Configuring Feed Types
To manage your farm properly in Pigax, you need to set up the types of feed. This helps you keep clear records and track what each pig receives.
There are 2 ways to configure feed types on Pigax
Premixed Feed
This is ready-made commercial feed that you buy and give directly to your pigs without any changes. Choose this option when using professionally prepared feeds from suppliers.
Feed Mix.
This is a custom feed that you create by combining different ingredients like corn, soybean meal, and supplements. When creating a Feed Mix, you can only select from the available feed components already registered in your list. If you need a new ingredient, you can easily add it by clicking "Add Components".
