"Livre des Origines du Rat Domestique" (abbreviated as LORD) is the French translation for "Book of Pet Rat Origins". It is an open breed registry dedicated to pet rats. Its purpose is to keep track of pedigrees, to record ratteries, to monitor pet rat population especially by means of statistics, and to help breeders and owners to keep track of their rats and their families.
To give a few examples, collected information about animal origins allows: to avoid unwanted inbreeding, to prevent hereditary disease, to generate complete and fully accessible family trees, to compute coefficients of inbreeding from them, to derive all kind of statistics (lifespan, death causes, varieties...) so as to monitor the livestock.
LORD first deployment concerns pet rats in France and neighbouring countries, but source code is open to allow for any one interested to adapt and deploy a studbook for other areas or other species.
CakeLORD project is named after the CakePHP framework, with which LORD was developed.
