METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING A FARM ANIMAL HAVING AN IMPAIRMENT OF REGULATIVE CAPACITY IN RESPONSE TO METABOLIC STRESS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for identifying a farm animal having an impairment of regulative capacity in response to metabolic stress comprising: a) assessing the value of the nonlinear domain heart rate variability component L MAX of a farm animal based on a heart beat interval data set obtained for said farm animal; b) comparing the value of L MAX assessed according to (a) with a species specific threshold of L MAX ;, whereby a farm animal having an impairment of regulative capacity will be identified.
