====Characteristics gained====
== Notes ==* Animals must be of the same species.* If breeding fails, you will receive a message that the male "shys away and interrupts the action".* If breeding fails or is successful and you attempt to breed again, the male animal will show that he's "not in the mood" until 45 real life minutes pass.* Females will not breed while they are pregnant. Once the female gives birth, she will not be in mood for breeding for 24 more hours, after which breeding may resume.* Animals do not have to be "fat" to breed, only "no longer interested in food" (when trying to feed them). Grass eaters will typically be in this state after Activate a minute or 2 on grass or crops.* [[AgeGrooming brush]] is a factor in breeding: [[calves]] or [[foal]]s will not breed, neither will young/early adolescent animals.* Breeding increases a player's [[soul depth]].* Pregnancy times varies from 5-11 wurm [[Time|weeks]], regardless of species. * Examining the animal will show the remaining wurm weeks left until birth. eg. and select ''She will deliver in about 4groom''* Animals can have miscarriages which can kill the mother with no child spawned. Starving, offwhile right-deed, or clicking on-deed below 15 ratio are known as the reasons for miscarriagesa groomable creature.* If too hungry or low on fat animals This can die when giving birth.* Breeding female animals with [[be done to each animal conditions|conditions]] such as Champion will provide a chance that the offspring will also have that characteristic. This chance is dramatically increased when breeding two animals with the same condition together. (Two Champions for example.)* Breeding two animals with the same trait greatly increases the chance that the offspring will have the trait.* The name is determined at birth, the traits are determined at breeding (noticed on a server revert on 2011-03-01)* The horse's color from birth is determined based on 1/3 by the mother, 1/3 by the father, and 1/3 by randomonce per hour.

Inbreeding has a negative effectAnimal husbandry is only partially on the [[Curve]]. It adds extra negative The curved value (effective skill) allows you see traits at that don't count against level (not true for bred in captivity trait which requires 60 numerical to see even on epic). But the actual value (numerical) is used for computing the regular number of traits poolyou can breed.
Inbreeding is mating with the father or mother or when the two animals have Examining an animal will show traits if one has the same father or mother. Basically if you only can find two horses you'll be ok in three generations. But it might be better to mate your horses with your neighbors horsesrequired skill level.
Players Inbreeding occurs when an offspring is bred with either of its parents. It's typically unavoidable in small herds but after 3 generations the requirement to inbreed will be removed; it's advised to seek neighbours to begin a herd if one wishes to avoid inbreeding. There is a chance to add extra negative traits to animals bred with their parents, which won't count towards the regular trait limit. Some players have observed that dead deceased parents don't will not count towards the 'inbreeding' check:at the time of birth.

If you can't care for more animals you'll get the message You may not care for any more creatures right now. You are already caring for 1 creatures. You can care for 1 animal and 1 extra animal for every 10 skill in animal husbandry. So at 40 Animal husbandry skill you can care for 5 animals.== Caring ==

To stop caring for a specific animal, you will need to right click the animal and 'care for' again.=== Notes ===
Autumn Refresh '14: Reorganised and added table for traits. May need a once-over by another editor fluent in AH as has some contradictory text.
''Animal husbandry'' allows for the production (breeding) of new creatures, sometimes with increased quality, without the need to wait for new [[spawn]]s.
Soul / [[Soul depth]]
== Method Grooming ==*Both of the [[animals]] you wish to breed must be not hungry. One must be a male and the other one a female. Lead one of them with a [[rope]] (note that some animals must be [[animal taming|tamed]] to be led) and move it close to the other one. Right-click on Grooming is the animal you are '''not''' leading and select the "Breed" option.*Grooming also main activity which gives animal husbandry skill gains. Activate a [[grooming brush]] and select ''groom'' while right-clicking on a groomable creature. You can groom animals once per hour .
== Traits Breeding ==Bred animals have * [[Lead]] one animal with a chance of having traits.[[rope]] (Enhancement/Deformityor any item should it be wearing a [[bridle]])and approach the second. Animals can have multiple traits. Traits are gained based on mechanics below:* All traits When they are put into the gene pool.* Parents' trait then add %chance that traits from parents will appear. if both parents have same trait, this %chance is even a lot higher.* Inbreeding add %chance that bad traits will appear.* Animal Husbandry is only partially close enough together right click on the Curve. The curved value (effective skill) allows you see traits at that level (not true for bred in captivity trait which requires 60 numerical to see even on epic). But the actual value (numerical) is used for computing second animal and select the number of traits you can breed"Breed" option.* Lastly, breeder's Animal Husbandry affects the minimum and maximum number of traits that will appear in a horse. (The maximum number of traits you can breed into one animal is currently 8 at 80+ AH)
===Notes===*Neither animal should be hungry.*Neither animal should be of same gender.*Both animals should be of the same species.*Some animals require [[Tame|taming]] before being led, this does not apply to the second animal.*Males will only breed once every 45 real minutes regardless of outcome.*Females will not breed while they are pregnant. Once the female gives birth, she will not be in mood for breeding for 24 real hours.*Animals do not have to be "fat" to breed, only "no longer interested in food" (when trying to feed them). Grass eaters will typically be in this state after a minute or 2 on grass or crops.*[[Age]] is a factor in breeding: [[calves]] or [[foal]]s will not breed, neither will young/early adolescent animals.*Pregnancy times varies from 5-11 wurm [[Time|weeks]], regardless of species. *Examining an the animal will show the remaining wurm weeks left until birth. eg. ''She will deliver in about 4''*Animals can have miscarriages which may kill the mother with no offspring spawned. Starving, off-deed, or on-deed below 15 ratio are known as the reasons for miscarriages.*If too hungry or low on fat animals can die when giving birth.*Breeding female animals with [[animal conditions|conditions]] such as [[Champion]] will provide a chance that the offspring will also have that characteristic. This chance is dramatically increased when breeding two animals with the same condition together. (Two Champions for example.)*Breeding two animals with the same trait greatly increases the chance that the offspring will have the trait.*The horse name is determined at birth, the traitsare determined at breeding.*The horse's color from birth is determined based on 1/3 by the mother, if one has 1/3 by the required skill level:father, and 1/3 by random.
=== Inbreeding Traits ===Bred animals have a chance of gaining traits, enhancements or deformities. Animals may have multiple traits, those can be seen in the table below. All traits are put into the gene pool when breeding and those of the parents will increase the chance of the offspring having the same. Should both parents have the same trait the likelihood of the offspring gaining that trait is even higher. Inbreeding adds a chance that bad traits will appear. The breeder's Animal husbandry affects the minimum and maximum number of traits that will appear in a horse. The maximum number of traits you can breed into one animal is currently 8 at 80+ skill.
====Important to note=Inbreeding ===
"I have often used it as a method of breeding, to kill the old parents when I had too many horses that had a parent in common. After the parents are dead, you can breed and get normal horses. Leave the parents alive and you get lots of bad traited animals." [http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/topic/65441-split-off-from-animal-congestion-fix/page__st__20#entry643716 Source]

You are already caring for 1 creatures.*1 animal may be cared for plus 1 additional for every 10 skill in animal husbandry.
