Hi
I know that gravitninos are produced in the Early Universe in reheating (after inflation), is this because the end of inflation/reheating period where the inflaton is oscillating about the minima of the potential is analogous to symmetry breaking?

yes but if susy does exist, gravitinos would be produced after inflation.
