Feed and feed inputs
Premixes and feed additives
Vitamin-mineral premixes and additives such as enzymes, acidifiers, binders and mycotoxin products.
What should a premix or additive RFQ include?
Give your formulation brief or the declared composition you need, the addition rate your mill can weigh accurately, carrier and packaging, shelf life, and ask for the authorisation or registration for the destination and a certificate of analysis per batch.

dsm-firmenich Vitamins & premix (buying guide)
Vitamins and premix are the category where a price per kilogram tells you almost nothing. Potency, overage policy, carrier share, stability under your conditioning temperature and shelf life in your climate decide what the ration actually costs. This page sets out what a dsm-firmenich vitamin or premix offer should declare, which alternative producers and premix houses are genuinely comparable, and how to structure the RFQ so every bid can be priced per tonne of finished feed at label rate.

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.
Custom ready-to-use premix
Best fit when: When you want a premix made to your specification that goes into the mixer without further premixing.
Check carefully: Confirm the addition rate suits your mill's weighing equipment and procedures.
Source: FAO — Stability of micro-ingredients in fish feed (Chapter 14)
Premix carrier / diluent choice
Best fit when: When the premix will be stored before use.
Check carefully: Ask for the carrier and its moisture behaviour — carriers that take up moisture can cause caking and ingredient degradation.
Source: FAO — Stability of micro-ingredients in fish feed (Chapter 14)
Density-matched diluents
Best fit when: When you want to limit separation of micro-ingredients during handling.
Check carefully: Still ask how segregation is controlled — matching densities reduces, but does not remove, the risk.

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.
- Declared composition or active content
- Inclusion guidance stated by the manufacturer
- Authorisation or registration for the destination
- Certificate of analysis and shelf life
