Milk fever is quietly costing New Zealand dairy farmers hundreds of millions of dollars every season.

DairyNZ research found cows with clinical milk fever produce 14% less milk for the entire lactation, while sub-clinical milk fever costs 7% of seasonal production. With New Zealand now milking approximately 4.68 million cows averaging 414kgMS per cow, and DairyNZ reporting around 7% clinical and 33% sub-clinical hypocalcaemia, the lost milk revenue alone equates to approximately $621 million every year at a $9.80 payout.

That's before accounting for vet costs, extra labour, cow deaths, retained membranes, mastitis, ketosis, poorer fertility and increased culling risk.

This makes transition cow management and post calving supplementation one of the highest-return investments available.

Powdered minerals can segregate in feed silos, leading to cows being over-dosed and under-dosed. You didn't purchase the silo to have inaccurate dosing did you?

Accurate mineral delivery matters because even small inconsistencies can impact cow health, milk production and feed efficiency.

MineralBoost’s rumen dispersible granules help ensure every cow gets the right minerals, every day — supporting healthier cows, better performance and stronger returns when every kgMS counts.

Let the MineralBoost team build a MineralBoost program for next season designed to achieve your goals.

Call 0800 466 736 and speak to the silo mineral experts.

MineralBoost is a Rumen Dispersable Granule designed to balance dairy cattle feed rations. Available from all leading Rural Merchants and Stockfeed companies.

Fonterra is forecasting another solid payout, $9.25-$10.25 per kgMS for the 2026/27 season. Making the most of that opportunity starts with keeping cows healthy, productive and well supported nutritionally.

As the season winds down, April and May are a key time to lock in production and support cow health before dry-off. Feeding MineralBoost Max helps lift essential trace minerals and supports rumen efficiency, reproduction and overall cow performance heading into the end of lactation.

Preparing early for calving is just as important. The three weeks before calving are a critical transition period when cows experience major metabolic stress. MineralBoost Transition is designed to support this stage with anionic calcium, magnesium and essential trace minerals that help prepare cows for calving and reduce the risk of milk fever and other metabolic issues.

A strong finish this season helps set the platform for a stronger start next season. By supporting cows with the right mineral balance at the right time, farmers can help protect herd health, maintain milk production and maximise returns when milk solids are valuable.

MineralBoost is made right here in New Zealand and is available through leading rural merchants and stockfeed companies, with IXOM distributing MineralBoost across the South Island.
