For 30 years, Tiger Animal Feeds has stood alongside Zambian farmers, helping them raise healthier animals, improve productivity and build stronger farming businesses. What started in 1996 as a maize mill has grown into one of Zambia’s trusted names in animal nutrition, a company rooted in technical excellence, innovation and a genuine passion for agriculture and community upliftment.
Today, Tiger Animal Feeds celebrates not only a milestone anniversary but also three decades of relationships with farmers, suppliers, communities and families across Zambia and Southern Africa.
From poultry and cattle to pigs, rabbits, fish and pets, Tiger Animal Feeds has become known for producing scientifically formulated feed that delivers consistent results. Through close collaboration with technical experts and nutritionists, the company continues to ensure that every product meets high nutritional standards designed to support animal health, growth and performance.
At the heart of the business is a simple understanding: good farming starts with good nutrition
Over the years, Tiger Animal Feeds has invested heavily in innovation and modernisation to keep pace with the evolving needs of the agricultural sector. The company’s modern feed mill and advanced formulation systems enable it to produce quality feed solutions tailored for every stage of animal production.
But beyond the machinery and technical expertise lies something even more valuable: people. Tiger Animal Feeds has built its reputation on relationships and support. Farmers are not simply customers; they are partners. Through their experienced technical team, the company provides practical guidance on feeding programmes, nutrition,
husbandry and farm management to help producers achieve better results and long-term sustainability. This hands-on approach has helped countless farmers improve efficiency and profitability, while strengthening Zambia’s livestock industry.
The company’s commitment to agriculture also extends far beyond the farm gate. For Tiger Animal Feeds, success is measured not only by growth in business but also by the positive impact made within communities.

Supporting communities and giving back
One of the organisations supported by Tiger Animal Feeds is the House of Hope, where the company regularly
contributes resources, such as books, sewing machines and monthly egg donations. The support has made a meaningful difference to children and families within the community of Zambia. Representatives from House of Hope expressed sincere gratitude for the ongoing involvement and generosity shown by Tiger Animal Feeds over the years. The company is also proudly involved with the Cactus Foundation, an animal shelter dedicated to rescuing abandoned and abused animals, particularly dogs.
The foundation currently cares for hundreds of rescued animals, including dogs, cats and goats, while also helping facilitate adoptions and fostering opportunities. By donating dog food and nutritional support, Tiger Animal Feeds has played an important role in improving the health and well-being of rescued animals at the Cactus Foundation.
Rowena Blanco from Tiger Animal Feeds says the company is proud to contribute to the foundation and highlights the important work they do within the community.
“Nutrition plays a vital role in the health and immunity of animals Seeing these dogs regain their strength, improve in condition and become ready for adoption is incredibly rewarding for us,” she says.
For Tiger Animal Feeds, these partnerships reflect the company’s broader philosophy of care, responsibility and giving back. Another important part of the company’s success story is its support of local agriculture through sourcing raw materials from Zambian farmers.
By purchasing maize, soybeans, sunflower cake, and other ingredients from local farmers, Tiger Animal Feeds contributes to strengthening rural economies and supporting sustainable agricultural development. This commitment to local partnerships has helped create a value chain where farmers support farmers, building resilience within the agricultural sector and creating opportunities for growth throughout the country.
Over the past three decades, the company has also expanded its footprint across Zambia and beyond, serving customers through a strong distribution network and exports into neighbouring Southern African countries. Despite this growth, Tiger Animal Feeds has remained true to its original mission: delivering trusted nutrition backed by quality, expertise and service. As the company celebrates its 30th anniversary, there is a strong sense of optimism for the future.
Zambia’s agricultural potential remains immense, and Tiger Animal Feeds continues to position itself as a reliable partner ready to help farmers navigate new opportunities and challenges in the years ahead. From supporting farmers and feeding livestock to uplifting communities and caring for rescued animals, Tiger Animal Feeds continues to prove that its impact reaches far beyond feed alone. For Tiger Animal Feeds, the journey is not only about celebrating the past, but also about continuing to nourish Zambia’s future for generations to come.
