animal feed would allow to herd goats or breed rabbits allow a friendlier status to lesser aggressive fauna, and have a vegan status

A feedbag could be added to crafting. Tamed animals should have a slot added to 'attach' the feedbag. We can craft cloth armor, so something like this would be easy to craft.

This idea is brilliant! I never understood how tamed animal stop being able to feed themself like wild ones do and it makes it quite annoying to travel with them. That would be an easy an great solution.

My moa didn't eat until berries were placed ahead of animal feed. I don't think it recognizes animal feed as food. PC hardware exceeds or meets recommended specs.

Juvenile animals starving while animal feed is in the food trough.

Also, the mechanism that triggers the animals to look for food seems to be a bit broken - often I will need to ride the animal for a split second and then dismount which triggers the animal to seek food/water.

I just discovered this today. My tamed buffalo didn't eat until I added berries. Once the berries were added, it ate the animal feed, not the berries.

Animal feed is currently I believe the only food item to give a buff to creatures so it may be treating it as a consumable use item instead of "food" like a potion etc. I know for me I will fill them with whatever I have but only use the costly feed to give the extra stamina boost.
