Feed and feed inputs

Alternative and specialty proteins

Insect, single-cell and yeast proteins, bought where local authorisation allows them.

What should buyers check first for alternative proteins?

Check first that the product is authorised for the species in the destination country. Then ask for the production substrate and process, a certificate of analysis per lot, and storage and shelf-life data.

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.

Fresh liquid brewers yeast
Best fit when: When you can receive and store a chilled yeast slurry close to the brewery.
Check carefully: Ask how the slurry is stored and kept clean — it has a limited shelf life and is susceptible to contamination.
Source: Feedipedia — Brewers yeast
Dried brewers yeast
Best fit when: When you need yeast supply throughout the year rather than with brewery output.
Check carefully: Compare dried and fresh offers on the same dry-matter basis; drying adds processing cost.
Source: Feedipedia — Brewers yeast
Single-cell protein
Best fit when: When you want a microbial protein produced by fermentation on a documented substrate.
Check carefully: Ask for the production substrate and recovery process — many substrates and several processes are used.

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.

Supplier-document review checklist

How to read this catalog. Each entry is a product type FeedMatch sources for commercial buyers, with an independent buying guide. It is not a listing of stock, prices or supplier offers. Nutrition values, formulations, origins, certifications and availability are shown only when a supplier has documented them, and stay labelled as supplier-declared until checked against the documents. FeedMatch is a sourcing intermediary — it does not manufacture, sell or export feed or equipment, and gives no veterinary or nutritional advice; ask your nutritionist or veterinarian about suitability.

Feed and ingredient requests have no minimum; assisted sourcing for plant and equipment projects applies from about USD 250,000. Requests go to the FeedMatch team, who contact suppliers and present responses — buyers and suppliers are not put in direct contact.

Availability and the ability to trade depend on the applicable law and on the licences and approvals required, which differ by product and country. Each participant is responsible for the rules that apply to its own role: suppliers for the products they offer and supply, buyers for their own import permissions and checks. FeedMatch is not a manufacturer, importer, exporter, seller or regulatory approver; it facilitates sourcing and screens requests before any supplier is contacted. Regulation & responsibilities.
