How to Use the Plug Events Page
Track copulation plugs and pregnancy timelines. Moustra computes the embryonic day (E-Day) and the expected delivery window for every plug, so you always know which litters are coming and when.
Record a plug
Click Record Plug, pick the Mating (the female and male auto-fill), set the Plug Date, and optionally a Target E-Day, then Save.
Review the Plug Events list
Each row shows the Female and Male, Mating, Plug Date, a live Current E-Day, the Target E-Day, and the computed Expected Delivery window. Sort or filter by any column.
Open a plug to see its timeline
Click a row's Open record to see the E-Day badge, the expected delivery window, the parents, and the available actions.
Record the outcome
Click Record Outcome and choose the result — Live Birth, Harvest, Resorption, No Pregnancy, or Cancelled — with an outcome date, then Save to close out the plug.
Export your plug events
Use Export in the toolbar to download the current (filtered) plug events as a spreadsheet.
