What ConductColony needs for the cleanest first import

A first import does not need every field your lab will ever track. Start with stable identifiers and current state: Animal ID, Cage, Sex, Strain, Date of Birth, Status, and optional Genotype, Sire, Dam, and Protocol columns. After import, you can add weights, notes, transfers, litters, and protocol details from inside ConductColony.
