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.
