A common master data set can support many animal references. Function example with synthetic data ## A common reference for many animals. 01 ### Standardize terms Commonly maintained root names support understandable assignment. 02 ### Document background Genetic background, marker information and descriptive characteristics remain available on strain. 03 ### Origin preserved Breeder and source information and associated information support tracking. surface example ## A look into the work area. Strain name, background, origin and technical information are bundled. [Example interface with synthetic data · strains manage: Strain name, background, origin and technical information are bundled.](https://fbiscience.com/en/functions/assets/mockups/stammverwaltung.png) Example representation with synthetic data. Design and functionality are configurable and may vary depending on the facility. [Enlarge image](https://fbiscience.com/en/functions/assets/mockups/stammverwaltung.png) ## From master data record to animal reference. Commonly maintained master information bundles specialist knowledge for many animals. Individual findings supplement this reference directly on the respective animal. - 01 ### strain search Before creating a new one, search for a suitable existing reference. - 02 ### Maintain description Document name, background and relevant characteristics. - 03 ### Add origin Assign breeders, reference identifiers and other specialist information. - 04 ### Use in animal context Use the appropriate reference and note individual deviations. ## functions in daily use. Maintain origin, genetic background and descriptive characteristics once on strain and use this common reference for the associated animals. What information is maintained on the strain? Strain name, origin, genetic background, marker information and descriptive characteristics bundle the common knowledge. How does this help with animal management? A common root reference makes it easier to assign many animals and standardizes recurring information. Individual animal findings remain documented on the respective animal. Can technical information be added? Descriptive fields record health, stress and other technical information. The responsible persons maintain content and usage. Example representation with synthetic data. Design and functionality are configurable and may vary depending on the facility. ## Let’s discuss your workflows. Together we will clarify what scope suits your facility and what the introduction can look like. [Let’s talk](https://fbiscience.com/en/contact/)
