The metabolic profile test is widely used in veterinary medicine, and is a counterpart to similar tests in human medicine. It was invented in the late 1960s as a means of diagnosis for various forms of production disease in dairy cows, but has now been extended to all animals.

Fertility and welfare can also be monitored. Veterinarians; advanced first-degree students of veterinary science, and clinical science.
