How to create feed recipes on DairyLogs

Build DairyLogs feed recipes that blend ingredients into finished feeds such as lactating TMR.

Feed → Recipes defines blends that produce finished feed (for example Lactating TMR) from ingredient stock. Producing a recipe converts ingredients into the finished SKU on the stock ledger.

Steps

Open Recipes: Go to Feed → Recipes (/dashboard/feed/recipes).
Define the blend: Create a recipe with a finished feed name and ingredient lines (quantities/units that match your stock catalog).
Produce into stock: When you mix on the farm, produce the recipe so ingredient stock decreases and finished-feed available quantity increases at WAC.

DairyLogs feed recipes page for blend recipes like Lactating TMR — Feed recipes

Tips

Keep ingredient SKUs separate from finished TMR SKUs so produce/consume stays auditable.
IOFC and feed-cost reports look cleaner when recipes and feed logs use the same catalog names.

Frequently asked questions

01What is a feed recipe in DairyLogs?

A bill of materials that turns ingredient stock into a finished feed SKU when you produce the recipe.

02How is recipe cost calculated?

From ingredient weighted average costs (WAC) on the inventory ledger when you produce the blend.

03Should plans reference recipes or raw ingredients?

Either works. Many farms plan against finished TMR SKUs after producing recipes into stock.
