Distributors and importers
Become a Linker Nutrients distributor
You know your market, its feed mills and its farms. We bring a range of feed additives and farm solutions, the technical support that goes with it and clean documents, in English and French. Here is what you will find with Linker, and how to write to us.
A range in two families, to represent in full or in part
Feed Solutions brings together the additives of the feed mill: they go into the formula and are dosed at the mill. Farm Solutions brings together what is dosed on the farm, through the drinking water or on the litter. In all, 31 platforms: 17 for the mill, 14 for the farm.
Each platform has its name, its colour, which you find again on the bag and on the label, its grades and its page on this site.
You do not have to take everything. A feed additive distributor working with feed mills will start with Feed Solutions; another, present on farms, with drinking water. The scope is decided together, market by market.
To browse the range and the challenges it covers, visit the Linker Experience Center, our digital showroom with private access.

What we bring to a distributor
A range does not sell itself. Here is what comes with it.
- Technical support. One contact for your questions and for those of your customers: choice of platform and grade, form, rate, inclusion point. And training for your teams, with what each product brings and how to use it. See technical support.
- Trial protocols. When a customer wants to see before adopting, we write the protocol with you and with them: the question asked, a comparable control and trial group, the records and the decision rule, set before the start. See how we run trials.
- Clean documents, in English and French. On the site, a simplified technical data sheet for each product, to read and to print. On request, for each grade: the full technical data sheet, the safety data sheet, the label, the certificate of analysis and the statements. See our quality.
- Results you can show. A trial result is only published with its conditions; the details are supplied on request. You know what you can say to a customer, and what you cannot.
- Quality you can stand behind. Each grade has a written specification, and every batch is linked to it and stays traceable. Everything that goes out under the Linker name is reviewed in detail.
- Responsiveness. Linker is an independent, responsive company: a question from the field reaches a technical person, and a specific request, a form or a grade suited to your market, is looked into. Who we are: about Linker Nutrients.

- We look at your market together.The species, the problems of the mills and the farms, the platforms that have a place there, and those that do not.
- The documents follow.For the platforms selected: technical data sheets, safety data sheets, labels, and the papers your country requires.
- The scope is decided.The ranges, the territory and the way of working are discussed directly, market by market.

Frequently asked questions
Do we have to represent the whole range?
No. One family, a few platforms or the whole range: it depends on your market and your customers, and it is decided together.
What kind of feed additive distributor are you looking for?
Importers and distributors who know their customers and the regulations of their country, and who sell by explaining: our products call for a conversation about rate, form and inclusion point. Wholesaler, reseller or specialist distributor, the word matters less than that ability to support the mill or the farm.
Do you offer exclusive distribution for a country?
That is not decided on a web page. The scope of a distributor agreement, meaning the territory, the ranges and the customers, is discussed directly, market by market, depending on what already exists in your country and what you bring to it.
Do you publish your prices and terms?
No. A price depends on the grade, the volume, the pack and the destination country; distribution terms are discussed directly.
Which documents will we receive?
For each grade selected: the full technical data sheet, the safety data sheet and the label, then the certificate of analysis for the batches and the statements your file requires, on request. Documents exist in English and French. The site also carries a simplified technical data sheet for each product, to read and to print.
Can you help us set up a trial at a customer’s site?
Yes. We write the protocol with you and with the customer: the question asked, a comparable control and trial group, the records and the decision rule, set before the start. The result is read against that rule, including when it says no.
My country is not in your areas of activity: can I still write to you?
Yes. We grow market by market. Tell us your country and your customers: we look with you at what is possible, product by product, under local regulations.
