Animal genetic and health profile database management

A method of viewing phenotypic and genotypic data related to a non-human animal comprising the steps of:

• viewing, using a computer, both phenotypic data and genotypic data for a non-human animal;
• receiving in a database of a central database processing resource related to the computer, data relating to the phenotype data of the animal and receiving in the database of the central data processing resource, genotypic data relating to the breed of the animal and genetic background of the animal;
• analyzing, using a computer, the phenotypic data and the genotypic data based on predetermined characteristics;
• and
• reporting the analysis of the phenotypic data and genotypic data.

Apparatus for communicating phenotypic and genotypic data related to a non-human animal, comprising

• a computer communication network for data communication being between a central database processing resource and at least one remote user,
• means for receiving an access request message from a remote user via the communications link;
• means for 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 phenotypic and genotypic data related to the animal;
• means for analyzing the phenotypic and genotypic data related to the animal;
• means for compiling a report based on the analysis phenotypic and genotypic data of the animal;
• and
• means for transmitting the compiled report of the phenotypic and genotypic data of the animal to the remote user.

Apparatus comprising:

• a screen for monitoring, using a computer both phenotypic data and genotypic data for a non-human animal;
• a computer for analyzing the phenotypic and the genotypic data based on predetermined characteristics;
• a means for receiving in a database of a central database processing resource, phenotypic data relating to a health assessment of the animal and receiving in the database of the central database processing resource, genotypic data relating to the breed of the animal and the genetic background of the animal;
• and
• a communications network for reporting the analysis of the phenotypic data and genotypic data.

A computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions for a computer to access the medium comprising:

• instructions to access data on the medium;
• a first database on the medium related to genotypic data of a non-human animal,
• a second database on the medium related to phenotypic data of the animal;
• and
• the computer-readable medium including instructions to analyze the first and second database, wherein the instructions are selected from the group consisting of predicting health, predicting disease probabilities, predicting disorder probabilities and longevity of the animal.

A system for reporting the analysis of phenotypic data and genotypic data of a non-human animal comprising:

• a computer based communications network,
• a computer at a central database processing resource provider to receive through the network, phenotypic data for the animal, the phenotypic data including physical characteristics and health assessment data, and genotypic data about the animal the genotypic data including genetic background, genomic mapping and genetic screening data,
• a screen for monitoring, using a computer, both the phenotypic data of the animal, and the genotypic data about the animal,
• a computer for analyzing the phenotypic data and the genotypic data based on predetermined characteristics, and
• a computer for receiving, through the network, the analysis.
