Column or Code Description
? We don't know the teat structure.
1/1 There is a single teat on each side of the doe's udder.
1/2 There is a single teat on one side and two teats on the other side of the doe's udder.
2/2 There are two teats on each side of the doe's udder
B or D This identifies the sex as a Buck or Doe.
BT This identifies a bottle teat that gets very large in diamater and hard for kids to nurse from.
F There is one or more fish teats on one or both sides. We will not have any sires with this but we may have a good doe with fish teats and we want to know if it can be bred out. If it is passed on to offspring, both dam and offspring will be culled.
Teats This identifies the teat structure of the sire, dam or kids. This is the main effort to see the impact of sire and dam teat structures on the kids teat structures.
J There are basically two different teats on a side but have a "joined" base. This is not a positive or a negative at this time. Need to see what the impact is on offspring.
M There are more than two teats per side. This is a negative.
N There are one or more nubs or small teats on one or both side but they will have no impact on kids nursing. This is a follow-up flag to see if the nubs have any impact on the offsprings teat structure. If the nubs show up on the offspring, we will want to look at the teat structure of the sire and dam. We will never breed a sire and dam that both have nubs.
O Multiple orifices for a singe teat
S There is one or more split teats on one or both side. It doesn't matter how much of a split there is. There will never be a sire with this but we may have a good doe that we want to see if the split can be bred out. If it is passed on to offspring, both dam and offspring will be culled.
Sire, Dam, Kids This identifies the sire and dam that were bred and the resulting kids from the breeding. If no kids are listed, the doe has not kidded yet.
Status This indicates if we have confirmed that the teats are functional for does having  two teats on either side. This will stay blank until the doe has kidded and we have tested all teats supply some milk.
W This indicates there is a wide space between each teat on one side. This is only used when there are two teats per side. This is good because it means there is plenty of room for two kids to nurse from one side at the same time. It is also an indication that one teat will likely be higher and farther away from the hind leg making it easier for newborn kids to find it fast.

 

This will be an ongoing collection of the teat structure status from breedings. The following questions will be analyzed from these results.

  • What is the impact of the teat structure of the sire on the offspring?

  • What is the impact of breeding one animal with 1/1 teat structure to another animal with 2/2 teat structure?

  • What is the impact of breeding a buck with clean teat structure to a doe with teat structure issues?

  • Can fish teats and split teats be cleaned up by breeding with a clean teated buck?

  • What is the impact on offspring if the doe has nubs?
