About the Stock Feed Manufacturers Council of Australia (SFMCA)

Australia is a significant producer of livestock products, including chicken meat and eggs, pork, beef, lamb, dairy products and fish, which are supplied to domestic and export markets. In order to produce these animal products, there is a need for high quality animal feeds. The stock feed manufacturing industry produces compound animal feeds to meet the requirements of Australias livestock producers.

The SFMCA is a National industry association, representing corporate and individual manufacturers of stock feed located through out Australia. The SFMCA had its beginnings in 1961, when a "Federal Association of Stock Feed Manufacturers" was formed. From the Associations inception, it has played an active role in addressing national industry issues, many of these relating to raw material ingredient supply, quality standards, Federal government legislation regulations and grains industry issues.

The SFMCA is structured with a governing Federal Council, comprising elected representatives from each separate State based industry association.

There are State Associations of Stock Feed Manufacturers in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria (which includes Tasmania), South Australia and Western Australia.

Individual stock feed manufacturers are members of a State SFMA. Full (active) Membership of a State Association is available to stock feed manufacturers with milling and manufacturing plant located within Australia.

The State Associations also readily accept Associate Members, these being companies or individuals who have an interest and involvement with the stock feed industry. Many entities supplying products and services to stock feed manufacturers are Associate members.
