Silo and Feed
Feed ingredients are raw materials that can be dosed into a weigher/blender. The (theoretical) stock per feed
ingredient and per silo can be registered in the control computer. Use the energy value and the price per feed
ingredient to register the data per feed place as well as consumption per feed ingredient.

Silo
Readout of the silo name.
Ingredient
Readout of the ingredient in the silo.
Amount
Readout of the amount in the silo (kg).
The control computer updates the amount in stock per silo and per feed
ingredient while entering bulked stock and while dosing out feed ingredients.
The actual stock and the stock shown on the control computer may differ, as
the stock is based on registered amounts being supplied or dosed out. The
actual supply and consumption may differ due to the error margin of weighing
and dosing-in equipment. A negative stock may occur, for example if the
bulked stock has not yet been registered in the control computer.
