Feed Supply & Feed Mill Procurement
How to request quotes for animal feed and feed mill projects
Short answer
Feed procurement splits into two separate requests. Recurring supply covers finished feed, ingredients, additives and premixes, defined by volume, specification and delivery pattern. Feed mill projects cover equipment and complete production lines, defined by tonnes per hour, product forms and scope. Global B2B Group reviews each manually and routes reviewed briefs to FeedMatch Group.
The two intents, kept separate
- Recurring supply — finished compound feed by species and life stage
- Recurring supply — raw ingredients, additives, premixes and concentrates
- Feed mill projects — grinding, mixing, pelleting, extrusion, cooling and coating
- Feed mill projects — intake, storage, conveying, dosing and bagging or bulk loadout
- Feed mill projects — automation, control systems and plant modernization
- Complete feed production lines and greenfield mill builds
What to define before quotations can be compared
1.Recurring supply — volume
Tonnes per month or year per product, and whether the requirement is a spot need or a term contract.
2.Recurring supply — specification
Species and life stage, required nutritional specification or standard, physical form, packaging and any certification required.
3.Recurring supply — logistics
Delivery destination, Incoterm, storage capacity at destination and delivery frequency.
4.Feed mill — capacity
Tonnes per hour, operating hours, product forms (mash, pellet, extruded) and the number of recipes.
5.Feed mill — site
Country, greenfield or extension, available building, power supply and intake and loadout logistics.
6.Feed mill — scope boundary
Equipment supply, supply with installation and automation, or turnkey including civil works and commissioning.

What happens after you submit
Requesting a quotation through Global B2B Group is free and creates no obligation. Every serious request is reviewed by a person, missing technical or commercial information is raised with the buyer, and suitable suppliers or partners are researched only after that review. Buyers are not connected to suppliers automatically, buyer information is not published, and no supplier is approved, ranked or recommended automatically. No proposal, price, availability, timeline or outcome is promised.
Where financing is mentioned
Global B2B Group and its specialist platforms are not banks, lenders or financial advisers. Eligible projects may be introduced to independent financing or export-credit partners where relevant. Any assessment, terms, approval and commitment remain solely with those independent organizations.

Frequently asked questions
- Should recurring feed supply and a mill project go into one request?
- No. They are different commercial intents with different respondents and different evaluation criteria. Submit them as two requests so each stays comparable.
- Can you provide a feed formulation or nutritional specification?
- No. Formulation and nutritional specification are the responsibility of qualified nutritionists. The request records the specification you supply; it is never invented on your behalf.
- What does it cost a buyer to request quotations?
- Nothing. Preparing and submitting a request is free for buyers, and submitting one creates no obligation to proceed.
- Will my request be sent to suppliers automatically?
- No. The request is reviewed by a person first. Supplier or partner research is considered only after that review, and any introduction is a controlled step decided by Global B2B Group — never an automatic broadcast of your project to a supplier list.
- What happens if my scope is still incomplete?
- That is normal at this stage. The review identifies which technical and commercial details are missing, and those points are raised with you before anything is taken further.
