3. Click the upper button […]

In a pop-up window all male animals are shown
4. Select the male animals you want to include in the matrix
This can be done in several ways:

5. Click the lower button […]
The pop-up window shows all the female animals.
6. Select the female animals you want to include in the matrix in the same way as you did for the males.
After males and females are chosen the link Display breeding advisory matrix appears at the top of the screen. In case of errors click Clear above the field.
