<p>In all versions of PC-Horse there is a set of standard, non-branded feeds (pasture grass, hay, oats, vegetable oil and many more) under the "brand" GENERIC FEED. We have based the values ​​for the nutrients in these feeds on tables from public sources, trying to match relevant feeds for the region.</p>
<p>There are generic feeds in all categories in the guaranteed feeds list:</p>
<ul>
<li>Roughage</li>
<li>Concentrate mix</li>
<li>Vitamin/Mineral mix</li>
</ul>
<p>Generic feeds serve several purposes for users of PC-Horse:</p>
<ul>
<li>As a template to retrieve default values for nutrients in feeds where only energy and protein is analysed</li>
<li>As a source of information on the content of nutrients in different qualities of feeds you can buy</li>
</ul>
<p>Our ambition is to document some of the variation in the quality of the generic feeds, and make appropriate feeds available for selection in PC-Horse. This is particularly important when the quality of the roughages in the horse feed markets deviate considerably from normal, for example, after a wet summer.</p>
<p>Often, the name of a feed gives a direct indication of its quality, eg. "Hay, late harvest", or it may be "Oats, 55 kg/L". In addition, you can read a brief comment about the nutritional properties when you view the feeds in the program.</p>
<p>PC-Horse is now working to develop a partnership with companies that make commercial forage analysis for feed manufacturers and horse owners, with the aim of making roughage analyses more easily available for users of PC-Horse.</p>
