Optiprill is the result of many years of research, machinery development, and testing. When farmers told us they wanted a better alternative to dusting that would decrease waste, we decided to create a mineral supplement fed through the inline shed feeding system to increase dosing consistency, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
We went on a global search for the best quality mineral supplements that could be manufactured into a strong and great-tasting prill. We weren’t interested in the status quo, we’d set our sights on creating a product to deliver measurably improved mineral performance to the cow while removing the hassle, cost, and waste of dusting. Our search led us to products that, when tested, showed better performance than any other market equivalent.
Independent and in-house test results gave us the confidence to release Optiprill to the New Zealand market as a superior, complete mineral supplement staple.
Optiprill is great for dairy cows, and they love it.

“Having the prilled minerals has definitely helped with the palatability, because if you’re having to put a fairly high amount of calcium into their diet, they certainly don’t bulk at it when it’s been put into a prilled form.” – Judy Garshaw
These studies examine calcium supplementation, magnesium sources, ruminal buffering, mineral balance and lactating cow performance measures. They do not test Optiprill Early Lactation North Island itself.
Research on lactating dairy cow mineral nutrition, including calcium supplementation after calving, supplemental magnesium sources, ruminal buffer use, mineral absorption and calcium and magnesium balance.
Serum calcium, milk fever incidence, milk solids production, dry matter intake, milk yield, milk components, feed efficiency, ruminal pH, blood acid-base measures, urine pH, faecal pH, calcium absorption, magnesium absorption, mineral balance and nutrient digestibility.
The research supports broader dairy cow nutrition principles relating to early lactation calcium supply, magnesium source, mineral absorption, buffering, acid-base measures and production outcomes. They are not direct product trials for Optiprill Early Lactation North Island.
