breedings
Livestock reproduction efforts
Breedings is the plural of breeding, referring to separate instances or types of animal reproduction or lineage development.
A livestock farmer might track multiple breedings over a season: We had three breedings this spring, but only two took.
The word appears in technical contexts where distinct mating events or breeding programs need to be counted or compared.
