System and method of facilitating animal propagation

摘要

The present invention provides a system and method of facilitating animal propagation. In one embodiment, the present invention utilizes data relating to the traits or characteristics of existing animals organized into various cow-bull pairs to predict the degree that those traits or characteristics will be exhibited by the offspring of one or more of the animal pairs. Such data is utilized to calculate the likelihood and/or probability that a pair of animals will produce offspring having one or more desirable characteristics. The present invention allows the user to enter preferences regarding one or more offspring traits. In one embodiment, the user may prioritize one or more traits such that greater weight is given to certain traits during calculation. Traits may also be maximized, minimized or optimized in order to address the needs of each individual user. Results may also be displayed and ranked according to one or more user preferences.
