Feed Formula Prescriptions

Feed Formula Prescriptions are created for periods when the farm or entity must receive a medication quantity of feed over a period of time. In the registry, there is a switch to determine if the prescription is validated to deliveries. The switch can be found in the Divisions tab under Feed Product Prescription Required in:  Admin>System>Registry>Poultry Registry>Divisions>Protein Divisions>General>Feed Product Prescription Required. If the option is selected, the feed deliveries will create usages against the prescription inventory and maintain an inventory of the prescription. If the option is not selected, the prescription inventory usage and inventory quantity will not be used.

Prior to creating a Feed Formula Prescription, Feed Products must be created.

The following procedures are outlined in the Feed Formula Prescription document:
