Add or Edit a Feeding
The daily feeding workflow in FeedComp is driven by scheduled feedings. Every feeding specifies the necessary recipe, pens, equipment, and total quantity of feed. FeedComp calculates feed amounts automatically and can split a feeding automatically if a load surpasses the capacity of the chosen mixer.
On PULSE (web), create a feeding by opening FeedComp > Feedings > Add Feeding in the upper right corner. On the FeedComp app (mobile), create a feeding by opening Adjustments > Feeding > Create Feeding.
Follow the steps below to continue:
- Add the Feeding Name.
- Select the Equipment to use for the feeding.
- Select the Recipe to use for the feeding. If a premix was selected, enter the Load Size.
💡TIP: Once the Equipment and a Recipe are selected, the Mixer Capacity for the feeding is calculated and displayed
- Select one or more pens to assign. If you select more than one pen, you can reorder the feeding schedule.
- Enter the dry matter per head (DM/HD Amount) or as-fed amount (AF Amount) for each pen.
🗒️ NOTE: If the mix amount for the feeding exceeds the capacity of the mixer, an Overcapacity banner is displayed. If you continue adding the feeding, the mix is split into multiple feedings.
- Add the feeding to the feeding schedule.
