You can update your ingredient settings at any time to keep your feeding data accurate. When you change details like the name, cost, or dry matter percentage (DM%), FeedComp updates that information everywhere the ingredient is used. These changes take effect immediately, ensuring your recipes and costs stay up to date without any extra steps.

For field definitions and terminology, see [Ingredients](docId\:X3vfXQmhyQmnIy_6ANMJH).
