The selection of specimen for breeding stock is an extremely important activity for the producers of rabbits, according to the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI by its name in Spanish) in Mexico there are at least 22,000 producers, the states of Mexico, Puebla and Hidalgo are the main ones. They have a need for the rabbit breeders to have a tool that helps them to choose the best specimen to increase the production and business profitability. Therefore, a research about the suitability to develop software that can perform these activities was done, and also to administer the specimen food consumption and the evolution of them in terms of weight gain and feed conversion in the case of the males; with the females the prolificacy and the ability to breed the young rabbits. After doing the research, a business plan was carried out to determine the economic feasibility and the return on the required investment to finance the project. Finally, a functional software prototype was developed with the purpose of piloting it directly with the rabbits´ producers and to receive feedback.
