The Sanders Team
Sanders Fodder has been a Gawler family business since 1979.
Currently owned and managed by Matthew and Jane Sanders, with the assistance of long term and valued staff.
The business has evolved with the times to include safer handling practices and innovations in technology and processes to build an ‘old fashioned’ business model into a vibrant and productive business which services the needs of the Mid- North, Riverland, and Northern Adelaide metropolitan areas of South Australia. We have the advantage of spacious, easily accessible parking away from the main road and busy shopping precinct.
Having joined the AIRR (Australian Independent Rural Retailers) group in 2009, this move gave the store more buying power and access to better products in range and quality. This proves to be an important alliance when vying for market share increasingly taken by department store and large chain outlets. Hence our ‘Tuckers Pet & Produce’ branding and quarterly catalogues.
The Sanders family is involved in the local community with involvement through Rotary, Riding for Disabled, Gawler Racecourse and Terrace Function Centre, churches and school groups. We also support many local animal groups and shows through sponsorship each year.
The stone building in which Sanders Fodder is located, was built in the 1870’s with quite an interesting history. Read More about our History

📢 Know Your Starch – Know What’s Safe!
When feeding a horse or pony prone to laminitis, EMS or insulin resistance, understanding maximum starch content is crucial. Not all brands disclose this the way HYGAIN® does – so be sure to ask your feed company whether they are listing the maximum or minimum starch content when considering feeds for metabolic horses.
✅ HYGAIN® META SAFE® is a low-feeding-rate, grain-free balancer with a maximum of 1.5% starch and 35% fibre. It’s designed to help maintain weight in good-doing horses and ponies. A 500kg horse only needs 500g per day to meet its nutritional requirements—meaning a 20kg bag provides 40 feeds! Plus, it contains BONAFIDE® our Vitamin K1 & K2 supplement, which supports bone density in horses and ponies restricted from grazing on green grass.
✅ HYGAIN® ZERO® is a complete feed designed for horses that require a higher feeding rate for energy and muscle support, including those in work, recovering from illness or needing additional conditioning. It contains a maximum of 1.5% starch and 35% fibre, making it a safe option for starch-sensitive horses while supporting their overall health and performance.
Both feeds are fully fortified and also include biotin for hoof health and prebiotics for digestive support.
At HYGAIN®, we provide scientifically backed nutrition you can trust. Plus, our qualified nutritionists are always available to discuss your horse’s diet and provide free, personalised advice—no matter what brands you’re feeding or what challenges you’re facing.
