Pens

Description

The Pens section in the Feed Management module allows users to create, edit, and manage pens. This section is essential for associating pens with specific details such as bulk tanks, pen types, and unloading configurations. It ensures that feed and livestock management processes are tailored to each pen’s unique requirements.
