Import prospective breeding animals

Top Previous Next

Cunitec can import data from an external file and add new animals to the offspring file.

The selection of prospective breeding animals from a litter may be carried out using farm specific criteria. The user may have a list of animals recorded in an external file and wish to add them into the Cunitec database. The data can be from the same farm or from another farm.

File format: Text file separated by semi-colon (;)

Position	Value
1	Dam ID
2	Litter ID
3	Birth date in yyyy/mm/dd or Cunitec format
4	Sire ID
5	Sex (0-female, 1-male)
6	Genetics
7	Id Prefix
8	offspring Id, multiple Ids must be separated by comma

The text file must be like:

P123;L123;2006/12/1;SI23;0;LW;PR;3,5
Q33;L123;2006/12/3;232;1;LW;PR;6

In the above example, the line 1 denotes:

Dam ID: P123
Litter ID: L123
Birth date: 2006/12/1
Sire ID: SI23
Sex: Female
offspring IDs: PR3 and PR5

Cunitec by default uses the data extracted from the database according to the Litter ID, however the data provided by the file has prevalence over the litter related data.

1.	Click Event Entry in the main menu

2.	Click Fill-In

3.	Under Import From External Files, click Import

4.	Select the file to import

5.	Select Offspring Entry and click OK
