Recording Leftovers

To record leftovers, follow these steps:

1. Create a new ingredient, select New +.

2. Name the ingredient.

• The following fields are required:

  • Ingredient type
  • Sub-type
  • Dry-matter

• Turn off Include in Mix Precision.

3. Choose the advanced options and select Recalculate if needed.

Note

Please note the options for adjusting the load size.

• Hit Save.

4. Go to Rations and choose where the leftover will be used.

• Add the previously created ingredient to the list.

5. Activate the ingredient by switching on the toggle.

6. Move the leftover ingredient to the top of the list by holding down the two lines and dragging the item up.

• The leftover ingredient has to be the first item in the list.

7. Set the weight of the ingredient greater than zero.

Tip

Because the amount of leftovers is not known in advance the number here won’t matter. It wont’t be included in feed precision.

• Hit Save.

8. Go to Feedplans and select where the ration is being fed. Tick the No Zero box.

• This will ensure that the weight of leftovers staying in the mixer will be registered.

• Hit Save.
