Ngahiwi Farms is a New Zealand company that makes calf and lamb milk replacers, sold to farmers through major merchants across the country. The company was incorporated in 1989, and its roots go back to a Reporoa farm first worked by the family in 1952. Its distinctive feature is its focus on young animal nutrition, with the products blended and packaged in New Zealand.
The company says each batch is hand-tested for consistency and quality. It uses downgraded raw materials from New Zealand dairy factories, and it has long-standing supply relationships in the Netherlands for when local supply runs low. Its milk replacers are made with prebiotics, probiotics and a coccidiostat as standard, according to a customer quoted on the website. The company was a founding sponsor of the Poukawa calf rearing project in Hawke's Bay from 1999 to 2006.
Farmers can call 0800 CALFMILK, or send a message through the contact tab or social media. The company says it aims to reply within a day. The website is also set up as a resource of technical and practical knowledge on rearing calves. The address on the listing is 110 Felton Mathew Avenue in St Johns, Auckland.
