Abstract

A method for preparing a food composition for animals comprising (a) accessing at least one database relating functional genomic profile of a biofluid or tissue sample from an animal to physiological condition and optionally genotype of the animal; (b) accessing at least one database relating to effects of bioactive dietary components on functional genomic profile; (c) by use of an algorithm drawing on these data sets, processing input data defining physiological condition and optionally genotype of a subpopulation of animals to derive a nutritional formula promoting wellness of the subpopulation; and (d) preparing a food composition based on the nutritional formula. 

Importance of the article for the Red Tecnomifood

The described method allows the design of food compositions that promote the health and well-being of defined animal subpopulations, from a collection of physiological and genetic data. It might be interesting to try to do something similar for humans.
