For commercial farm feed buyers

Buying feed that must meet ISO 45001:2018 for a commercial farm

Farm buyers cite ISO 45001:2018 in the RFQ so every supplier quotes against the same requirement. FeedMatch structures that requirement and returns comparable offers from suppliers able to document compliance.

Best for
Commercial farms, integrators, distributors and feed buyers sourcing feed that must meet ISO 45001:2018 and related feed, additives or nutrition supply on a recurring commercial scale — not pet food, hobby farms or backyard quantities.
Animal species covered
Broilers and layers, dairy and beef cattle, pigs, tilapia, salmon and shrimp, plus sheep and goats on request.
Typical feed buyer needs
A written specification, verified suppliers who can hold that specification, comparable pricing on the same delivery terms, documented quality (CoA, certifications) and a supply schedule that matches production.
Bulk feed and recurring supply
Most requests are bulk or big-bag volumes on monthly or quarterly contracts. Volume per delivery, storage capacity on farm and contract length change price more than the headline per-tonne quote.
Feed additives and premix
Premix, amino acids, minerals, vitamins, enzymes, organic acids, toxin binders and other additives can be quoted alongside compound feed or ingredients so one supplier comparison covers the whole ration.
What affects feed cost
Raw-material origin and specification, inclusion rates, freight and Incoterms, packaging, order volume, payment terms, currency and certification requirements. Landed cost, not ex-works price, decides the winner.
RFQ checklist
Species and production stage, tonnes per month, target specification, delivery port or farm location, packaging, required certifications, first delivery date and contract duration.
Supplier matching process
You define the requirement, FeedMatch structures the RFQ, sends it to relevant qualified suppliers, and returns comparable offers side by side so you can negotiate on equal terms.
Buyer is not charged
Farm buyers are not charged to submit a requirement, receive matched suppliers or compare quotes.

FeedMatch helps farm buyers compare feed suppliers, nutrition providers, additives suppliers and related solutions. FeedMatch is an intermediary and does not manufacture feed or provide financing directly.
