# How do I set Up Feed Types?

## Feed Types are an important way to keep your Orders accurate by using the right Bulk Density for each Order.

To set up a new feed, click on the Settings icon on the left hand side of the home page (Gear icon).

You will automatically land on the Feeds page where you will see all of the feeds you already have set up. From here, you will click ‘Add’ in the right hand corner and a window will pop up for you to input the feed information.

Enter the Feed Name and Bulk Density to get up an running quickly, otherwise you can also add a Formula Id or Texture for similar products to help identify which is which. 

To edit a feed you’ve already added, simply click on the feed type, enter the new information and hit Save.

Note: the bulk density will change on the next order, it won't change the bulk density immediately, this is to account for feed already in the bin.
