THE FEED CENTRAL STORY

Evolving with the Industry. Grounded in Quality.

Since day one, Feed Central has been about doing hay differently, with a focus on quality, technology, customers and results. What began as a family-run business in 2002 has grown into one of Australia’s most trusted names in fodder quality assurance.

Today, Feed Central leads the way in independent quality assurance, inspecting and testing hundreds of thousands of tonnes of hay, straw, silage, grain and more each year. Our QA services continue to set the benchmark, helping sellers market with confidence and buyers purchase with peace of mind.

Our testing services are powered by DairyOne, one of the world’s leading agricultural laboratories, with thousands of calibrations supporting accurate and reliable results for our clients. For equine-specific analysis, we are the only lab in Australia to offer EquiAnalytical testing what helps us deliver tailored insights that meet the unique needs of horse owners and professionals. These partnerships ensure every test result is backed by global expertise and proven science.

Along with our feed testing services, Feed Central offers on-farm visual assessments, fire insurance risk reporting, inventory audits and sample collection services. We share our data and experience through a range of publications, market reports, podcasts and training programs that keep the industry informed and equipped. Everything we do is grounded in data, supported by an extensive feed test data library.

While our newly launched sister company LocalAg expands trading options for producers, Feed Central remains focused on delivering the gold standard in hay quality and support services. Whether you need insights on hay quality, expert advice or support for dispute resolution, Feed Central delivers trusted, independent information that helps lift standards across the supply chain.
