Feed Types

 

Feed Types are used to group feed formulas. When creating new feed formulas, the user  is required to assign the feed formula to the feed type. If using the FDSA module, feeding programs are assigned to animal products based on a combination of feed types and feed formulas. Once defined, feed deliveries are projected for the farms. Feed Types are also used within the other modules to track feed consumption and other variable feed calculations.
