed mill — Ghana
Illustrative scenario: turnkey 20 t/h pelleted feed mill supplying an integrator's broiler and layer flocks across southern Ghana. Sourcing covered raw-material intake, hammer mill, mixer, pellet press, cooler, bagging and bulk out-loading, with soybean and maize handled locally alongside imported additives.
Broiler breeder (parent stock) farm — Colombia
Illustrative scenario: greenfield parent-stock rearing + laying complex for a Colombian integrator supplying its own hatchery in the Antioquia region. Sourcing covered slat + litter housing, chain feeders for males, pan feeders for females, community nests with egg belts, and separate rearing houses with grading equipment.
Commercial turkey grow-out farm — Poland
Illustrative scenario: 6-house commercial turkey grow-out complex supplying an EU-approved processing plant. Sourcing covered heavy-duty pan feeders, high-flow drinker lines, EU-welfare-compliant density and enrichment, and biomass heating tied to district agricultural waste supply.
TMR precision feeding for 1,800 dairy cows — Netherlands
Illustrative scenario: converting a 1,800-cow Dutch dairy from twice-daily mixer wagons to a fully automated TMR (Total Mixed Ration) kitchen with weighed loading, in-parlour concentrate top-up and a robotic feed pusher, targeting a 1.2 L/day milk uplift and lower feed refusals.
Atlantic salmon smolt RAS feeding programme — Norway
Illustrative scenario: post-smolt land-based RAS facility standardising a full extruded salmon-feed programme with automated distribution, waste-feed detection cameras and per-tank pellet-size stepping to hit target smolt weights before sea transfer.
Nile tilapia cage culture feeding — Egypt
Illustrative scenario: switching a Nile Delta tilapia cage farm from hand-broadcast sinking pellets to boat-mounted automated feeders with floating extruded feed, unified across a 96-cage cluster to standardise ration control and cut feed waste.
Whiteleg shrimp biofloc feeding — Ecuador
Illustrative scenario: intensifying a coastal whiteleg shrimp farm with acoustic-triggered automatic pond feeders, sinking crumble-to-pellet ladder feed and biofloc management, targeting a 25% harvest uplift per hectare.
Swine liquid feeding kitchen for 6,000 finishers — Denmark
Illustrative scenario: Danish finisher unit installing a full liquid-feed kitchen with load-cell mixing, whey and bakery by-product intake and phase-fed rations, targeting lower feed cost per kg gain and improved gut health via fermented cereal streams.
Beef feedlot precision TMR — Argentina
Illustrative scenario: Pampas feedlot rolling out truck-mounted weighed TMR delivery, bunk-reading protocols and a phased corn-silage → high-grain ration ladder for 25,000 head, aimed at cutting cost per kg gain and eliminating acidosis-driven pulls.
Layer phase-feeding programme — France
Illustrative scenario: French cage-free layer complex adopting a 4-phase nutrition programme with calcium particle-size split, amino-acid balance and rolling formulation to hit late-cycle egg-shell quality and cost targets.
Broiler 4-phase nutrition programme — Brazil
Illustrative scenario: Brazilian integrator moving from 2-phase mash to a 4-phase pellet-and-crumble broiler programme with digestible amino-acid balancing, phytase and NSP-enzyme package, targeting a 4-point FCR improvement.
Rainbow trout raceway feeding upgrade — Italy
Illustrative scenario: Italian alpine trout farm replacing hand feeding across 32 raceways with pendulum demand feeders and a low-P extruded ration, targeting FCR and effluent phosphorus reduction to keep the discharge licence.
Smallholder dairy concentrate programme — Kenya
Illustrative scenario: Rift Valley dairy cooperative standardising a phase-fed bagged concentrate programme (challenge, production, late-lactation, dry-off) with extension-officer body-condition scoring, aimed at lifting cooperative-wide milk delivery and cutting reproductive loss.
Greenfield 30 t/h pelleted feed mill — Vietnam
Anonymized reference project: a greenfield mill for a southern Vietnamese integrator producing broiler, layer and swine feed on one pellet line. FeedMatch scoped the requirement, ran the RFQ against five suppliers and normalised the offers to a landed, commissioned basis before the buyer's own engineering review.
Capacity upgrade 12 → 25 t/h — Brazil
Anonymized reference project: a Paraná broiler integrator outgrew its own mill and had to decide between a second line and a bottleneck-led upgrade of the existing one. The requirement was defined before suppliers were approached, which changed the answer.
Shrimp and tilapia extrusion line — Ecuador
Anonymized reference project: an Ecuadorian aquafeed producer needed one line to make sinking shrimp micro-pellets and floating tilapia feed. The two products pull the extruder in opposite directions, so the requirement had to fix the split before any supplier could quote sensibly.
Batching and automation retrofit — Poland
Anonymized reference project: a commercial Polish mill selling to third-party farms replaced manual micro-dosing and paper batch records with automated dosing, weighing and full batch traceability, driven by customer audits rather than capacity.
Premix and concentrate plant — Saudi Arabia
Anonymized reference project: a Saudi group producing its own premixes and concentrates instead of importing them. Small tonnage, high value per tonne — the requirement was dominated by weighing accuracy, contamination control and documentation, not throughput.
