Open a program (or select New batch program).
| Field | Notes |

| Remark | Optional notes. |
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Product | The feed grade or medicine/vaccine. |
| Quantity per Bird | For feed, the total quantity per bird in grams. For medicines, enter 0. |

The on-screen hint says it clearly: “For Feed enter total quantity in grams. For medicines enter zero.” Feed rows drive feed projection; medicine/vaccine rows drive the vaccination schedule and alerts.
How the program is used on a batch
When you create a batch you pick one program. After that:- The batch’s Projection tab forecasts feed demand using the program plus the batch’s feed lead time and safety stock days.
- On each day entry, the Feed Type is pre-selected based on the program and the batch’s current age — the supervisor only changes it if a different feed was actually used.
- The batch’s Daily Schedule tab shows the program laid out against the flock’s calendar.
