Sentence examples for feather production from inspiring English sources

Feather production costs, estimated from measurement of increases in basal metabolic rate throughout the molt period, show up to ten-fold variation between species.

We also investigated whether the reported energetic inefficiency of feather production during molt was due to feather replacement per se by measuring the energetic consequences of feather replacement following artificial removal of 25% of feathers by mass in a separate group of honeyeaters.

For this reason, we hypothesized that if feather production (i.e. keratin synthesis) is accelerated, it could outpace the rate of melanin incorporation or melanogenesis, the latter being often limited by the activity of the enzyme tyrosinase [30], [31], the key enzyme in eumelanogenesis, thus less melanin granules can be embedded in the keratin matrix.

Much of this size-related variation in molt cost is thought to be a consequence of mass-related differences in metabolic rate, which predicts that the smallest birds, with the highest mass-specific metabolic rates (BMRm), will have the highest molt costs and hence lowest energy conversion efficiencies in feather production [20], [23], [24].

An improved line of this breed has been selected for feather production.

Breeds vary greatly depending on location and whether they are specialized for meat, egg or feather production or whether they are multipurpose.

Generally considered to be a by-product of meat production, feathers are seen in the same sympathetic light afforded to leather.

Q: So, given that, is there any chance of getting the tagline in the books changed to read "A Feather and Conn Production"?

This means that geese produced under these systems are generally not plucked during the growing period (see Feather and Down Production).

Different concentrations of feathers supported the production of indole acetic acid by strain PF1.

The present study indicates that the feathers augmented the production of HCN which would be advantageous for eradication of plant pathogens.
