Methods of selecting a feed composition for an animal subpopulation, to diagnose a state of well-being, disease or physiological disorder, or a predisposition to disease or physiological disorder in an animal subject, and to predict the 'physiological' condition or class of an animal and its propensity to develop disease or to respond to a given nutritional treatment;

METHODS OF SELECTING AN ANIMAL BREEDING FOR AN ANIMAL SUBPOPULATION, DIAGNOSIS OF A WELFARE STATE, DISEASE OR DISORDER, OR A PREDISPOSITION TO DISEASE OR FISIOLIC DISEASE IN A FISCAL AND ANALYZAL FISIONAL DISEASE ANIMAL AND ITS PROPENSE TO DEVELOP DISEASE OR TO RESPOND TO A NUTRITIONAL TREATMENT AND FEED COMPOSITION. A method for preparing an animal feed composition comprising: (a) accessing at least one database comprising a first data set relating a functional genomic profile of a tissue or biofluid sample from an animal with physiological condition and optionally genotype of the animal. animal; (b) access at least one database comprising a second data set related to the effects of bioactive dietary components on functional genomic profile; (c) by using an algorithm derived from these data sets, processing input data defining the physiological condition and optionally genotype of an animal subpopulation to derive a welfare-promoting nutritional formula from one or more animals of the subpopulation; and (d) preparing a feed composition based on a nutritional formula.
