--- title: Adjust Feedings slug: pl-check-links/adjust-feedings docTags: createdAt: 2026-02-23T07:45:11.024Z --- FeedComp allows you to create, adjust, and maintain the feedings included in your dairy’s feeding schedule. To follow your dairy's current feeding schedule and feed your animals, see [Feed Using the Feeding Schedule](docId\:acJ67fJS4bzVcoyPKeur2). All of your dairy’s current feedings are listed on the Locationscreen. The feeder will generally follow the order displayed, moving left to right and top to bottom. See the topics below for help adjusting feedings. Expand the sections below to learn more: ::::ExpandableHeading ## View Upcoming Feedings FeedComp allows you to Add all upcoming feedings, ingredient loads, and pen drops at any time—even if today’s feedings are complete. If no feedings are available, you can create a new one. See [Create New Feeding](docId\:bLpnMyM2qGf6EbQeuak3l) to get started!

FeedComp can split feedings when adding/editing feedings or when changing pen/feeding counts, and you can save or cancel the changes before feeding starts. FeedComp divides the load into equal parts, recalculates ingredients, and updates pen counts for you. By removing the need for feeders to calculate splits manually, this feature reduces errors, improves efficiency, and helps protect equipment from overload.

Other updates can be made after the feeding schedule resets. - If the first split has not started when the equipment assigned to a split feeding is changed, the splits are recalculated. - Once the first split begins, FeedComp does not recalculate the splits. Instead, it applies the outcomes described in Scenarios [2](docId\:bLpnMyM2qGf6EbQeuak3l), [3](docId\:bLpnMyM2qGf6EbQeuak3l), and [4](docId\:bLpnMyM2qGf6EbQeuak3l) below. :::ExpandableHeading ### Scenario 1: Standard Split Feeding **When This Happens: **A recipe load is bigger than the mixer capacity, and you approve it to be split before feeding starts. **What **FeedComp** Does:** - Divides the load into equal parts - Recalculates ingredient amounts for each split - Updates pen counts **What You See in **[Scheduled Feedings](docId\:acJ67fJS4bzVcoyPKeur2)**:** - Splits created as planned - All splits listed and ready for feeding **What You See in **[Feeding History](docId\:k8klx0Auz0cFTxz1xXoS3)**: **Splits reflect the actual feeding status (completed, incomplete, aborted, or missing). **Why It Matters: **You get accurate splits without doing any math by hand. FeedComp automatically splits the recipe load to safely fit within mixer capacity. ::: :::ExpandableHeading ### Scenario 2: Splits Partially Completed, Equipment Changed, New Mixer Larger Than Remaining Load **When This Happens: **You start with splits, then switch to a mixer larger than what’s left in the load. **What **FeedComp** Does:** - Keeps completed and/or in-progress splits as is - Merges the remaining load into one final split **What You See in **[Scheduled Feedings](docId\:acJ67fJS4bzVcoyPKeur2)**:** - Completed and/or in-progress splits are **Completed** - Remaining splits merged into one new split **What You See in **[Feeding History](docId\:k8klx0Auz0cFTxz1xXoS3)**: **Splits reflect the actual feeding status (completed, incomplete, aborted, or missing). **Why It Matters: **FeedComp reorganizes the feeding automatically; no manual adjustment needed. ::: :::ExpandableHeading ### Scenario 3: Splits Partially Completed, Equipment Changed, New Mixer Smaller Than Remaining Load but Large Enough for Each Split **When This Happens: **You switch to a smaller mixer that can’t hold the whole remaining load, but can hold each split. **What **FeedComp** Does:** - Completed and/or in-progress splits are **Completed** - Keeps remaining splits as is **What You See in **[Scheduled Feedings](docId\:acJ67fJS4bzVcoyPKeur2)**:** - Completed and/or in-progress splits are **Completed** - Splits not started yet remain separate and ready to feed **What You See in **[Feeding History](docId\:k8klx0Auz0cFTxz1xXoS3)**: **Splits reflect the actual feeding status (completed, incomplete, aborted, or missing). **Why It Matters: **Splits remain accurate without any recalculation required. In this case, you may choose to manually recalculate the remaining splits, depending on how much total load remains and how many pens still need to be fed. ::: ::::ExpandableHeading ### Scenario 4: Splits Partially Completed, Equipment Changed, New Mixer Too Small for Remaining Load or Even a Single Split **When This Happens: **You switch to a mixer that can’t hold the remaining load or even one split. **What **FeedComp** Does:** - Completed and/or in-progress splits are **Completed** - Acknowledges that the chosen equipment cannot safely hold the remaining splits - Shows ::Image[]{src="https://api.qa.archbee.co/api/optimize/zICxj0dnLereb6UUrBA3-/LaF4iq_UonRSc6vQZOW7Y_alert-red-info2.png" size="10" isUploading="false" initialPath="../../../../Resources/Images/icons/alert-red-info2.png" githubPath="Content/Resources/Images/icons/alert-red-info2.png" position="flex-start" showCaption="false" indent="2"} :::Paragraph{indent="1"} ** \*\*\*\***Equipment Overcapacity warning for all remaining splits ::: **What You See in **[Scheduled Feedings](docId\:acJ67fJS4bzVcoyPKeur2)**:** ::Image[]{src="https://api.qa.archbee.co/api/optimize/zICxj0dnLereb6UUrBA3-/LaF4iq_UonRSc6vQZOW7Y_alert-red-info2.png" size="10" isUploading="false" initialPath="../../../../Resources/Images/icons/alert-red-info2.png" githubPath="Content/Resources/Images/icons/alert-red-info2.png" position="flex-start" showCaption="false"} ** \*\*\*\***Equipment Overcapacity warning displayed for all remaining splits. **What You See in **[Feeding History](docId\:k8klx0Auz0cFTxz1xXoS3)**: **Splits reflect the actual feeding status (completed, incomplete, aborted, or missing). **Why It Matters: **FeedComp prevents errors by flagging when the mixer is too small for the remaining splits. Similar to Scenario [3](docId\:bLpnMyM2qGf6EbQeuak3l), in this case you may choose to manually recalculate the remaining splits, depending on how much total load remains and how many pens still need to be fed. :::: ::::: ::::ExpandableHeading ## Delete Feeding 1.
