The Mix List is a handy tool that helps you figure out exactly how much of each feed component you need at different total weight levels. Think of it as a recipe scaler for your rations — you pick a ration, set your weight range, and the system calculates everything for you.
From the top menu, click Feed, then select Mix List.
You'll see two panels: Ration Details on the left and Report Parameters on the right.
Use the Ration dropdown to select the ration (feed recipe) you want to work with. Once selected, the components and their percentages will load automatically in the Mix Order table.
If you'd like to change the order in which components are mixed, simply click on a component row to highlight it, then use the Up or Down buttons to move it. The order you set here will be saved automatically when you generate the report.
Tip: The mix order is saved per ration, so next time you open the same ration, your custom order will still be there.
Fill in the four fields on the right panel:
The Cumulative checkbox controls how weights are displayed:
Tip: Your parameter settings are remembered automatically. Next time you open Mix List, they'll be pre-filled with your last values.
Click the Generate button. The mix list table will appear below, showing each component's required amount at every weight level.
The report is organized in sections of up to 7 columns each. If your weight range is large, you'll see multiple tables stacked, each covering the next set of weight levels.
Note: If you change the ration or reorder components after generating, the report will hide automatically to remind you to click Generate again with the updated settings.
Once your report is generated, you'll see two buttons next to the report title:
| Action | How |

| Open Mix List | Feed menu → Mix List |
| Reorder components | Click a row, then click Up/Down |
| Generate report | Click Generate |

The Mix List makes it easy to plan your feed mixing at any scale. Whether you're mixing a small batch or preparing for a full day's feeding, just pick your ration, set your range, and let the system do the math.
