The Total Mixed Ration (TMR) module is used to design and manage standardized feed recipes for your herd. By creating consistent formulas, you ensure that every animal receives the proper balance of nutrients for growth, health, and milk production.

📋 Feature Overview #

The TMR module acts as a “Recipe Book” for your farm:

• Design Recipes – Mix forage, grains, and supplements into a balanced ration.
• Cost Estimation – Automatically calculate batch prices based on current stock costs.
• Targeting – Assign formulas to specific stalls, groups, or individual animals.
• Inventory Integration – Check real-time stock levels while building recipes.
• Operational Consistency – Export formulas to Excel for stall-side reference or to share with feed providers.

🚀 How to Manage TMR Formulas #

1️⃣ Creating a New Formula #

1. Click Create New Formula on the main list page.
2. Formula Name – Give it a descriptive name (e.g., “High Yield Summer Mix”).
3. Target Audience:
   • General Formula – For any animal on the farm.
   • Specific Stall – Assign to all animals in a particular stall or shed.
   • Specific Animal – Assign a specialized diet for individual animals (e.g., recovery or trial).
4. Description – Add purpose or mixing instructions for the formula.

2️⃣ Building the Ingredient List #

• Add Ingredient – Add a new line for each feed item.
• Advanced Filtering – Filter by Stock Type or Category (e.g., Silage, Minerals, Medicated Feed).
• Quantity – Enter amounts in KG.
• Real-time Totals – The system automatically calculates Total Weight and Estimated Price as you add ingredients.

3️⃣ Managing Your Recipes #

• Editing – Update formulas as ingredient quality or herd needs change.
• Exporting – Click the Excel Icon to download a detailed ingredient list for reference.
• Deleting – Remove outdated recipes to keep the “Recipe Book” organized.

💡 Best Practices #

• Reference Batch Size – Create formulas based on 100 KG batches to simplify scaling for larger herds.
• Stock Awareness – Always check the In Stock quantity to avoid designing recipes with unavailable ingredients.
• Stall Filtering – When targeting specific animals, filter by stall to quickly locate them without scrolling the entire herd.
• Regular Updates – Adjust formulas when switching silage batches or when grain prices change to maintain accurate cost projections.
