The SFMCA operates FeedSafe® as the Quality Assurance Accreditation Program for the Australian stock feed industry.
All full (active manufacturer) members of the SFMCA are be required to comply with FeedSafe® to retain their Association membership.

FeedSafe® is a program aimed at increasing the commitment of the Australian stock feed industry to quality assurance and risk mitigation in the manufacture and use of animal feeds.

The Compass Liquid Minerals range of products contain a wide range of key elements required by all livestock, however, some elements are more bio-available than others. To increase the nutrient uptake and utilization of these elements, Compass Feeds uses a natural Fulvic compound to aid nutrient bonding. Fulvic Acid enhances the availability of nutrients and makes them more readily absorbable. The compound also prepares minerals to react with cells and allows minerals to inter-act with each other, breaking them down to the simplest ionic forms chelated by the Fulvic Acid Electrolyte. Fulvic Acid assists every stage of cellular metabolism and is nature’s most powerful electrolyte.
Compass Liquid Minerals manufactures a small range of liquid and soluble products (please refer here for more information on each product). We also have the ability to manufacture customized batches which are blended specifically to each customer’s requirements.
