#### **Usage**
A bag of sweet feed starts out unopened until right-clicked in hand to open. This gives the item's inventory texture a slightly crumpled appearance. Each bag of sweet feed can be used four times before it is used up (disappears). Right-click a [grain feeder](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/grain-feeder) with an open sweet feed bag in hand to fill up the feeder. [Horses](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/swequestrian-mod/chapter/horse "SWEM Horse") will eat from accessible grain and [hay-feeders](https://wiki.swequestrian.com/books/star-worm-equestrian-mod/page/hay-feeders) when hungry.

A grain feeder full of sweet feed (single serving).
