We source the solution,
not just the supplier.
Tell us the problem — FCR drift, protein cost, mycotoxin pressure, pellet durability, layer persistency. We help turn it into one clear specification and, after human review, invite relevant suppliers to quote on it. FeedMatch does not formulate feed.
Outcomes we source for
Every engagement is scored against a measurable outcome, not a vendor list.
Your own FCR records can be used to compare cost per unit of output. FeedMatch does not promise any FCR change.
Alternative ingredients or origins are quoted on the same specification so you can compare cost — any formulation change stays with your nutritionist.
Diagnose PDI, die geometry, conditioning and binder use before quoting a mill upgrade or binder supplier.
Screen exposure, then source binders, enzymes or origin swaps that actually match the toxin profile.
Suppliers quote on identical spec, packaging and Incoterm — real comparisons, not marketing decks.
The RFQ lists the certificates you require; each supplier must provide the documents for the product, site and shipment.
Two very different procurement models
Supplier-first platform
- ✕Matches a buyer to a seller
- ✕Returns a directory of vendors
- ✕Optimizes for vendor advertising spend
- ✕Buyer drowns in emails on different specs
- ✕Offers arrive on different bases
FeedMatch — solution-first
- ✓Starts from the outcome
- ✓Specifies first, then sources
- ✓Supplier-neutral by construction
- ✓Quotes on one common specification
- ✓Human review before any supplier contact
How a solution brief becomes tonnage
Short guided intake: species, stage, current diet matrix, observed performance, and the actual constraint (cost, spec, certification, timeline).
The requirement becomes a written specification. Options such as an alternative ingredient or origin can be quoted side by side; nutritional decisions stay with your nutritionist.
After human review, the RFQ goes to relevant suppliers for your region, with your required documents and Incoterm.
Quotes come back on a common basis so the comparison is real. No hidden spec differences, no marketing noise.
Contract, quality documents and delivery are agreed directly between you and the chosen supplier.
Frequently asked
What is solution-first sourcing in animal feed?+
It's a procurement approach that starts with the buyer's outcome — FCR, cost per kg of gain, mycotoxin risk, pellet durability — turns it into a written specification, and only then runs a supplier-neutral RFQ against it. Formulation and nutrition decisions stay with the buyer's nutritionist.
How is this different from a supplier directory?+
A directory matches buyers to sellers of a named ingredient. FeedMatch helps you define the requirement behind the request, turns it into a common specification and Incoterm, and — after human review — invites relevant suppliers to quote on it. Supplier certifications are checked against the documents each supplier provides.
Will this lower my finished feed cost?+
Not guaranteed. Options such as alternative protein sources, synthetic amino acids, phytase or a different origin can change cost, but whether they suit your animals is a decision for your nutritionist. FeedMatch helps you get comparable quotes so you can see the cost difference.
Is FeedMatch supplier-neutral?+
Yes. The specification is written before suppliers are invited, so no single manufacturer shapes it. Suppliers are compared on price, lead time, required documents such as GMP+, FAMI-QS, ISO 22000 or HACCP, and terms.
When should I just ask for a supplier instead?+
If your goal is genuinely the cheapest tonne of one defined ingredient at a defined spec, a direct RFQ is fine — and FeedMatch will source it. Solution-first applies when the real goal is an outcome (FCR, €/kg gain, mycotoxin control, PDI).
Ready to describe the problem, not chase suppliers?
Share your species, stage, current diet, and the outcome you're targeting. A person reviews it and helps turn it into a supplier-neutral RFQ. FeedMatch does not formulate feed or guarantee response times.
