The earliest registries of animal morbidity were established at the end of the nineteenth century and concerned contagious diseases. In the 1970s, the development of modern managerial methods on stock farms implied more systematized collection of statistics on clinical disorders. Since breeders are the principal observers of diseases, and because such sources of information as hospitals do not exist for animals, morbidity analysis must be based on surveys especially constructed and relying upon the participation of volunteers. We have cited here the example of ecopathological surveys based on volunteer stock farms and conducted in France at the level of cattle herds. The future of animal pathology registries should be based upon procedures using randomly selected samples, as in the system recently established in France by the Agronomic Research and Statistical Services of the Ministry of Agriculture.
最早的动物发病情况登记始于19世纪末，涉及传染病。20世纪70年代，养殖场现代管理方法的发展意味着临床疾病统计数据的收集更加系统化。由于养殖者是疾病的主要观察者，且动物不存在像医院这样的信息来源，发病率分析必须基于专门构建并依靠志愿者参与的调查。我们在此引用了基于法国牛群中志愿者养殖场进行的生态病理学调查的例子。动物病理学登记的未来应基于使用随机抽样的程序，就像法国农业部农业研究与统计服务局最近建立的系统那样。
