    Abstract: The invention provides methods for determining overweight risk in a companion animal and to predict percent body fat in a young animal upon maturity. In one embodiment, a method for determining overweight risk in a companion animal can comprise measuring a relative abundance of bacteria from a microbiome of the companion animal; comparing the relative abundance of the bacteria to a relative abundance of the bacteria in a lean microbiome profile or in an overweight microbiome profile; and determining that the companion animal is at risk for being overweight if the relative abundance of bacteria is within the overweight microbiome profile or if the relative abundance of bacteria is outside the lean microbiome profile.

    Abstract translation: 本发明提供了确定伴侣动物超重风险的方法以及在成熟时预测年轻动物体内脂肪百分比。 在一个实施例中,用于确定伴侣动物中超重风险的方法可以包括测量来自伴侣动物的微生物群的细菌的相对丰度; 将细菌的相对丰度与贫微生物群谱或超重微生物群谱中细菌的相对丰度进行比较; 并且如果细菌的相对丰度在超重微生物组分布内,或如果细菌的相对丰度在瘦微生物体轮廓之外,则确定伴侣动物处于超重的风险中。
