A method for mixing batches of feed according to selected recipes, wherein the batches of feed are to be fed to at least one group of animals, comprises the steps of: charging a feed mixer with ingredients according to a first recipe; mixing the ingredients according to the first recipe in the feed mixer, thereby producing a first batch of mixed feed according to the first recipe; discharging mixed feed of the first batch from the feed mixer; determining the amount of mixed feed of the first batch left in the feed mixer after discharging, and deducing the composition thereof based on the first recipe; providing a second recipe according to which ingredients are to be charged into the feed mixer; modifying the second recipe based on the determined amount of mixed feed of the first batch left in the feed mixer and the deduced composition thereof; charging the mixer with ingredients according to the modified second recipe; and mixing the ingredients according to the modified second recipe in the feed mixer with mixed feed of the first batch left in the feed mixer, thereby producing a second batch of mixed feed, wherein the modified second recipe is determined such that the second batch of mixed feed is a batch of mixed feed substantially according to the second recipe or having a similar nutritional content as a batch of feed according to the second recipe.
