Managing your feed ingredients allows you to easily organize active ingredients as well as archiving other ingredients not in use for a later date. When ingredients are archived, they are hidden from your Inventory tab, however any data associated with them still exists and the ingredient can be unarchived at any time. You may only archive ingredients not currently in use and ingredients must be active to use them in a ration.
