AnimalTrace
For breeders and breeding programs

Keep every animal's records ready for the next sale, registration, or pairing.

Bring in the DNA reports and pedigrees you already have. See what's confirmed or missing, and check pairings for carrier risk and inbreeding before you breed.

Free for up to 5 animals. Breeding checks come with Client Pro.

What you can do today

Start with the records. Add the breeding tools when you need them.

Client Free gives every animal a real record. Client Pro adds the checks and planning tools you use before a breeding.

Free Free

Bring in old reports

Upload DNA reports, pedigrees, clearances, and registration papers. AI reads them, you confirm what it found, and the original file stays attached.

See what's confirmed and what's missing

Each animal shows what is complete, missing, out of date, or in conflict, with the source behind every fact.

With Client Pro Client Pro

Check a pairing

See the chance of affected, carrier, or clear offspring for conditions both animals have lab carrier results for.

See inbreeding before you breed

Get the pedigree inbreeding coefficient (COI) for a pairing, with the shared ancestors behind it, in the pairing simulator.

Rank mates for one animal

Rank candidates with the reasons shown. Filter out at-risk pairings and set a limit on inbreeding.

Plan a season

Lay out a season of pairings and see where inbreeding is heading, with diversity planning and genetic rescue when a line needs new blood.

Keep a decision journal

Record what you decided and why, then add the outcome later, against the evidence you had at the time.

Share Animal Passports

Share a chosen part of a record with a buyer, a vet, a registry, or another breeder, for as long as you choose.

The animal list in the AnimalTrace app: a Labrador Retriever with released results, a Maine Coon waiting for records, and a Quarter Horse with a sample received, each showing what it needs next.

What the checks use

A check is only as good as the records behind it.

AnimalTrace shows what each check was based on, so you know how far to trust it.

  • Carrier risk uses the lab carrier results on record for both animals. Results you bring in from old reports appear on the record now; using them in pairing checks is coming.
  • Inbreeding comes from the pedigree on record. Ancestors that aren't recorded can't be counted, so fill in the pedigree before you rely on a low number.
  • Coverage depends on the conditions set up for your species. Horses, dogs, and cats are covered today; ask us about the conditions you test for.

Breeding programs

Running a bigger program?

Program Intelligence shows a whole program at once: which animals are ready, how diverse your lines are, and which tests would let you check the most pairings. We set it up with you as a guided pilot.

Questions

Before you start.

Do I need Client Pro to check a pairing?
Yes. Client Free keeps records for up to 5 animals and reads your old reports. Pairing checks, mate ranking, planning tools, and Animal Passports come with Client Pro.
Which conditions can it check?
Conditions AnimalTrace has set up for your species, for animals that have a lab carrier result on record. Tell us which conditions you test for and we will confirm.
Can I use the reports I already have?
Yes. Upload them and confirm what AnimalTrace reads, and they join the animal's record straight away. Using results from uploaded reports in pairing checks is coming.
Does AnimalTrace score breeders?
No. Rankings are for a goal you set, with the reasons shown. AnimalTrace does not publish breeder scores.
