Core Breeding Workflows

The Core Breeding tools of the EBS support mainly three breeding workflows.

 

Concepts

Before diving into the how of the use of the EBS tools, it is good to understand key terms that you will be encountering in the EBS first. We call them the EBS Concepts. In the succeeding pages, some EBS concepts are explained with a text description, while others are explained with diagrams and examples.

Logging In

To ensure the security and confidentiality of your breeding information, the EBS can only be accessed by users whose names and email addresses are already registered in the system. If you have not yet registered or are unsure if your information is already in the system, you may contact your organization’s system administrator. Once your account is created and secured, you can now log in!

1. Open your web browser and go to the EBS website. We encourage you to use either Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox for a stable connection.

2. From the landing page, click Login.

 

3. Make sure that you sign in using your EBS registered email account. Refer to the drop-down menu below for the log in options.

If you are using multiple possible emails in the same browser, you will be prompted to select the correct one.
