It would be useful if the config file had Oredictionary support for food items (for the stuff the animals eat).
This would make this mod a lot more compatible for future mods that have similar items that you already support.
I can already name one food item for the animals that is currently not supported but would be supported if it was using the oredictionary for a similar item:
Natura's barley, you already have Harvestcraft's barley on the list, but not Natura.
These cases would easily be solved by use of the oredictionary for ore:cropBarley (IIRC).

Ok, what your suggesting is that you can put the oreDictionary version into food config areas instead of the foods from individual mods. Would certainly save some time.

Yes, that is exactly what i mean.
It would save time and make the mod more compatible with some mods out of the box as well (if the config files were changed to reflect this addition).
