Zoetis Genomic Breeding Type Import

This KB article will go over how to use the Zoetis Genomic Breeding Type Import. The process is pretty simple. The requirements to perform this import are:
  1. You are signed into a BoviSync herd
  2. You need to have Read/Write permissions in that herd

First we will need to create the file we want to import to update the breeding types of our animals. Start this process by downloading the btype.csv file attached to this KB article (or create your own). If you create your own there need to be two columns in the file. One for "HMID" and one for "BYTPE". HMID will be the eartag/ID of the animal and BTYPE is the breeding type of that animal.


Update the file with the animal IDs and breeding types in each of the respective columns. In our example you can see the animal IDs with each of the breeding types.


Once you have the .CSV file created and saved go to  Enter --> Interfaces.


Select the Manual Imports Tab, and find Zoetis Genomic Breeding Type from the drop down list and press continue or Click here

Click Choose file, and find the file you save previously and then select import.




Confirm your import by entering your username and password and select confirm



After the import finishes you can run a report to verify that the data was imported. As you can see the breeding type was update for each animal. Here is a report you can use as an example.
