How to log feed on DairyLogs

Log feeding in DairyLogs from Add records using scheduled plans or a custom one-off ration, then verify under Feed records.

Feed → Add records shows what to feed now based on plans, with Schedule and Custom one-off ration options. Saved feedings appear under Feed → Records with ingredients and cost deducted from stock.

Before you start

Create feed stock items (and plans/recipes if you use scheduled feeding).
Animals must exist to attribute feedings.

Steps

Open Add records: Go to Feed → Add records (/dashboard/feed/add).
Choose Schedule or Custom: Feed from an existing plan with Schedule, or build a Custom one-off ration when the day’s mix differs from the plan.
Confirm in Records: Save the feeding, then open Feed → Records to verify animals, ingredients, and cost. Stock balances update via the inventory ledger.
