Animal genetic and health profile database management
First Claim
1. A method of communicating data related to the genetic data of an animal together with the health assessment data related to that animal, the data communication being between a central database processing resource and at least one remote user, the method comprising the steps of:
- receiving an access request message from a remote user via a communications link;
transmitting an access enabling message to the remote user via the communications link wherein the remote user is authorized to access the database, the access enabling message permitting the remote user to access the database and access designated data from the database, the data in the database including biological laboratory test data relating to the health assessment of an animal together with the genetic data related to that animal whose health assessment is accessed;
compiling a report from the accessed database, the report including the health assessment data of an animal together with the genetic data related to that animal; and
transmitting the compiled report of the health assessment data of the animal and genetic data of that animal to the remote user.

Abstract
A system, method, and apparatus is provided for computerized management of the databases relating to phenotypic health assessment and genomic mapping and genetic screening of animals. Multiple remote users can access a computer network connected with a central database processing resource for managing the data There is appropriate security and payment of appropriate fees for accessing and retrieving data Users may input data relating to animal health, lifespan, and genetic background, and obtain reports relating to phenotypic health assessment of a particular animal subject or animal group, and genotypic characteristics of a particular subject or animal group to which this subject belongs. The central computer database processing resource stores phenotypic data and genotypic data relating to animals and analyzes their relationship according to predetermined criteria. The input of data and reporting of data is preferably electronic, or through fax or voice communication. The analysis of the health assessment database and genetic database can be automatic and/or in part manually interpreted by experts related to the central database processing resources.
