Company Description
Charnwood Milling Company Ltd, based in Suffolk, is a privately owned company which was formed in 1960 and specialises in a wide range of quality wild and domestic animal feeds. Nearly all of its feeds are produced and packed at its own mill in East Anglia, while certain ranges are manufactured by other trusted processors specifically to Charnwood Milling Company's own formulae. Staff at Charnwood, work to two main incentives; to provide animals with the best nutrition possible and to do this via excellent customer service.

Here at Charnwood, we carry out ongoing research and trials to ensure that our products are the very best they can be. The loyalty of our existing and new customers is proof that our quality feeds create effective results. All rations are formulated to the best specification for their use, and up to the declared analysis, not the minimum permitted tolerances.

Charnwood's sister company, Micronizing Company UK Ltd, was created in 1969 where infer-red thermal processing was used to improve the digestibility of cereal grain. The results of such a process have been well proven and we now supply a high number of cooked flaked micronized maize, wheat, barley, oats, peas and more. 

We also supply a fantastic range of horse feeds to suit different diets. Our modern facilities ensure that feeds are in compliance with codes of the Jockey Club of Great Britain.

Mail Order

Our feed products can be ordered and paid for via our online mail order service. We deliver to most areas of the UK and all orders received by 8am Monday to Friday will be collated and dispatched on the same day. Orders received after 8am will be collated and delivered the following working day. Carriage charges are applied to orders at the checkout stage and are determined on the total weight of feed purchased.

All orders will usually be delivered within three working days. If you have any queries regarding our mail order service or would like animal feed or nutrition advice please contact us and we will be happy to help.

Horse Feed

We supply a fine range of horse feed to our happy customers. Our team undertakes ongoing research with equine nutritionists to develop our fantastic range of competitively priced equestrian feed products. We supply feed to customers who own some of the finest race horses and eventers in the UK. Our quality horse feeds create effective results. Items within our range include Micronized Full Fat Linseed Oil, De-hydrated Apple Rings, Charnwood Kick-on Pellets, Garlic Powder / Garlic Granules, Brewers Yeast and Seaweed Meal. Our latest products now also include Easibeet™, micronized, flaked and unmolassed sugar beet flakes.

Micronized Whole Linseed

Our Full Fat Linseed Meal is high in Omega 3, 6, and 9 fatty acids. Its high energy combined with very low starch levels is beneficial to most equines including older horses and ponies and those that are prone to laminitis. In its raw state, the Linase enzyme in linseed can trigger the release of hydrogen cyanide. The micronization process of our linseed feed eliminates the Linase enzyme so that it can be fed directly to stock. Micronization also enhances feed value and palatability. Our linseed feed is available in both 3Kg and 25Kg bags.

Exotic Waterbird

We supply a range of 'floating' extruded feeds for marine ducks and flamingos. They are fully balanced and vitaminised to provide good growth, feathering and breeding performance. Feeds within the range include Extruded Ibis Diet, which contains a range of poultry and marine proteins to mimic the natural diet of invertibrates, Marine Duck, which uses high levels of fish meal and shrimp as a replacement for the natural diet of molluscs, crustaceans and crabs, Flamingo Breeder, which contains high levels of protein, vitamins and minerals, and Flamingo Maintenance, a balanced follow on ration for continued, growth, health and condition.
