We strongly  recommended that you use a "template or model"  feed when you create  new feeds!

By using template feeds you will ensure that all nutrients will be included in the analysis tables, even when your feed analysis contains a limited set of nutrients.

Follow this path  to insert a new feed in your feedlist (example: a new hay)

1. Open the feedlist in which you want the feed to be stored
2. Give the feed a name of your choice
3. Select a feed type from the list

1. Click the  "Template feed"-button
2. Select the feedlist you want to take model feed from
3. Doubleclick the feed in the list that you want to use as template (Choose a feed with properties as close as possible to the new feed)

 

1. PC-Horse confirms (red text) your choice
2. Click:
3. You are transferred to the screen for editing feeds.

Change nutrient concentrations according to your own analyses  in the yellow fields in the table. Standard (template feed) values will be used where you do not have your own analyses.

Don't forget to adjust the dry matter percentage before changing to per kg values if your analyses are given per kg of dry matter!

Please observe that PC-Horse gives all concentrations of nutrients per kg of feed. Some analytical results from laboratories, and even feed declarations, are given as a percentage value. Per cent means per 100 g of feed, not gram per kg of feed. If for example the content of a nutrient like calcium is gives as a percentage, ie 2.3%, you shall enter a value of 23 g calcium per kg of feed.
