Feed batch: farm glossary
A feed batch is an identified quantity from a particular delivery, harvest or other source. Batches distinguish materials sold under the same feed name but obtained at different times. A batch name connects the feed in store with its purchase, sample and analysis. These details identify which result belongs to which delivery.

A farm example
Two hay deliveries can belong to separate batches even when both are alfalfa. Each delivery can have its own harvest details, moisture and nutrient analysis.
Everyday use
