A Food Trough must be placed within range of a Domesticated Animal in order for it to find it. Each time a Domesticated Animal eats it will poop. Mating Domesticated Animals ONLY mate when outside. Additionally it is best practice to keep animals you wish to mate at 0 Temperament. Female Domesticated Animals will seek out males of its kind up to 11 tiles away. If they find a suitable male they will go to great lengths to mate with them, even climbing over Fences, as love knows no bounds. Males can mate with any number of females, where as once a female has given birth she will not mate again for at least 6 days. Mating improves the Temperament of both animals--males slightly more. Baby Domesticated Animals will have their Coat Color and Stats determined by a combination of their parent's coat colors, stats, and chance. If either the male or female are Sick the mating will fail. There is a random chance that the female will die in child birth for each child. As Domesticated Animals can have multiple births in a liter the bigger the liter the higher the chance of the female dying. Additionally there is a very small chance the female giving birth to a Stillborn. Seeing a Stillborn will increase your Insanity and slowly raise the Temperament of nearby Domesticated Animals. Right-clicking on a male Domesticated Animal with a pair of Any Scissorss equipped and selecting "Castrate" will give you Testicles and permanently prevent them from mating in the future. Death There are a number of reasons a Domesticated Animals might die: males and females both will die naturally of old age, females may die during Child Birth, Babies may be Stillborn, Domesticated Animals may die of Disease, or a Domesticated Animal may just be killed for Butchering. How long a Domesticated Animal takes to die of old age is determined by the size of its Longevity Stat - the higher the Stat the longer that Animal will live, up to a max of about 105 days. If a Domesticated Animal dies of old age it will NOT raise the Temperament of other Animals around it, however if a Domesticated Animal witnesses the death of another Domesticated Animal for any other reason it will become upset and its Temperament will be raised. For this reason it is a good idea to Lead your Domesticated Animal away from the others before killing. Domestic Animals can be killed either by combat or Slaughtering.

Animal Sickness Domesticated Animals can become Diseased from hunger or randomly by chance. This chance can lowered by raising your animal's Immunity Stat.
