Treats would make sense or when you milk the animal. We all know some people are better with their hands over others?;)

I suppose that could work. Its branding a text to the animal now, not character stats. The issue with using that for F&F Bonus is players with high F&F would brand the animals and sell them, which would not be preferred. When that system was meant to be a way to track your animal and see who it belonged to.

can you do a check when someone enters the barn if babies are to be birthed do a check on f&f?

Or to keep the bonus limited to the person caring for them, do indeed make it revolve around both treats and maintenance like milking, shearing, and so on. Have a decaying "affinity" stat, where the animal has an affinity to their caretaker, scaling from 100% of their F&F x coefficient you choose down to 0% in a certain period of time, as the animal goes back to a self sufficient state or whatever.

also store musical instruments should lower animal temps and lower the amount of time they are in the womb.

I'm not sure these beasts can appreciate the fine arts of music.

can animals become inbred?

I doubt veracity of this statement. Cooldown times I have observed are ranging from 1 to 3 days. That is, assuming pregnancy takes 7 days.
Certainly, I have seen multiple animals giving birth every 8 -9 days.

There is, of course a possibility that the birth is immediate and what I take for pregnancy is the cooldown time instead .
Regretfully, that would take away many interesting possibilities in animal trading.

I hear "pregnancy" it's short term.

can update first post about ?

Mating is on its own interval not related to feeding. As a general rule of thumb once a female has given birth she will not mate again for at least 6 days. And two healthy, attractive, spunky and young animals should be getting busy with in less than 2 weeks.
