The breeding plan event is useful for assigning the next breeding type for each animal. The breeding plan event may be entered manually or through a protocol. The advantage of the protocol is that criteria can be used to modify the breeding plan accordingly for each breeding.
Short name: Plan
Types: Beef, Conventional, DNB, Donor, Hold, and Recipient.
Breeding Plan: shows most recent breeding plan event type recorded for each animal.
Report item may be used on
reports or sent to the phone as an item. Farms often combine Breeding Plan and
Sire matings (Sir1, Sir2….) for breeders.
A report or animal attributes may be used to enroll animals in the breeding plan protocols. The report criteria for each breeding plan protocol should be unique for each group of animals and include the breeding plan type to prevent reenrolling each night when the protocol runs.
