All registries have their own codes for registrations. We will talk to you here about IGSCR-IDGR registration number codes.
Wondering about the Registration Number codes?

So how do these breed codes enter into registration numbers?
If the animal is a purebred, the breed code will go in front of the goat’s individual registration number. Example MN-12345 or ND-12346
To become a purebred of a Miniature goat (standard breed crossed with a Nigerian Dwarf) must be at least Generation (F) 6 and meet breed standards. If they don’t meet standards then they will have the breed code at the end of their registration number, followed by an H. Example E-12345MNH Then they will have to be bred back up again to meet standards.
Breed Percentages
As with any registry I know, if a goat is a crossbred, a simple average is used to decide how much of what breed an animal is.
