What feed sales and nutrition roles involve

A territory manager typically looks after a patch of dairy, beef, sheep, pig or poultry customers, visiting farms to review rations, forage analysis and animal performance. The job blends technical advice with commercial targets: winning new accounts, keeping existing ones and managing pricing and credit.

Account managers tend to work with larger or integrated customers, coordinating deliveries, nutritionists and specialist products. Expect plenty of driving, early visits to catch farmers before the day gets going, and some evenings at meetings or open days.

Getting on in agricultural sales

Many feed companies ask advisers to join the Feed Adviser Register, and a FACTS qualification is useful where the role also covers forage crops or fertiliser. A degree in animal science or agriculture helps, but a practical farming background counts for a lot, because customers trust advisers who understand their system.

Career paths lead from territory manager to regional or national sales management, or towards nutritionist and product manager posts. A strong application shows the commercial results you have achieved, the species you know well and how you have helped customers improve margins or animal performance.

Common questions

Do I need a nutrition degree to work in feed sales?

Not always. Many feed businesses value farm experience and sales ability and provide technical training once you join, while a degree matters more for nutritionist posts.

Is a company car included with feed sales roles?

Field sales positions involve a lot of mileage, so a car or car allowance is often part of the package. Each listing describes what is offered.

What is the difference between ruminant and monogastric feed roles?

Ruminant roles cover cattle and sheep, where forage quality and rumen health shape the ration. Monogastric roles cover pigs and poultry, which are fed compound diets formulated closely for growth and feed conversion.
