Breeder Performance Reports

Make data-driven breeding decisions with comprehensive performance reports. Track survival rates, litter sizes, breeding frequency, and production metrics to identify your best performers.

Report Types Overview

BunnySync provides several report types to analyze breeder performance:

Survival Rate Report

Track kit survival percentages by breeder to identify strong mothers and healthy lines.

Litter Size Analysis

Compare average litter sizes across breeders to find your most productive does.

Breeding Frequency

Monitor breeding intervals and success rates for optimal production scheduling.

Production Metrics

Calculate meat production, feed conversion, and overall breeding efficiency.

Survival Rate Analysis

The most critical metric for breeding success:

Understanding Survival Rates

Survival Rate = (Live Kits / Total Kits Born) × 100

This metric helps identify:

  • Best mothers with high kit survival
  • Genetic lines with strong vitality
  • Management issues affecting survival
  • Seasonal patterns in mortality

Survival Rate Benchmarks

Rating Survival Rate Action
Excellent 90% or higher Keep in breeding program
Good 80-89% Monitor and improve
Average 70-79% Investigate causes
Poor Below 70% Consider culling

Litter Size Analysis

Track productivity with litter size metrics:

Average Litter Size

Total kits born divided by number of litters

Avg = Total Kits / Total Litters
Live Litter Size

Average number of kits surviving to weaning

Live Avg = Weaned Kits / Total Litters
Breed Standards: Average litter sizes vary by breed. New Zealand Whites average 8-10 kits, while smaller breeds like Netherlands Dwarfs average 3-4 kits.

Breeding Frequency Report

Optimize your breeding schedule with frequency analysis:

Breeder Litters/Year Avg Days Between Success Rate
Luna 6 45 days 100%
Bella 5 52 days 83%
Daisy 4 65 days 80%

Key Metrics Explained

  • Litters/Year: Total litters in 12-month period
  • Days Between: Average rest period between weaning and rebreeding
  • Success Rate: Percentage of breeding attempts resulting in live litters

Production Metrics

For meat rabbit operations, track these key performance indicators:

Meat Production Metrics

Pounds Produced per Doe
(Kits Weaned × Avg Market Weight) / Does
Feed Conversion Ratio
Total Feed Used / Total Meat Produced

Using Reports for Decision Making

Culling Decisions

Use performance data to make objective culling decisions:

  • Survival rate consistently below 70%
  • Small litter sizes for the breed
  • Extended time between successful litters
  • Poor weight gain in offspring

Breeding Selection

Identify your best producers for breeding stock:

  • High survival rates (90%+)
  • Consistent large litters
  • Short breeding intervals
  • Quality offspring performance

Exporting and Sharing Reports

Share your breeding success with others:

Current Limitations: Report export features are basic. You can view reports on screen but advanced export options are planned for future updates.

Future Export Options

  • PDF reports with charts and graphs
  • Excel spreadsheets with raw data
  • CSV files for custom analysis
  • Email reports to veterinarians or buyers

Best Practices

🎯 Review Monthly

Check performance reports at least monthly to spot trends early and make timely decisions.

🎯 Compare Similar Breeds

Only compare performance between rabbits of similar breeds and purposes for accurate assessment.

🎯 Track Seasonally

Note seasonal variations in performance - many rabbits breed better in cooler months.

🎯 Document Decisions

Add notes explaining why you kept or culled based on reports for future reference.

🎯 Set Goals

Establish performance targets for your rabbitry and track progress toward those goals.

Common Issues

Ensure you have recorded litters and kit outcomes. Reports require completed breeding cycles with kit status updates (weaned, sold, died) to calculate metrics. Check that litters have been marked complete.

Verify all kit statuses are recorded accurately. Missing or incorrect status updates will skew survival calculations. Review recent litters to ensure all outcomes are documented.

Date range filtering is limited in current version. Reports show all-time data or current year. Advanced date filtering is planned for future updates. As a workaround, export data and filter in spreadsheet software.
