Rabbitry glossary
Every term these docs use, in one place — standard rabbitry vocabulary first, then the handful of words that mean something specific inside OmniBurrow, then the measurements the analytics are built on. If a guide uses a word you do not recognize, it is here.
Rabbitry terms
Buck — a male rabbit.
Charlie — a broken-patterned rabbit carrying two copies of the English spotting gene (En/En),
which produces very light markings. OmniBurrow labels this genotype "Charlie" rather than predicting
an ordinary broken.
Doe — a female rabbit.
Dress-out percentage — dressed carcass weight as a percentage of live weight, calculated for you from the two weights you record. Alongside it OmniBurrow works out edible yield (edible meat over dressed weight) and meat-to-bone ratio. See Processing & Harvest.
Ear tag — the permanent identifier tattooed in a rabbit's ear. In OmniBurrow it is also one of the fields used to recognize the same animal twice, when importing records or merging duplicates.
Fryer — a young rabbit raised for meat, typically processed around 4–5 lb live weight.
Grow-out — the period between weaning and either processing or being kept back. See also grow-out group, below.
Junior / Intermediate / Senior — ARBA show age divisions, computed from the breed's scheme, the rabbit's date of birth, and the show date rather than typed. In a four-class breed a rabbit is a junior under 6 months and a senior from 6 months. In a six-class breed — the large and giant breeds — it is a junior under 6 months, intermediate from 6 to under 8 months, and a senior from 8 months. See ARBA Breeds & Show Classes and Shows & Entries.
Leg — a qualifying win toward a grand champion. OmniBurrow counts them per rabbit and, on the third, records the date and asks for the GC number.
Kindling — a doe giving birth. A litter's date kindled is the day the kits arrived.
Kit — a baby rabbit, from birth until you graduate it into its own record or it leaves.
Nest box — the enclosed box a doe kindles in. A recurring nest-box task is one of the most common reminders breeders set up.
Palpation — feeling a doe's abdomen to check whether she is pregnant. Recording a breeding puts a palpation reminder on your list automatically, 14 days later by default.
Peanut — a kit carrying two copies of the dwarf gene (Dw/Dw), which is not viable. OmniBurrow
marks that combination lethal rather than predicting a live kit.
Pedigree — a rabbit's recorded ancestry. In OmniBurrow it is generated from parent links rather than being a document you maintain.
REW — ruby-eyed white, the c/c genotype.
SOP — the ARBA Standard of Perfection, the written standard each breed is judged against.
Tattoo — the marking in the ear that carries the ear tag.
Variety — the recognized colour or pattern within a breed. Which varieties are available depends on the breed you pick.
Weaning — separating kits from the doe, ending the nest-box stage of a litter.
OmniBurrow terms
Barn Scan — mobile-only continuous scanning: scan a cage card's QR code, log a weight or health event, and the camera re-arms for the next cage. See Barn Scan.
Bucket (phenotype bucket) — a counted group of look-alike kits inside a litter — "4 broken black does" — instead of one record per kit. Keeps litter entry fast when you do not need per-kit detail. The mobile app calls these variety groups. See Kits & Phenotype Buckets.
Carrier hint — the genetics engine's way of saying "this rabbit probably carries this recessive, at this probability", used when the evidence comes from a grandparent or great-grandparent rather than a parent. See Genetics Engine.
Conflict — what OmniBurrow raises when two devices changed the same record in ways that cannot both be kept. Safe fields merge on their own, last edit winning per field; protected fields stop and ask you rather than being silently overwritten. A conflicted record is parked until you decide, while everything else keeps syncing. See Conflict Resolution.
Data entry session — picking a set of animals — all of them, just the does, one breed — then recording the same thing for each in turn without navigating back and forth. Called Rapid entry on mobile. See Data Entry Sessions.
Deposit — money a buyer puts down before a sale. It attaches to a waitlist entry rather than straight to the contact, and once marked received it sits on your books as pending money of its own.
Applied deposit — a deposit that has been credited to a completed sale. Applying it removes the pending row so the money is not counted twice, pins it to the rabbit that was sold, and marks the waitlist entry fulfilled. An applied deposit cannot be deleted. See Deposits & Sales.
Graduation — turning a kit, or one animal out of a bucket, into a full rabbit record. It inherits parents, breed, variety, date of birth, and any weights recorded against the kit, and the litter's live-kit count drops by one. See Weaning & Graduation.
Allocation (feed allocation) — a record saying how much feed a rabbit, litter, or grow-out group ate over a given period. Buying feed gives you a cost; allocating it is what makes a conversion ratio possible. See Feed Tracking.
Grow-out group — a named batch being raised together, with a start date, a cage, and a link to its litter, so feed can be allocated to the batch in one entry. There is no per-animal roster — the litter link is the association, and it is also what the gain side of the batch's conversion figure is read from. See Grow-Out Groups & Allocations.
Line — a named group of related rabbits you assign yourself, so you can compare families. Not derived automatically. See Lines & Lineage.
Outbox — the queue on your phone holding changes made offline until they upload. Rows are retried with a growing gap between attempts and are never discarded. Visible in Sync Diagnostics.
Quick Log — the mobile + button: the jobs you do most, two taps away, grouped into daily care, herd & breeding, records, and sales. Which actions appear and in what order is configurable. See Quick Log & Search.
Transfer (pedigree transfer) — handing a rabbit and its ancestry to another OmniBurrow account. A two-sided handshake, and the one feature that needs both parties online. See Pedigree Transfers.
Withdrawal period — the time after a treatment during which an animal must not be processed. OmniBurrow computes a clear date from the last day of the course plus the withdrawal days you recorded on the medication, then blocks processing that animal until the date passes unless you override it with a written reason. A medication with no withdrawal days set produces no clear date and no block. See Treatments & Withdrawal Periods.
Measurements and analytics
ADG — average daily gain, in ounces per day. OmniBurrow's default target is 1.5 oz/day, adjustable in settings, and it drives growth charts and projected butcher dates. See Weights & Average Daily Gain.
COI — coefficient of inbreeding: the probability that two copies of a gene in an animal are identical because they came from a shared ancestor. Full siblings are 25%, half siblings 12.5%, first cousins 6.25%. Calculated by Wright's path method — see Genetics Engine.
FCR — feed conversion ratio: pounds of feed divided by pounds of weight gained. Requires feed to be allocated to animals or groups, not merely purchased, and at least two weights on the same target inside the period so there is a gain to divide by. See Feed & Feed Conversion.
Locus (plural loci) — a position on a chromosome where a particular gene sits. OmniBurrow models 13 colour loci; a rabbit carries two alleles at each.
Projected butcher date — when a grow-out is expected to reach your target weight, calculated from its latest weight and your ADG target. With no weight recorded yet it falls back to date of birth plus your target butcher age (70 days by default). See Weights & Average Daily Gain.
