I am trying to find what causes FPS leaks (nothing important changes, FPS is lower), and the next one is checking whatever dead units are impacting FPS in a measurable way. To achieve this I want to create automatic breeding/smashing facility. So I need a animal that:

a)is quickly breeding
b)even single one can still breed (there is no need for female and male)
c)leaves no corpse after death
d)is not getting violent after locking multiple ones in a small area

Is it possible that somebody skilled in RAW production will prepare animal with this characteristics?

Wouldn't this be easily solved by embarking with loads of cats and just keep them locked up. They'd multiply in no time, don't need to eat and aren't exactly known for fighting amongst themselves.

a)is quickly breeding

The best you can do here is give them a huge litter size.  You can't change the gestation time, it seems to be fixed for all creatures.

b)even single one can still breed (there is no need for female and male)

Can't be done.  The requirement for female and male castes is hardcoded.

c)leaves no corpse after death

Might be possible with use of ITEMCORPSE.  You can't make them drop nothing, but you could make them drop a stone of a modded material that immediately evaporates.

d)is not getting violent after locking multiple ones in a small area

Probably impossible.  At best, you can run your experiment with a wild version of the creature, since only tame animals fight when confined.

Creatures that give live birth have fixed gestation periods, but you can supposedly affect how long it takes for eggs to hatch.  A very small EGG_SIZE should make eggs hatch very quickly indeed.

Yeah, you can try making super-turkeys.  Make the male caste have only 1 male per 99 females, have a huge egg clutch, tiny egg size, lock your single embarked male turkey into a different room for safety, set up some nest boxes and chain the female turkeys near them, and then set up your repeating drop hatches to a death chamber in the middle of the room.

You should be able to put something like NOEMOTION or something on it, which might preclude the whole getting angry thing.
