Lifecycle-stage nutrition guidance per species, plus year-end tax export for Schedule F (farm) and Schedule C (business).
🥩Nutrition Recommendations Engine

- Pick the lifecycle stage that matches your animal's current state.
- View the stage card: BCS target, energy guidance, protein %, key minerals, feed type switches, what to AVOID, alert triggers.
AniLedger ships with 14,016 words of veterinary nutrition research distilled into per-stage lifecycle cards. 12 stages covered: maintenance, pre-breeding flushing, gestation early/mid/late, parturition, lactation peak/late, weaning, recovery, growing, show conditioning. Full data for canine, equine, bovine; generic fallback for other clusters.
💡
Pair with the Feeding Log (per-animal) to track actual intake vs. recommended ranges.
🚜Tax Export — Schedule F (Farm)
- From Settings, tap "Tax Export".
- Pick year and Schedule F.
- Hero summary card shows: total income, total expenses, net profit/loss.
- Per-entry detail breakdown shows every expense and income item.
- Generate PDF — includes IRC §183 hobby-loss disclaimer at the bottom (required by IRS for amateur breeders to demonstrate profit motive).
For animals tax-classified as farm income (LGDs, herding dogs, working livestock, breeding stock for farm sales), AniLedger aggregates show entry costs, breeding income, expenses, and feed/vet costs into a Schedule F-ready PDF.
⚠️
AniLedger's tax export is a recordkeeping aid, not tax advice. Have your accountant review before filing. The §183 hobby-loss rules are specifically designed to disallow deductions when the IRS believes your activity is a hobby rather than a business.
💼Tax Export — Schedule C (Sole-Prop Business)
- From Settings, tap "Tax Export".
- Pick year and Schedule C.
- Same hero summary, expense breakdown, and per-entry detail as Schedule F.
- PDF includes IRC §183 disclaimer.
For animals classified as sole-prop business (therapy practice, training services, breeding programs operating as a business), AniLedger generates a Schedule C-ready PDF with the same income/expense aggregation.
🩺Service Animal Medical Expense Deduction
- From the working animal profile, tap "Training Sessions" → "Export Annual Hours".
- Get a year-by-year PDF of training hours by category — supports your Schedule A medical deduction.
- Combine with vet expenses, food, and certification costs from the animal's expense log.
For ADA-qualified service dogs and miniature horses, you can deduct training, food, vet care, and related expenses under IRS Pub 502 (Medical Expenses).
💡
IRS Pub 502 specifically allows deduction of expenses for an animal that performs disability-mitigating tasks. The Handler Rights Card PDF includes the relevant Pub 502 reference.
