Why Milligans

Why Choose Milligans?

There are plenty of choices out there and it can be hard to know what to use and who to trust.

Here's what we know: nobody in New Zealand has been doing this longer, or doing it bigger. Milligans has been producing animal feed since the 80s, and began producing milk replacers in 1990. We haven't looked back since.

Today we're Australasia's largest privately owned milk replacer manufacturer — that isn't an accident. It's decades of farmers choosing us, season after season, because the product works and the supply doesn't let them down.

The choice for generations — and the numbers to prove it.

On-Farm Research

Alperna Farms — owned and operated by the Milligans family — runs 700 dairy cows in North Otago. All calves are reared on Milligans products. New formulations are trialled on our own stock. We see the results in our own paddock first.
