Claim:
A computer readable medium bearing instructions for singulating the limbs of a plurality of animals traversing an instrumented force-sensing floor, said instructions being arranged to cause one or more processors upon execution thereof to perform the steps of: (a) obtaining a data file comprising positional data and ground reaction force data for said plurality of animals traversing an instrumented force-sensing floor; (b) dividing the positional data into a plurality of time zones, each time zone having a start time and an end time; (c) determining whether each of said time zones represents positional data and ground reaction force data for a single limb or for multiple limbs; (d) singulating multiple limb time zones into a plurality of separate single limb time zones; (e) identifying each limb in each time zone as a fore limb or a hind limb and a left limb or a right limb; (f) associating each identified fore and hind limb with a respective one of said plurality of animals.
