<p>The feed market is becoming increasingly multinational and a whole lot of foreign feed suppliers distributes their products to the UK. This may cause problems when translating energy and protein values if you do not know the difference between the units used in the different countries.</p>
<p><img src="images/49-importforeignlists.png" alt="" /></p>
<p>For example, if you have a French feed list, the energy values are in UFC (French feed units for horses, net energy) and not in MJ digestible energy as is the standard in the UK. Protein is given as MADC (digestible crude protein) and not as Crude protein.<br />When importing a foreign feed list to a UK version of PC-Horse, the program translates the foreign energy and protein values automatically into the standard UK units, MJ digestible energy and Crude protein (CP).</p>
<p>The import of a foreign feed list (files with extension .pcf) is done in the same way as the <a marked="1" href="index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=3543&amp;Itemid=4495&amp;lang=de">import of a German feed list.</a></p>
<p>Once you have imported the foreign feed list, you can <a marked="1" href="index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=3539&amp;Itemid=4488&amp;lang=de">copy in the usual way the entire list's contents, </a>or just the feeds you are interested in, to your respective stable feed lists.</p>
<p>At each import PC-Horse translates energy and protein values into the UK units.<br />You can read more about the different energy units here in our monthly article from our <a marked="1" href="index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=category&amp;id=616&amp;Itemid=4414&amp;lang=de">achive</a>. Look up the April 2014-article.</p>
