Match Making - Compare Pedigrees

This is without doubt one of the most powerful functions in HerdLogic™. Not only does this employ the dynamic pedigrees, but also allows you to print the result of your comparison. View a sample report in Adobe® Acrobat format.

Herd Inventory Report

The herd inventory report is available in two formats:

• A compressed format.
  This allows you to display the animals by owner, or by location. You can also select the order in which you want the animals to be listed. You can specify three sort keys in ascending, or descending, order for:
  Species, Registered name, Sex, Breed (or fleece type), Date of birth, Price, Primary color.
  You have the option to run a report for your entire herd, selected locations, or selected animals only. View a sample report in Adobe® Acrobat format.
• A detailed format.
  This report provides the same, and additional, information as above, but does not allow to group by location.

Breeding History Report

Available for reproductive males and females. The report is also available for all male animals that have entries in the breeding (mating) records. The report will list the names of males and females, their date of birth, registration number(s), names(s) of the owners. The report also lists if the service resulted in a pregnancy, and if this pregnancy progressed to term. The type of birth for the female and date she gave birth are also listed.

Reports on Guest Animals

This report will list all animals on your farm, ranch, or stud, that you indicated as guests. The report will list their arrival date, and the reason for stay. For females, the list will include if she arrived pregnant and if she had a nursing young at her side.

Pedigree Information - Genealogy

LamaLogic allows you to start anywhere on the pedigree chart. There is no need to enter the dam or sire first, or any of the ancestors. The Pedigree Tree builds in front of your eyes with each entry. When you enter the dam and sire for an animal in the pedigree tree, HerdLogic™ will automatically list it as progeny for that dam and sire.
View a Flash Movie: How to enter a Pedigree.

• Uniform indication for "unknown dam" and "unknown" sire.
  Some Alpaca breeders like to indicate that the dam or sire was unknown (e.g. Unknown Peruvian, Unknown Chilean, etc.). HerdLogic™, allows you to show these ancestors in the pedigree, without having to enters a master record.
• Automatic checking for valid birth dates when entering pedigrees.
  HerdLogic™, automatically checks the difference in age between offspring and parents when entered through the pedigree. The calculations are based on the sexual maturity tolerances you have set in your defaults.
• Pedigree explorer:
  The pedigree explorer in HerdLogic™ is unique. It is dynamic, and on the explorer you can instantly view the pedigree of any ancestor or progeny. You also can display the following information, date of birth, fleece type or breed, primary color, blood type, DNA case number, and fiber information (AFD, SD, CV, and +30%).
  
• Match making:
  Compare pedigrees of males and females to identify common ancestors.
• Breeding (mating) records:
  Information is recorded in the records for the female, but it also will automatically appear in the records for the servicing male. When recording a single or multiple birth, the offspring is automatically added as progeny for the dam and sire. A pedigree for each offspring is also automatically created.
• There is a direct link between the breeding (mating) records and pregnancy tests. Several types of tests are possible.

Herd sire list

The user can designate any intact male as a herd sire (stud). The animal will be added to the list as not-proven, unless:
The pedigree for the animal shows that he has produced offspring, or a birth has been recorded via a breeding record. When entering a breeding record for a female, any male listed on the herd sire list can be selected as a service sire.

Medical - Health related issues

Medical and health related records in HerdLogic™ are divided into two groups:

• Routine Health - Maintenance tasks
  These are designed to track routine health treatments and tasks such as de-worming, vaccinations, nail trimming, hoof trimming, etc. You can perform these tasks for a single animal, or for any group of animals in your herd at once.
• Special Medical Records
  Medical treatments that are not routinely administered can be tracked separately. There is space for 32,000 characters to describe the symptoms, diagnosis, and treatments for each entry and for each animal.
• Weight - Height / Body Score Records
  Enter this information for a single animal or a selected group in your herd at once.
  

Picture Album

Pictures for your animals can be easily added to the database. You can store an unlimited number of pictures for each animal.

Group Functions

HerdLogic™ allows you to make "group entries" for your entire herd, or selected groups, with information from any of the following categories:

• Routine health - maintenance tasks.
• Weight, height, or body score.
• Moving your herd, or groups within your herd.
  HerdLogic™ will automatically track the movement of animals within your herd. You can produce a report to show when each animal was moved from one location to another.

In HerdLogic™ you can track fiber samples, and other information, on different sections of the same fleece. You can record information for:

• Fiber samples: You can record AFD, SD, CV, +30%, sample size, spin fineness, 5% fibers above mean, mean fiber diameter, curve, mean opacity, Medullation by volume, and Medullation by weight.

• Show fleece: You can record the shearing method, the related fiber sample, name and year of the show, age division, fiber growth time, fleece weight, annual weight, judging information consisting of names of judges and their comments.

Boarding and Guest Records

HerdLogic™ makes it easy to track your "guests". You have immediate answers to such questions as: When did a female arrive for breeding and was their nursing young at her side? When did she depart, how often was she serviced, and how was her pregnancy confirmed?

For long term, or short term, guests you can assign fee structures, to track boarding costs. An invoicing module is under development.

Breeder - Owner Records

Herd Information Manager - HIM

The Herd Information Manager in HerdLogic™ is a unique feature. It provides you with a calendar view of your daily, weekly and monthly tasks. When you enter a next scheduled date for any health maintenance procedure, weight measurement, or weight, or height measurement, HerdLogic™ will place the scheduled task automatically on the calendar in the HIM.
You can print the due dates for pregnant females, and task lists for all animals directly from the HIM.
