Abstract
A diagnosis of the health of an animal is obtained through a combination of computerized data and human interpretation. Data relates to the physical characteristics of the animal, and includes data obtained from a physical inspection of the animal. A blood or other fluid sample is used to obtain a computer generated laboratory analysis. This is reported through an internet network to the clinical pathologist. The clinical pathologist has the data relating to the physical characteristics, and thereby makes a diagnosis of the animal health. A drop-down menu on a computer screen provides supplemental reports to support the diagnosis. This can be enhanced by further input from the pathologist through keyboard entry into the computer to obtain an integrated computer report having the laboratory analysis, supplemental report, and selectively an enhanced report. The integrated report is electronically communicated to a client.

- A method of selecting a nutritional regimen for an animal or animal group comprising;
(a) accessing at least one data base that comprises first data relating a genomic analysis of a bodily fluid or tissue sample from an animal to a physiological condition and optionally the genotype of the animal;
(b) accessing at least one data base that comprises second data relating to effects of nutritional components on genomic analysis; and
(c) by use of an algorithm drawing on the first and second data, processing input data defining the physiological condition and optionally the genotype of the animal or animal group to derive a nutritional regimen useful for selecting and preparing a nutritional regimen for an animal or animal group. - View Dependent Claims (41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50)
