The championships are a

On farms where these data were generated, the animals were selected based on an index formed by
conformation, finishing precocity, and musculature characteristics at weaning and yearling, scrotal circumference at yearling, and days to gain 160kg from birth to weaning and 200kg in the post weaning-yearling periods.
Moreover, the average body
conformation in respect of girth, height and length of group A kids (48.
In
conformation shows, a dog earns points by besting other dogs in terms of overall appearance, build and movement according to their respective breed's standards.

As a result, they discovered that acute mastitis was more likely in ewes with poor udder
conformation, teat lesions and inadequate nutrition in pregnancy, as well as those feeding twins or triplets.
The heritability of
conformation was estimated at [h.
Those models use the differential equations based on the
conformation tensor.
Most of the body
conformation traits are heritable to varying levels and have been reported in almost all of the important dairy cattle breeds.
Robert and Kay Vincent's 83-ewe Whitehead flock based near Trelech, Carmarthenshire, West Wales, has claimed the Hampshire Down Sheep Breeders Association's top flock award for breed type and overall

The book covers structural features of carbohydrates, including cyclization and
