How to create lineage records
How to add and view lineage records on your farm. Either from new or existing animals.
1. Create lineage record on animal
To create a lineage record you will initially have to select the 'Lineage' tab to see existing and add lineage records.
We can add parents to an animal but for this example we will start the lineage tree from this animal and click ‘Add offspring’.
2. Add new animal or select existing animal
When adding lineage records you have the choice of adding a new birth to your FlockFinder records if you are adding offspring or to choose an existing animal from your records.
We will choose an existing animal for this example. If you would like to learn more about registering births please visit this article.
3. Add offspring
To add offspring from animals that you already have in the app, click the circled links. Here I have added just one animal which is circled in the 'First offspring', if I wanted to add another I would click the circled the other circled link.
4. Add Sire (Optional)
We can also add the sire of the offspring, to do this click the input box and select the sire.
5. Review and confirm
Review that all the records are correct and click yes to continue.
6. View lineage
Now you will notice that the lineage record has been added in the tab this confirms the lineage has been added to this animal. If you click the the individual animals in this tab it will take you to that offspring's records and you will see the parents in the lineage tab.
