Sentence examples for intake and conversion from inspiring English sources

Other nutritional factors include protein, which, as an essential component of the matrix of bone, must be provided by a combination of dietary intake and conversion from other tissues.

It has been demonstrated that rearing fish at inappropriate stocking densities may impair the growth and reduce immune competence due to factors such as clustering stress and the deterioration of water quality, which can affect both the feed intake and conversion efficiency of the fish ([Ellis et al. 2002]).

GH has major metabolic effects on lipid mobilization and protein accretion, increases gluconeogenesis, and enhances feed intake and conversion during growth [11], [12], in part mediated by insulin-like growth factors (IGF).

Feed intake and conversion ratios, which are associated with digestibility, are arguably the most costly impacts of heat stress.
