Patent number: 11921121Abstract: A method for determining the biological age or pace of aging of an adult dog, said method comprising determining the levels of one or more biomarkers selected from the group consisting of (1) blood globulin levels, (2) blood total protein, (3) blood alkaline phosphatase, (4) blood platelet count, (5) blood mean corpuscular volume or (6) urine specific gravity, comparing the results with values obtained from healthy dogs of a known age and of a similar category (toy, small, medium, large or giant). Kits, systems and/or computer media for carrying out the method form further aspects of the invention.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2023Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: MARS, INCORPORATEDInventors: Carina Salt, David Allaway, Phillip Watson

Publication number: 20230042191Abstract: A software application platform which provides a user with the ability to receive customized information relating to an animal's health and/or optimal growth as displayed on a graphical user interface. Specifically, a user may input data (and the system may receive said input data), for example, an animal specific biomarker, and subsequently receive identification relating to a specific subgroup of individual animal(s) who are at risk for growth abnormalities, and further receive information, data, and customized recommendations and/or intervention steps for the specific at risk animal relating to the animal's health, growth abnormality, or similar feature based on an analysis and determination of the biomarker as compared to a reference database.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2022Publication date: February 9, 2023Applicant: MARS, INCORPORATEDInventors: Richard Fulton Butterwick, Matthew James Harrison, Carina Salt, Sophie Bradley, Penelope J. Morris
