Livestock and poultry feed in Canada

Updated 31 October 2026

Livestock and poultry feed in Canada costs about CA$17 to CA$25 for a 20 kg bag of layer or grower pellets, approximately, according to sellers' websites, October 2026. Specialty and organic feeds cost more, and a 36% protein supplement is around CA$33 for 20 kg. The fastest way to see current prices for your flock is to describe what you need in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Feed rules in Canada

Under the Feeds Regulations, 2024, most livestock feeds sold in Canada, including mixed and specialty feeds, must be registered with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency unless they are exempt. Before you pay, ask the seller whether the product is registered, and keep the bag so you can check the name, the protein percentage and the directions. If you keep birds for eggs or meat, the National Farm Animal Care Council publishes Codes of Practice for poultry care and handling, a useful reference for housing and feeding.

Season: buy before the cold

Winter in Canada runs from December to February, and birds burn more energy keeping warm, so they eat more. Buying in October or November means you have feed in the shed before the coldest months. Store bags sealed and off the floor in a dry place.

Delivery and how feed is sold

Feed is quoted per bag in kilograms. Twenty and 25 kg bags are the usual sizes for layer and grower pellets, while 3.5 kg bags suit a small backyard flock. Sellers in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary and Ottawa may not reach every town, so ask whether delivery reaches yours and whether it is included in the price. In Montreal, some listings are in French, so search for "moulée" and "granule" as well as "feed" and "pellets".

What to put in your request

Name the type of feed (layer, grower, scratch grain or supplement), the number and age of your birds, and how much you need in bags or kilograms. Add your town or village, the packaging you prefer, whether you want a known manufacturer, and your budget.
