How to create feed plans on DairyLogs

Create DairyLogs feed plans (schedules) so Add records knows what ration to offer each session.

Feed → Plans (schedules) stores saved rations so the Add records screen can offer “what to feed now.” Create a New Plan with the animals/group and ingredients you want on a repeating schedule.

Steps

Open Plans: Go to Feed → Plans (/dashboard/feed/schedules).
Create New Plan: Click New Plan. Name the plan, choose animals or groups, and set the ration ingredients and amounts.
Use it when feeding: Return to Feed → Add records and use Schedule to log against the plan so stock and cost stay consistent.

Tips

Separate lactating, dry, and youngstock plans so Add records stays clear.
Update plans when recipes change so scheduled feeding matches the mill.

Frequently asked questions

01What is a feed plan in DairyLogs?

A saved feeding schedule/ration that Add records can apply with the Schedule action instead of rebuilding a custom mix each time.

02Where are feed plans in the sidebar?

Under Feed → Plans (URL /dashboard/feed/schedules).

03Do plans consume stock by themselves?

No. Stock moves when you log a feeding from Add records (or produce a recipe). Plans only define what should be fed.
