A Smarter Pedigree -- Inbreeding Check, Siblings & Certificates

The pedigree view has been rebuilt for clarity, and breeding planning gets serious help: an automatic inbreeding check when you pair a dam and sire, progeny-performance figures, full and half siblings, an ancestry-completeness indicator, and a downloadable pedigree certificate.

A Smarter Pedigree -- Inbreeding Check, Siblings & Certificates

This update makes the pedigree far more useful for real breeding decisions -- from a clearer family tree to an automatic inbreeding warning before you record a mating.

A Clearer Family Tree

The pedigree view has been rebuilt as a proper genealogy chart.

  • Maternal and paternal lines are now unambiguous -- each parent's own parents branch directly off it, with visible connector lines.
  • Sex markers (♀ / ♂) on every card, so colour is no longer the only cue.
  • Every ancestor and descendant is clickable to jump straight to its own pedigree, and the tree scrolls cleanly on the phone.
  • Parents on the animal's Details tab (Location & lineage) are now clickable links too.

Automatic Inbreeding Check

When you choose a dam and a sire in the mating form, Herdy now shows an inbreeding check before you save.

  • Predicted inbreeding coefficient (COI) of the offspring, graded from green ("unrelated") to red ("close relatives").
  • The shared ancestors driving the result are listed, so you can see why a pairing is risky.
  • Purely advisory -- you can still record the mating; it simply helps you avoid unintended close matings.

Progeny Performance

A breeding animal's Breeding tab now summarises how its offspring have performed:

  • Progeny count and number of birth events
  • Average litter size and live-birth rate
  • Average birth weight of the offspring
  • Birth-ease breakdown, and -- for dams -- the average mothering score

Siblings & Ancestry Completeness

The pedigree page now also shows:

  • Full siblings (same dam and sire) and half siblings (one shared parent), each as a clickable card.
  • An ancestry-completeness indicator in the header, so you can see at a glance how much of the family tree is known and where to fill gaps.

Downloadable Pedigree Certificate

  • A "Download certificate" button generates a printable pedigree certificate (PDF) with the animal's identity, its inbreeding coefficient, and its ancestors by generation -- ideal for breeding organisations or when selling breeding stock.

Behind the Scenes

  • Herdy now prevents impossible parentage -- an animal can no longer be recorded as its own ancestor, keeping the pedigree and the new inbreeding maths reliable.
