Cooper Aitken’s 2025/26 benchmarking of 134 Waikato dairy farms found owner-operator milk-solids production rose 7% year on year to 440 kg per cow. Output per cow was up 21% over six years, alongside greater technology adoption and improvements in genetics, pasture use and supplementary feeding.
Higher output per cow can support New Zealand milk supply despite cost pressures, potentially easing competition for dairy ingredients. The report does not quantify a national supply or price impact.
