No, kibbles / mutton are used only to increase taming speed and get bonus levels. Nothing to do with breeding.

kibbles are fine for raising babies, but kind of a waste. The only thing special about using kibble is kibbles have a high food value, compared to berries or raw meat, so the baby will eat less frequently but get more food down its throat when it finally does swallow its food.

I would not use kibble on a newborn baby. You want them to eat right away, rather than waiting until they need an amount of food equal to a big chunk of kibble. But after they can hold a fair bit, nothing wrong with using high nutritional density foods. You might be able to leave the baby alone for a few more minutes, depending on the exact situation. To maximize the time you can be away, you want the most food value per weight.

The other use for kibbles with babies is imprinting. Check the wiki on imprinting kibble. There are 15 kibbles you want to have on hand before hatching a baby if you want to reliably imprint effectively. They baby may (or may not) demand one of the 15 types randomly. If you don't give it that exact one, you're done imprinting.

That's only if you want to imprint, it has little to do with the actual raising of the baby dino and is completely optional. OP asked about if the kibble made them grow faster, and his answer was correct, it does not.

I'd make the argument that imprinting is to raising the baby dinos what circumcision is to being born, completely optional and up to personal preference.

Clearly, you just want to jump down people's throats about nothing

I was responding to dewst3rs post not the op as there was misinformation being spread

"nothing to do with breeding"
