Astral Foods is a South African integrated poultry group covering animal feed, breeding, hatcheries, broiler farming and chicken processing.
South Africa ·
Astral Foods is a South African agrifood group built around an integrated poultry supply chain. Rather than only processing chicken, it combines animal feed production, broiler genetics and breeding, hatcheries, grow-out farming and chicken processing. Its businesses include Meadow Feeds in animal feed and National Chicks in breeding and hatcheries, and its chicken reaches consumers under brands such as Goldi, County Fair and Festive.
On a poultry farm, the main inputs are day-old chicks and feed, and Astral supplies both: it produces and sells day-old chicks and hatching eggs and manufactures animal feeds. Further along the chain, its abattoirs and processing operations turn broilers into fresh, frozen and processed products. For poultry buyers, the supplying facility, product specification and cold-chain requirements shape each deal, while farms look at chick delivery schedules and how well the feed suits their production system.

## Size of the business

For the financial year ended 30 September 2025, Astral Foods generated group revenue of approximately ZAR 22.6 billion, covering both its poultry and feed businesses.

### Is Meadow Feeds part of Astral?

Yes. Meadow Feeds is Astral's animal feed business.

### Does ZAR 22.6 billion represent meat sales alone?

No. It is Astral's total group revenue for the financial year ended 30 September 2025, covering both poultry and feed.
