Define your feed mix by Total Amount or a Ratio.

  • Total Amount: Once the total amount is filled in for all items, the ratio of each feed will be updated automatically.

Note: If the total amount supplied on the Details page exceeds the total amount entered in the feed mix composition, the ratio will be used to determine the total amount of each item.

  • Ratio: Values entered must equal 100%

Add one or more separate feeds to the record. Each feed will appear on the details page as a separate entry in which the amount supplied can be entered.

Tap the “+ Add Seperate Feed ” to launch the inventory selector and select a feed from your inventory.

Feed Allocation

Once the feed has been selected you can enter the amount of feed supplied on the Details page.

Allocate per Paddock

Filling in the Average amount Per Head will calculate the Total Feed Quantity Supplied by using the total head of all livestock selected.

Allocate per Head

For all feed types excluding bales, you will have the option to choose the per head unit of feed as grams or kilograms.

Self Feeders

If you are filling up a self-feeder in the paddock, enter the total feed quantity supplied that was put into the feeder on that day.

When you have finished entering the details, press Save.

If you wish to record daily/weekly feed records so that the dates and daily feed amounts are accurate, then an easy way to mimic the same ration fed out on a previous day/week would be to use the Duplicate button.

You can make any adjustments needed once you are in the feed record form:

  • e.g. If more/less animals have been added to the paddock, then hit Select Mobs > Use the drop-down at the top right to filter for By Paddock > Select the Mobs or Paddock you are after. This will add any new mobs to the selection, so be sure to remove any that you no longer want in the record.

  • e.g. If your ration mix has only changed slightly, then you can hit Update Mix > and change it as needed.

Review and analyse your feed record information from the Feed Record Report.
