Ingredient and Premix Usage

This report is giving you the total information of the feed used on your farm during the date range you have selected. It will show all the ingredients that you have fed and also the ingredients used for creating the premixes (premixed created with your own mixer).

It’s showing:
  • in actual weight what the call weights were and the loaded weights for those ingredients; 
  • on the dry matter basis call weights and loaded weights.
  • deviation by weight and percentage 
  • the actual planned expense, the actual expense and then that difference in your currency so what that error cost was during that time frame.
