Abstract
An object of the present invention is to make it possible to easily determine a presence or absence of ketosis and/or the possibility of ketosis in an animal on site or the like. Another object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for performing the determination. A method for determining ketosis according to one embodiment of the present invention includes providing gas detection means with a gas generated from a body fluid collected from an animal (except for humans), and determining ketosis of the animal based on a composition of the gas generated from the body fluid using a response of the gas detection means to the gas generated from the body fluid.
