Livestock and poultry feed in Australia: prices and rules

Updated 4 November 2026

A 20 kg bag of poultry feed in Australia usually costs between A$10 and A$40, and organic or free-range bags can reach about A$49. Small packs of 2 to 5 kg cost about A$12 to A$20. These are approximate prices from sellers' websites in November 2026. For current prices and offers from feed suppliers near you, send a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Feed rules you must follow

Restricted animal material, including meat and bone meal, cannot be fed to ruminants such as cattle, sheep and goats, and this ban is enforced across Australia. Stock feed should come with a guarantee that it does not contain restricted animal material. Animal feed products generally do not need registration with the national pesticides and veterinary medicines regulator, but the labelling of each product should still be checked against the standards that apply in your state.

Season and cost per kilogram

November is spring, and summer runs from December to February, when heat changes what birds need and many keepers switch to a different mix. A 20 kg bag usually works out cheaper per kilogram than a small pack: a 2 kg pouch at about A$20 is around A$10 per kg, while a 20 kg bag at A$17 is under A$1 per kg. Buy the size you can use before the feed loses quality.

Delivery and how it is bought

Feed is priced per bag, and bags are sold in kilograms. Ask whether the price is per bag, whether delivery to your town or village is included, and whether the seller can deliver to your property or only to a central depot. For farm deliveries, check the drop-off point before you pay.

What to write in your request

Say which animals you feed, such as hens, chicks, ducks or other poultry, and whether you also keep cattle or sheep. Name the feed type (layer pellets, mash, grain or starter crumbles) and how many kilograms or bags you need each month. Give the delivery town, your budget in A$, and whether you want free-range or organic feed. Mention any additives you need.
