Importing, processing and distributing complementary animal feed is our business.
The New Zealand Bulk Feed Importers Forum is made up of companies involved in importing, processing and distributing complementary animal feed. Members work closely with farmers, farm supply companies, food manufacturers, and experts from industry and academia to support the health and wellbeing of New Zealand farm animals and the economic and environmental sustainability of New Zealand agriculture.
What we do
New Zealand agriculture is built on pasture-based farming systems. Our farmers pride themselves on working the land to produce world-recognised food and high-end goods while maintaining a high standard of animal welfare and care.
However, the quality and quantity of pasture available varies according to season, climate, weather and farm management techniques. As extreme weather events become more common, it is now more important than ever to ensure livestock continue to get the nutrients they need to thrive.
Complementary feeds balance fluctuations in protein and other nutrients, ensuring optimum animal health, productivity, and environmental efficiency all year round.
Our Forum members source and supply high-quality feed and mineral supplements to provide New Zealand farmers with a cost-effective way to meet their animals’ nutritional needs.
