Check out the latest features and improvements made in FeedComp:

FeedComp Release v1.4.3451 - April 2026

Enhancements

  • Streamlined feeding amount edits: To save you time and reduce navigation steps, you can now edit penClosed Pen number amounts directly within the Edit Mix screen. When you adjust a pen target, the app automatically recalculates ingredient totals in real-time, ensuring your load is accurate before you start mixing. This update also includes smarter capacity warnings and simplified data entry—using whole numbers for As-Fed (AFClosed As fed) and decimals for Dry MatterClosed The dry weight of an ingredient with no mositure. (DM/HDClosed Dry Matter per Head)—so you can make fast, precise adjustments on the fly.
  • Improved ingredient loading accuracy: We have updated the FeedComp loading logic to ensure ingredient weights are recorded accurately in your reports. This fix stabilizes how the app handles scale fluctuations during ingredient transitions, specifically when acknowledging (ACK) multiple ingredients in a row. By filtering out scale "noise," the app now prevents incorrect or negative weights from appearing in PULSE, ensuring your feeding history and usage data are always reliable and accurate.
  • Improved data refresh and sync reliability: We have updated the FeedComp mobile app to ensure your feeding data stays current, even when your device is offline or the app is running in the background. This fix resolves issues where completed loads failed to drop off the schedule or new data didn't sync correctly during the daily reset. As a result, you can rely on an accurate feeding schedule and reports every morning without needing to manually restart or reinstall the app.

Bug Fixes

  • Missing or incomplete load fixes: We made several improvements to help prevent or diagnose missing or incomplete loads.

The FeedComp team is working hard to bring you new features and enhancements, but some updates may not be fully ready or supported yet. Review the list of tips, known issues, and workarounds for FeedComp:

  • Uninstall and redownload FeedComp if the app won't open: Uninstall your current version of FeedComp, then download the latest version. You can search for FeedComp in your device's app store or tap these links from your device: Android or iOS.
  • Use online modeClosed The value that appears most often in a set of data. to ensure data is synced and saved correctly: Whenever possible, use online mode in the FeedComp App when creating or editing ingredients or recipes.
  • Use standard workflows to ensure the best performance: To ensure that the current version of FeedComp works correctly, avoid mixing units, editing during feeding, or switching devices mid-task.
  • Keep the app open during feedings: For the best experience, keep the app open during feedings to ensure that feeding processes are not disrupted and everything runs smoothly.
  • Sync your data if completed feedings are still marked incomplete: Make sure you sync the app data before manually completing a record from the Feed History report. Some feedings may appear Incomplete until the data is fully synced. This helps prevent losing or overwriting data that is already saved in the app.
  • Check your Feeding Schedule if you have multiple split feedings: If you have multiple split feedings, check your Feeding Schedule to make sure that your feedings are ordered correctly. Reorder the feedings if needed.
  • Set the mixer's Drop Tolerance value to at least 1: If you use a Topcon Digi-Star scale and the FeedComp App will not complete a drop or automatically advance to the next pen, make sure that the mixerClosed A piece of farm equipment that mixes all the loaded ingredients for a feed recipe. Mobile mixers are most common, but stationary mixers also exist.'s Drop Tolerance is set to a minimum value of 1. If you use 0 for the Drop Tolerance value, the FeedComp App may not complete drops correctly. To update your mixer's Drop Tolerance, tap Adjustments at the bottom of the FeedComp App screen, tap Equipment, and select the mixer to make your changes.
  • Update ingredients stored in multiple locations: If you store ingredients in multiple locations, make sure your ingredient data is updated correctly in all known locations. If you are not seeing accurate ingredient data in a known location, manually refresh the app. You can also update the recipeClosed A combination of ingredients used to make feed for animals ingredient in the mobile app. If the old location is still visible, set the new location and the correct DM/AF, if needed.

FeedComp Release v1.4.3413 - April 2026

  • Data logging and saving fix: We improved how data is synced and saved to help prevent incomplete and missing loads.
  • DM/HD accuracy fix: Weighbacks are now included in Dry Matter per Head (DM/HD) calculations, resulting in more accurate values. The corrected DM/HD values are shown in the DM Intake Report and on the DM/HD History tab for each pen.

FeedComp Release v1.4.3388 - March 2026

Enhancements

Improved premix reporting: In this release, we made it easier to identify and distinguish premixes (and their ingredients) from recipes in the following reports:

  • In the Projections Report, use the new Expand Premix Ingredients toggle to control how premix ingredients are shown in projections to prevent double counting.
    • When disabled, premix and recipe ingredients are listed separately. Each premix is shown as a single projected total that includes all of its ingredients. You can expand the premix name to see ingredient-level details.

    • When enabled, ingredients are grouped together whether they are used in a premix or a recipe. Each ingredient has a single projected total, and ingredients used in premixes are marked by an asterisk (*).

  • The Ingredient Usage Report now lists whether ingredients are used in premixes or in regular feedings, so you can fully understand your actual ingredient costs and better forecast your herd's feeding needs.
