Compare shrimp and fish feed manufacturers on one specification. We run supplier-neutral RFQs for vannamei and monodon shrimp, tilapia, salmon, trout, sea bass, sea bream and catfish — extruded, pressed, floating or sinking, bagged or bulk.
If your project also needs ponds, cages, RAS, hatcheries or processing capacity, FishMatch Group sources aquaculture infrastructure on the same neutral basis.
FeedMatch is supplier-neutral and is not the feed manufacturer. Specifications and final commercial terms are confirmed by the selected supplier.
Species and farming system, life stage, pellet size and whether the feed must float or sink, crude protein and lipid targets, digestible energy, water stability in minutes, maximum fines, fish meal and fish oil inclusion or approved substitutes, and certification such as BAP, ASC or IFFO RS. Add water temperature and salinity — they change the formulation a supplier will offer.
Floating feed is extruded, costs more per tonne because of the processing energy, and lets you observe intake and cut waste — normal for tilapia and catfish in ponds. Sinking feed is pelleted, cheaper per tonne, and required for shrimp and bottom-feeding species. Quote both only if your system can actually use both; otherwise offers are not comparable.
Shrimp feed is typically specified to hold integrity for two to three hours in water because shrimp feed slowly, while most fish feeds need far less. State the required stability window, the test method and the maximum acceptable fines on arrival. Stability is driven by binder choice and processing, and it materially affects both the price and the actual feed conversion you get.
Yes. Suppliers routinely quote lower fish meal formulations using soy protein concentrate, poultry by-product meal where permitted, insect meal, single-cell protein or added synthetic amino acids. Fish meal is often the largest single cost line, so ask for a benchmark quote plus a reduced-marine-inclusion alternative, and compare them on cost per kilogram of gain, not price per tonne.
Define species, production stage, feed type, monthly tonnage, packaging and delivery destination, then issue one structured RFQ to several qualified manufacturers rather than contacting them one by one. FeedMatch runs that comparison for commercial buyers: we match your specification against manufacturers with the right capacity, certifications and export routing, and return offers benchmarked on specification and delivered cost.
Yes. Custom formulation starts from your species, age or production stage, performance objective, locally available raw materials, nutrient targets and target cost per tonne. Suppliers can quote a like-for-like match to your current label plus a least-cost alternative built on ingredients available in your region. Existing formulations, feeding programmes and recent raw-material analyses all speed this up.
Species and breed, age or production stage, target performance, current ration or label if one exists, available local raw materials, ingredients to avoid, required additives or medication status, energy and protein targets, pellet or mash presentation, climate, and target cost per tonne. Local feed regulations for the destination market also determine which additives and claims are permitted.
Protein and energy level, ingredient mix, raw-material market prices, additive and premix content, formulation complexity, pellet quality, packaging, order volume, freight and destination, and any certification requirements. Bulk deliveries generally price below bagged feed per tonne. Prices move with commodity markets, so offers are usually valid for a defined window.
Yes. Feed mills and integrators often buy raw materials rather than finished feed. We source protein meals, energy grains, fats and oils, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, binders and complete premixes, quoted per tonne on the incoterm you specify, with certificate of analysis and certification requirements stated in the RFQ.
Country and delivery destination, species and production stage, feed or ingredient type, order volume and monthly requirement, packaging, required certifications and timeline. Nutritional targets, current formulation and target price make the offers far more comparable, but an RFQ can be opened and refined once suppliers respond.
Minimum order quantities depend on supplier, product type, packaging and destination.
The more of this you provide, the faster and more comparable the offers. Anything you cannot answer yet can be left open — suppliers will quote against assumptions and flag them.
Yes. If your operation covers both shrimp and finfish, or if you are a distributor serving multiple farms, we structure one RFQ with separate species and phase specifications so each supplier quotes only what it can deliver.
Shrimp: vannamei and monodon pre-starter, starter, grower and finisher. Fish: tilapia, salmon, trout, sea bass, sea bream, catfish and carp — fry through grow-out and broodstock where required.
Extruded floating or sinking pellets, pressed pellets, crumbles and meal. Packaging ranges from 25 kg bags and 1 t big-bags to bulk tanker or vessel loads for large integrators.
Yes. We regularly request formulations with reduced marine ingredients using SPC, insect meal, single-cell protein and synthetic amino acids while holding declared nutrient and performance targets.
We do not manufacture feed and we do not take placement fees from suppliers. Offers are compared on the same specification, certification and Incoterm basis, and introductions are made only after internal review.
