Breeding

When female gets new litter, you need to add the breeding information into the database. The program will then automatically remind you when the pups are old enough to wean and tag&tail (if tag&tail before wean). You can find the wean list in the task calendar, or click on the mian window. After you wean the pups, you need to add new mouse records for the weaned mice, and update the breeding informaion to remove the female from the wean list.

There are two ways to input new breeding information:

1: Click Menu->Mouse->Input Plug Information (or Input Breeding Information), or click the buttons on the toolbar of the main window:

2: In the “Cage” window, double click the female record. The cage type must be "Mating" or "Breeding" for adding breeding information.

There are three ways to update breeding information:

1: In the “Cage” window, double click the breeding record.

2: Search the mating history of the female by Menu->Mouse->Mouse Mating History, or click on the main window, then double click the record in the “Mating History” window to modify.

3: In the "Wean List" window, double click the breeding record.
