ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an animal health care system, comprising: a weight input unit; an impedance measurement unit; an inter-leg distance input unit; and a health assessment data calculation unit. According to the present invention said weight input unit enters weight value of an animal, and said impedance measurement unit includes impedance measurement electrodes each for contacting with a root of each leg of the animal and measures impedance between front and rear legs of the animal. Furthermore, said inter-leg distance input unit enters the distance between the roots of front and rear legs of the animal, and said health assessment data calculation unit calculates health assessment data, based on the weight value of the animal, the impedance between front and rear legs of the animal, and the distance between the roots of front and rear legs of the animal.
