METHOD FOR OBTAINING A HEALTH INFLUENCE INDICATOR FOR FODDER PRODUCT COMPOSITION

摘要

1. A method of obtaining a health effect indicator for a composition consumed by an animal, comprising:! (a) an assessment of the effect of the composition with respect to the effect of one or more comparative compositions on each of a plurality of parameters characterizing the health or well-being of the animal; ! (b) an expression of the relative effect of the composition on each parameter as a score; and! (c) processing a health effect indicator using an algorithm that takes into account a composition score for a plurality of parameters. ! 2. The method according to claim 1, in which the score for each parameter has a positive correlation with the desired effect of the parameter on health, and the algorithm includes the summation of the score and expresses the resulting overall score of the composition in parts or percent of the maximum score. ! 3. The method according to claim 2, in which the score for each parameter is an unweighted estimate of the position of the composition in the series "composition and comparative compositions" by the effect on the parameter. ! 4. The method according to claim 1, in which the score is a number from a series of consecutive integers. ! 5. The method according to claim 1, in which the animal is a canine or feline. ! 6. The method according to claim 1, in which many parameters include at least one biomarker obtained from an animal. ! 7. The method according to claim 1, in which each of the evaluated parameters refers to one or more health conditions selected from the group consisting of antioxidant status, immune status, joint condition, skin condition, coat condition, cardiovascular system condition, kidney conditions,
