Colostrum Supplier Programme
Turn Surplus Colostrum Into Additional Farm Income
PHB is a global manufacturer of purified proteins, with a world-class processing facility right here in Feilding. We partner with Manawatū dairy farmers to collect surplus colostrum during calving and transform it into high-quality ingredients used in health products around the world.
Our collection programme is designed to work alongside your existing system. Calves come first, always. We provide the infrastructure, and pay per litre based on quality.
With a local team on the ground and support from setup through to collection, the process is straightforward and built around the realities of a busy calving season.
If you’re looking for a practical way to generate additional income from your farm, we’d love to show you how the programme works.
