摘要

There is disclosed a computer-implemented method of assessing health risk for a mixed breed animal, the method including: providing disease data, the disease data including disease scores for a plurality of candidate diseases for each of a plurality of breeds; receiving biological data relating to the mixed breed animal, the biological data including identification of two or more parent breeds which are in the ancestry of the mixed breed animal; determining disease scores, from the disease data, for the two or more parent breeds; summa rising the disease scores across the two or more parent breeds to generate a combined health risk score for each of the candidate diseases; and generating, from the combined health risk scores, a ranked list of diseases.
