PROCESS FOR PROVIDING ONE

PET NUTRITIONAL PRODUCT FOR A PET AND PET FOOD PRODUCT PROVIDED BY THIS METHOD

DESCRIPTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a method of providing a pet food product for a pet and a pet food product for a pet provided by this method. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for providing a pet food product for a pet using pet-specific information

Pet food product based on this information.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Methods for providing a pet food product for a pet are known in which the pet food is based on the preferences of a pet food product

Animal owner is mixed. Veterinary aspects play no or only a minor role in such procedures. In addition, standard products are known, which are offered in consideration of certain criteria of the pet in groups. For example, pet food for young dogs, for old dogs, for pregnant dogs, for certain breeds, etc. is offered.

It is the object of the present invention to provide a method for providing a pet food product for a pet, on the one hand individually adapted to the needs of the pet and on the other hand simplifies the application by a pet owner. In addition, it is the object of the present invention to provide a corresponding pet food product for a pet, which offers the said advantages.

According to the invention the object is achieved by a method for providing a pet food product for a pet having the features of claim 1 or a pet food product for a pet having the features of claim 17.

According to the basic concept of the present invention, a method for providing a pet food product for a pet includes the following steps:

Providing pet-specific information;

Preparing the pet-specific information;

Creating a set of pet specific feed compositions on the

The basis of processed pet-specific information;

- preparing a pet food product based on the sentence

pet-specific feed compositions;

The pet food product according to the invention consists of a

Compilation of several rations, each with a temporal assignment.

With the method according to the invention are pet-specific

Information provided and prepared accordingly. The pet-specific

Information relates to the property of the pet, the individual condition of the pet and / or the individual living conditions of the pet. Based on the processed pet-specific information, a sentence becomes more pet-specific

Feed compositions created. This sentence is more pet-specific

Feed compositions are used to make a pet food product.

Thus, with the erfmdungemäßen process an individualized

Pet food product manufactured, which provided the pet-specific

Information taken into account. According to the basic concept of the present invention, the

Pet food product from a collection of several rations, each with a temporal assignment. Thus, based on the set of pet-specific feed compositions, it is not just an individualized product provided non-specifically to the pet, but the inventive method takes into account the temporal component of the feeding of the pet by rations are provided, which are associated with a temporal assignment, which can take into account the pet owner in the feeding. In this context, the amount of food to be fed to the pet during a period of time is taken into account in preparing the rations so that each ration contains a predetermined amount of food. By such a procedure, the possibility arises, the pet owner a

To assist in the feeding of his pet by providing rations with the temporal allocation, and optionally, the feed composition of individual rations provided with the temporal allocation can be specified according to the pet-specific information. Thus, in the manufacture of the

Pet food product not only taken into account on the pet-specific information, but also contains the provision / production of pet food product a temporal component that is particularly physiologically useful for the pet.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the provision of pet-specific information by a pet owner is made. As a rule, the pet owner has knowledge of pet-specific information, so that providing the pet-specific information by the pet owner is particularly efficient. In addition, the pet owner has by his

Interacting with Your Pet Affects the pet-specific information so that providing pet-specific information by the pet owner can be a particularly accurate illustration of the individual pet's needs.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the rations are individually packaged and each provided with information on the temporal assignment. Thereby, the temporal assignment information may be printed or otherwise applied or applied to the packages of the individual rations, so that the use of the provided pet food product is particularly acceptable to the pet owner. It is not necessary to change the time allocations to the

Packaging as long as the time allocation is taken into account when preparing the rations. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the amount of feed and / or the feed composition of the individual rations in

Pet food product individually adjusted taking into account the respective temporal allocation. This option allows the pet to consume or offer the optimal ingredients in an acceptable way. In particular, each ration contains a predetermined amount of feed and / or a predetermined feed composition so that the pet food product can optimally meet the pet's need for a predetermined application.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the temporal allocation of the respective rations comprises a specific day, in particular a specific day of the week. Pet feeding can preferably be done daily. The provision of the respective rations for a specific day is thus adaptable to the usual feeding rhythm of pets. In the provision of

For daily rations, the pet owner retains an overview of the amount of food he feeds, and at the same time does not receive an excessive number of different rations

Overwhelmed. The pet food product according to the invention contains a number of

Rations that are prepared according to this embodiment, each for a specific day. Optionally, the pet food product may be provided for one week, in which case the pet food product contains seven rations for a specific day of the week. According to the invention, however, it is possible to deviate from individual rations for a specific day; in particular, several rations can be prepared for one day, in which case the optional information on the time allocation is adapted accordingly and, in addition to the day, also contain links to the time of day. It is also possible to adapt the pet food product not for a week, but for a month or for a particularly advantageous period.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pet food product, which consists of a set of rations, picked and handed over to the pet owner, in particular shipped. The pet food product consisting of a set of rations is easy to handle and can be easily picked by combining the rations and handed over to the pet owner. The Handover can take place in a shop, in pharmacies, in medical practices or similar. Particularly advantageous is the shipping of the pet food product, which consists of a set of rations, to the pet owner. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pet-specific information provided by the pet owner is entered via an electronic interface, in particular through an internet portal. An electronic interface provides optimal conditions for entering qualitative and quantitative information related to the pet. In this case, the electronic interface can be any device that is able to transmit data with regard to the pet-specific information in such a way that the data can be evaluated in particular centrally for the provision of the pet food product for the pet. Particularly advantageous in this context is the use of an Internet portal, since the Internet for transmitting information is particularly simple and advantageous for the pet owner. It is also possible to store the information entered in an individualized database and to evaluate it. This evaluation can also be made available to the pet owner so that he gets an overview of the physiological nutritional status of his pet. In addition, the Internet portal can be provided with an ordering function for the pet food product in the usual way. It is also possible to provide a payment option in the Internet portal.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the set of pet-specific information includes one or more of the following:

- Type of pet;

- breed of pet;

- Age of the pet;

- Name of the pet;

- sex of the pet;

Diseases of the pet;

- Lactation week of the pet;

- number of puppies of the pet;

- weight of the pet;

- nutritional status of the pet;

Genetic pet information.

In the following, some of the above terms will be explained to facilitate the understanding of the inventive concept without, however, presenting a limitation. - Type of pet:

By this is meant a biological species mapping. By way of example, the species "dog", "cat" or "horse" could be named here

Text form or an image that can be clearly assigned to the species (icon). Breed of the pet:

The breed describes a more detailed subdivision of the individual species into different breeding forms. These include, according to criteria of official breeding associations, for example the FCI, dogs and ministries recognized breeds, but also hitherto unrecognized breeding forms.

[0021] Photo of the pet:

A pictorial representation that is assigned to the animal. This can be a picture of the species / breed or an individual photograph. - Age of the pet:

The age of the animal is recorded by specifying the year of birth and / or month / day and is expressed as the previous lifespan in weeks, months or years. In addition, a division into age groups (eg puppy, Foals, adult, senior). Age groups can be specified in textual form or an image (icon) associated with the group.

Name of the pet:

The name refers to both the short name used in daily dealings as well as pet name, as well as officially in breed lists and documents (pet passport,

Equine passport, etc.) registered name of the animal.

[0024] Physiological stress profile of the pet:

Either a division into predefined groups of activities is made or exact information about the physical activity of the animal, for example, kilometers traveled per day or time per gait (step, trot, gallop ...) and / or the type of activity (sled race, agility , Hunting, dressage training, jumping training, distance ride ...). The level of activity can also be assigned through a defined picture.

Sex of the pet:

In addition to the biological gender (male, female), this also includes any intervention that reduces the formation of sex hormones or reproductive ability, such as castration or sterilization. In addition to the terms "male" and "female", gender-specific terms (such as male, female, tomcat, stallion, mare, gelding) or universal symbols (Mars symbol, Venus symbol) are used for the gender classification.

Diseases of the pet:

The diseases include a variety of possible physical health problems of the particular animal. These may be diseases diagnosed by the attending physician but also symptoms perceived by the pet owner that are being transmitted. The assignment may be by exact designation of the disease / symptom, by

Group assignment or by symbols.

- allergies of the pet:

Allergies are immunological reactions of the body to various substances that act as allergens. Known and / or suspected allergens are from the pet owner indicated, or presented test results and the allergy as a name or symbol indicated.

- incompatibilities of the pet:

Incompatibilities describe feeds whose intake in a certain amount leads to local reactions of the gastrointestinal tract. Information is provided on substances known or suspected to cause incompatibilities. These are represented in text form or by symbols. - predispositions of the pet:

Predispositions indicate disease susceptibility and statistically increased disease risks caused by the genetic make-up of the particular animal, as well as

Metabolic features (e.g., enzyme deficiency). The assignment can be made by textual description or application of a symbol (icon).

- size of the pet:

The size describes both an exact metric dimension of special outer

Body parts (as an example: withers of the horse, shoulder height of the dog) as well as a classification in common for the species size groups (for example, pony to 148 cm, dwarf breeds in the dog to 30 cm).

[0031] Breeding profile of the pet:

In males and females, an indication is given whether the animals are generally used for breeding. Furthermore, the current reproductive status is recorded. This includes, for example, the use of the cap, the insemination status, a pregnancy (with information on the time course) or lactation. The status is named or indicated by an icon.

- Lactation week of the pet:

The time of lactation, ie the suckling of the offspring with milk of the mother animal is subdivided into different stages, which are designated either by temporal data, like weeks and months after the birth or in periods (for example high-lactation, late lactation). Number of puppies of the pet:

The number of offspring in animals with usually multiple litters. This may be the actual number of puppies, as well as an expected or statistically determined value.

Weight of the pet:

The weight may be a value made by current weighing or statistically determined for the particular animal. Also estimates and other measurements (for example using the formula of Carroll & Huntington after determining the tape measure in the horse) were given in general weight units.

Nutritional status of the pet:

The nutritional status is determined either by subjective assessment, by numerical deviation of the current weight from the optimum weight or by customary scoring systems (for example the body condition score) including the description of the patient

Appearance (e.g., type and amount of fat deposition or visibility / tactility of bony prominences). The classification can be made on the basis of a numerical value, a designation or an exemplary image or symbol.

According to another preferred embodiment of the present invention

The invention will provide for the preparation of the set of pet specific information

Consideration of veterinary requirements. In particular, the information is evaluated as to whether certain components of the feed composition need to be adjusted to meet the needs of a needs-based approach

To meet the pet's diet. The processing of the sentence pet-specific

Information also includes balancing countervailing quantitative or qualitative information. Thus, preparing the set of pet-specific information involves, on the one hand, the evaluation of the information from empirical data and, on the other hand, the calculation of the feed composition on the basis of

for example, formulaic relationships. During the data entry by the pet owner, the entered data can be validated to consistency, so that implausible inputs are recognized immediately and can be corrected before the need for valuation. These include, for example, inconsistent inputs to the nutritional status in conjunction with information about current weight and target weight. Furthermore, the questions of the process are generated dynamically and adapt to the information provided. This first ensures that the pet owner is not confronted with questions that are irrelevant to him, and secondly, that the optimal data is transferred to the determination of requirements. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the preparation of the set of pet-specific feed compositions comprises the selection of semi-finished products and / or raw materials. The feed compositions of the rations may be influenced by the selection of semi-finished products and / or raw materials. In particular, consideration of allergies and intolerances of the pet can be taken by avoiding certain raw materials. Furthermore, special diets can be created by selecting or avoiding semi-finished products that meet given requirements.

In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the creation of the set of pet-specific feed compositions is automated. In particular, a computer-aided evaluation of the information can be carried out. For this purpose, it is particularly advantageous that, on the one hand, quantifiable information is provided by the pet owner and, on the other hand, qualitative information is given by means of a quantified evaluation scale. This data can be processed computer-aided, so that as a result a sentence

pet-specific feed compositions can be created, which in turn can be used for the production of pet food product.

In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an optimization is made by creating a manual intervention when creating the set of pet-specific feed compositions. This will ensure that on the

On the one hand, obviously unfavorable feed compositions can be avoided on the basis of empirical data or specific experience of specialized staff, and on the other hand, on the basis of the expertise, the feed compositions can be individually optimized.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, supplements are taken into account when creating the set of pet-specific feed compositions as a supplement to the provided pet food product. In some circumstances, in addition to the pet food product provided in accordance with the present invention, the pet owner will offer complementary supplements to the pet. However, this supplement has an impact on the overall nutritional intake in terms of

Composition of the substance and the total amount of food. Thus, by taking these supplements into account, the total nutrient intake or overall food supply for the pet is optimized. The feeds may optionally be provided by the pet owner along with the pet-specific information. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, based on the pet-specific information, recommendations for species-appropriate supplementary food, species-appropriate products and / or appropriate services are determined and in particular these recommendations with the pet food product are provided to the pet owner. These recommendations may be provided as information to the pet owner with the pet food product. Optionally, the recommendations can be printed on the packaging of the individual rations. Alternatively, the recommendations can be communicated to the pet owner via the Internet portal. The recommendations do not need to be accepted by the pet owner. However, if the recommendations are accepted so that the pet owner, for example, feeds a suitable supplement according to the recommendations, this can be taken into account advantageously in the provision of the pet-specific information and thus the

Pet food product to be adjusted.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the individual packages of the rations, which are assembled as a pet food product, provided with at least one of the following:

- Name of the individual pet; at least part of the pet-specific information;

Information on the feed composition and / or feed quantity of the individually packaged ration;

Information on the temporal allocation of the individually packaged ration.

This list of indications is not exhaustive and other information may be provided which may be of some importance to the pet owner. Optionally, the information may be at least partially selected by the pet owner so that he only receives information that he desires.

These details allow an individualization of the

Pet food product. At the same time, the information for the pet owner facilitates the use of the pet food product and also ensures the correct use of the pet food product.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pet food product contains individually packed daily rations for one week. Thus, a pet food product is provided to the pet owner at appropriate intervals so that, on the one hand, too frequent a handover / request of the pet owner

Pet food product is avoided and on the other hand, sufficient flexibility

Adaptation of the pet food product to the changing needs of the pet.

According to the present invention, there is provided a pet food product for a pet from an assortment of a plurality of rations each provided with a temporal assignment, the pet food product being provided and manufactured by a method as described above.

DESCRIPTION OF THE EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLES

In Figure 1, the flow of the method according to the invention according to a first embodiment of the invention is shown schematically. In this and all other figures, the steps are numbered and in the description reference is made to this numbering.

At the beginning of the process (step 1), the pet owner enters the relevant data about his pet in an interface. Here, the owner is guided by an optionally scientifically validated question process to pet-specific

To provide information. These include, inter alia, the type of pet; Breed of pet; Age of the pet; Name of the pet; Degree of activity of the pet; Gender of the pet; Diseases of the pet; Allergies of the pet; Incompatibilities of the pet; Predispositions of the pet; Size of the pet; Breeding profile of the pet; Lactation week of the pet; Number of puppies of the pet; Weight of the pet; Nutritional status of the pet. This list is not exhaustive but can be supplemented by further information. In addition, it is sufficient to query and use a selected portion of this information as long as the object of the invention is achieved. The anamnesis process can be conducted through an Internet portal based on popular web technologies such as javascript or html5, for example, also in conjunction with a shop system such as Magento. The user can perform the process by accessing a stationary EDP system or via a mobile device. Of Further, the pet owner can be provided with assistance in the context of anamnesis, which help him to answer the questions. This assistance can be carried out in the form of information boxes or in the form of a parallel expert chat, to which the user can turn if questions are unclear and / or technical support is required to answer the questions. Of the

Expert chat can either be activated by clicking on radio buttons or by the expert, for example in case of inactivity of the user, which is identified by analytical programs, such as Google Analytics. During or after the data entry by the pet owner, the entered data is validated for consistency so that implausible inputs can be recognized immediately and corrected before the demand value determination. These include, for example, inconsistent inputs to the nutritional status in conjunction with information about current weight and target weight. Furthermore, the questions of the process can be generated dynamically and thus adapt to the information provided.

In the first place, this ensures that the pet owner is not confronted with questions that are irrelevant to him, and secondly, that the optimal data is available to him

Requirement value determination. For example, the possibilities are for

Weight indication for a puppy strongly adapted to an adult animal. Furthermore, breeding animals are treated differently than animals that are not used for breeding, and treated dynamically in the process.

Upon completion of the user input (step 1) and data analysis (step 2) takes place the demand value determination (step 3). To do this, the collected and validated input data are compared to statistical data from a database and a value is collected based on researched correlations through the use of scientific formulas for different elements of energy and nutrient needs. Demand values for the following elements are collected: ME dog; Crude protein (vRp);

Dry matter (DM); Crude fat (Rfe); NfE; Raw fiber (Rfa); Calcium (Ca); Phosphorus (P); Magnesium (Mg); Potassium (K); Sodium (Na); Iron (Fe); Copper (Cu); Zinc (Zn); Vitamin A; Vitamin D3; Vitamin E, although this list is only an extract of the needs assessment and should not be considered exhaustive. Also, a part of these demand values is sufficient as long as the object of the invention is achieved. Next to the target value Furthermore, tolerances for each value are determined by the same method. The values are then normalized and released for calculation.

The following calculation algorithm for optimization (step 4) is based on evolutionary functions that feeds the optimal composition of the available products (step 5) for the determined demand values (step 3). Programming languages such as C; Java or Fortran are used. The highest value is placed on veterinary correctness. The pet owner has no opportunity to directly influence the calculation and its outcome. At the end of the calculation and optimization process, the pet owner is given a set of rations for several days (step 6), each containing information about the composition and the correlating optimal

Feed amount included. The data is presented to the pet owner in an appropriate form, easily and visually prepared. In particular, an internet portal is suitable for this, whereby also the sending of the information by letter or by e-mail is possible. Furthermore, the pet owner will be provided with expert chat for explaining the information. He can also contact the expert's consultation by telephone as well as retrieve all information at a later date in his user backend. On the basis of the calculated, optimized composition

Production instructions are given to the production (step 8), which are similar to a recipe that shows the respective quantity of each raw material (raw material or semi-finished goods) to be introduced for each ration. These mixing instructions can either be printed on paper for manual mixing or even sent to the employee virtually by virtual machine (overhead screen or portable handheld computer). In addition, it is possible that a control signal is passed to a fully automatic mixing device, which then makes the mixture individually for each calculated ration and fills in ready-to-ship packaging. In any case, in commissioning each individual ration is mixed together individually according to the production instruction (step 8) (or a larger amount is produced and the respective amount is taken from the homogeneous amount). For example, a ration of nine individual components in different Amount, whereby the amount of each individual raw material can vary from ration to ration. Each ration is given a unique batch number to ensure traceability to the raw materials. Furthermore, each ration is provided with further product information from the packaging printing (step 7) which, in addition to the legally required level, gives the pet owner detailed information about the particular ration, its purpose and its composition. In addition, the pet owner with the product

Additional information regarding composition, care instructions and further individualized customer-specific information provided.

The ration pack representing the pet food product may be shipped to the customer (step 10) upon completion of the order picking (step 9), or sent to the appropriate veterinarian or pharmacy. Furthermore, the customer has the opportunity to pick up the package at the company directly or at a contract partner. Second embodiment:

The second embodiment shown schematically in Figure 2 takes up the process of the first embodiment. In addition to the first embodiment, the user gets the opportunity to manually make changes to the proposed solution following the optimization (step A). In this case, for example, a veterinarian in addition to his professional expertise and knowledge of his patients in the
