How we work it out
- Per female bred: each % = the count ÷ females bred × 100. So 56 kids from 50 does is 112% (twins are common in goats).
- Losses: pregnancy check − born alive (as a % of the pregnancy check count), and born alive − weaned (as a % of born alive).
- Target: target % × females bred − young born alive = how many more you’d need.
Some people work percentages per female that gave birth, or per female found pregnant - we use females bred, the most common way, so compare like with like. It’s arithmetic on your own counts, not a benchmark. Your vet, municipal agriculture office or the Philippine Carabao Center (for carabao and dairy) can help if losses look high. Nothing you type is stored or sent anywhere.
