Use this page to define which feed types (hay, concentrate, …) and which daily feeding times are available in your feed schema.

## Good to know
- Feed types and feeding times belong to the selected stable; changes affect all horses in that stable.
- Only users with admin rights see the **Average price** column for feed types.
- If no feed types or feeding times exist, a placeholder message informs you that the list is empty.

<!-- help-docs: tile feed-types -->

3. To remove a feeding, click the **⋯** icon, choose **Remove**, then confirm with **Remove** in the dialog (or cancel with **Cancel**).

### Good to know
- The list shows the feeding times set for the currently selected stable and refreshes after any change.
- The **Add feeding time**, **Edit**, and **Remove** actions are only available if you have rights to manage feedings.
- Times are displayed in 24‑hour format and sorted chronologically.
