The term Australia poultry feed market designates the complete production and distribution of feed formulations that provide the necessary nutrients for broilers, layers, and breeders, which consist of grains, proteins, additives, and supplements. The market is being fueled by the increase in the consumption of poultry meat and eggs, the rise of commercial poultry farming, the continuous demand for high-performance feed, and the growing interest in animal health, feed efficiency, and sustainable nutrition practices throughout Australia, thus experiencing a steady increase in size.

 

The poultry feed market in Australia receives the backing of the government through AgriFutures Australia's Chicken Meat Program, where the government will inject AUD 6.6 million (2022-2027) into research on productivity and feed efficiency. Moreover, the government supports the poultry sector through a variety of policies, including agricultural competitiveness programs, biosecurity funding, and provision of low-interest RIC loans, all of which together amount to AUD 4 billion, and the poultry producers getting the benefit of these activities are thus able to better manage their feed costs and fortify the resilience of their supply chains.

 

The poultry feed market in Australia is moving forward with the introduction of precision nutrition blends, digital feed management platforms, and automated feed mills. For instance, the companies Ridley and CBH not only apply real-time data, IoT, and analytics but also depend on innovations in probiotics, enzymes, and prebiotics to improve bird health, feed efficiency, and ecological sustainability of the poultry industry.
