Why shouldn't chickens eat oats if you want them to? Or make grass more effective for cows? This mod gives you control over food effectiveness, crop assignments, mixed feed recipes, TMR compositions, serial/parallel consumption, and food consumption speed - all without modifying map files.
Supports multiplayer.
