Feed and feed inputs
Grains and energy ingredients
Cereals, cereal by-products, oils and molasses bought by grade, moisture and delivery term.
What should a feed grain RFQ specify?
Name the grain and grade, maximum moisture and foreign material, the mycotoxin tests required per lot, crop year and origin, quantity and shipment window, and whether the price is quoted per tonne on an as-is or dry-matter basis. For sorghum and barley, state the type you need, since varieties differ.

General buying considerations from the cited public sources — not supplier claims, nutrition values or advice on feeding animals. Confirm suitability with your nutritionist or veterinarian and with the supplier's documents for the specific lot.
Low-tannin sorghum
Best fit when: When your specification calls for low-tannin rather than high-tannin sorghum.
Check carefully: Ask how variety and tannin type were confirmed — the bleach test distinguishes pigmented from unpigmented testa.
Source: Feedipedia — Sorghum grain
Barley
Best fit when: When you can specify the barley type instead of treating all barley as interchangeable.
Check carefully: Ask whether the lot is a waxy barley, which is high in beta-glucans.
Source: Feedipedia — Barley grain
Stabilised (heat-treated or dried) rice bran
Best fit when: When you need rice bran that was treated promptly after milling to delay rancidity.
Check carefully: Ask when and how the bran was heated or dried — an unspecified treatment history does not show it was stabilised.

What a supplier must document
FeedMatch asks for these before an offer is presented to you. Anything a supplier has not documented stays marked as missing — it is never estimated.
- Grade and quality parameters with test methods
- Moisture and foreign-material limits
- Mycotoxin results per lot
- Origin, crop year and phytosanitary documents where required
