		Conformation is critical to a working dog, particular a working dog who must display the sort of athleticism required of a stock dog.
		Herders have not argued that conformation itself is irrelevant; they have merely claimed that a "show dog" understanding of structure has no relevance to the work of their dogs.
		Like a conformation show, a sheepdog trial is not primarily a place for handlers to have fun with their dogs; it is instead a means of selecting the breeding stock for that next generation.

	Conformation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In chemistry, the conformation of a molecule is its structure.
		In molecular biology and biochemistry, a protein's conformation (tertiary structure) is its overall shape as determined by its folding.
		Conformation may refer to the response to societal pressures to conform.

	Horse Conformation: Conformation Components Hock by Cherry Hill
		At a standstill, the center of gravity is the point of intersection of a vertical line dropped from the highest point of the withers and a line from the point of the shoulder to the point of the buttock.
		The shoulder angle is measured along the spine of the scapula from the point of the shoulder to the point of the withers.
		The length and slope to the pelvis (croup) is measured from the point of hip to the point of buttock.

	Alpaca Conformation
		orrect leg conformation optimizes bone and joint health throughout the life of the animal and therefore is important to its well-being.
		To illustrate this point, compare the movement in the human shoulder or wrist to that of the alpaca.
		One indication of normal leg conformation on the heavily fibered animal would be that the toes point forward.

	Conformation point - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In dog breeding and showing, a conformation point is any one out of a long list of dog attributes known as the breed standard.
		This is a set standard, usually written, which is used to judge a given dog against the hypothetical ideal specimen of that breed.
		An incorrect conformation point is known as a fault.

	Conformation
		Conformation or “the breed ring” is where the dog is judged based upon its “looks” or structure.
		The number of points earned is based on the area of the country where the show is held and the number of dogs in competition.
		Conformation handling is wonderful socialization for dogs, as they are encouraged with treats and toys.

	Mammoth Jackstock Conformation - Blue Mountain Donkey Page
		Proper conformation means that your animal will be able to move and function with minimum stress on it's bones, joints and ligaments with maximum power output.
		Understanding that there is a very important purpose behind the conformation standards is helpful in being able to perceive an ideal and using this mental template on the real thing.
		Conformation should be the all deciding factor - meaning body structure meant for function not just pretty.

	Conformation Information
		The croup should fall away from the point of the hip bones where they tie in to the backbone at an approximate 30 degree angle.
		It is normally described by the angle formed by a vertical line drawn through the point of shoulder and a second line drawn from the point of shoulder up the ridge of the scapula to the tip of the scapula.
		This illusion is caused by the fact that the point of the elbow is included in the visual measurement of the length of the upper arm.

		It is based on a fourteen (14) point system and doubles the point value of the titles we feel were appropriately ranked as well as doubling the total number of points required for each title.
		In addition, the OS must accumulate a total of 48 points from the five (5) progeny while the OD must accumulate a total of 32 points from her three (3) progeny.
		And, as on the current point scale for OS/OD, we recommend that only one progeny may have a 6/5 (or 6/6) combination title for the OD, while only two (2) progeny with a 6/5 (or 6/6) combination title may count towards the OS award.

	How to do Your Own Conformation Analysis for Gait
		To determine whether your horse is rump high, measure from the top of his croup straight to the ground, and from the highest point of his withers to the ground using the level height measuring stick with a cross bar.
		Typically, the four most difficult points to find are the lumbo-sacral junction, the top of the shoulder, the top of the femur/hip socket, and the front part of the lumbar span.
		Conformation proportions will not be 100% predictors of the gaits horses use, but they can give you an idea of how yours may choose to travel under saddle.

		At point C (see figure 3.9) the metal ions were changed from zinc to cobalt, and the axial ligand of the metal ion in molecule 2 was changed from water to iodide.
		From point A onwards it was tried to model a threefold degenerate acetate ion on the threefold axis on the surface of the hexamer, in the shallow depression which is lined by the three B chain helices in the R-conformation half of the hexamer.
		The conformation of the N-terminus of the B chain of molecule 2, although considered to be in the R-state, is not entirely helical.

		Conformation is the way a horse is built, by analyzing a horse point by point, it avoids being side-tracked cause he looks sweet or has a pretty colour(s) Although a horses basic body conformation will vary by breed, all horses should have basic "athletic" structural attributes.
		This is the point that a horses should be measured to determine the heart girth which can be used to determine the horses weight.
		Length from the point of the hip to the point of the buttock, and from the point of hip to the stifle are both positive.

		A particularly troubling instance is one where the breed standard states that the fault is to be penalized to the degree of the severity of the fault; conformation points which are open to human interpretation cause much ill-will at dog shows.
		Conformation points and faults are very divisive in the dog-breeding community and are hotly debated.
		Often it is the breeders of working dogs who are the most vehement, pointing out that changes in fashion and fancy have led to what they see as a loss in working dog qualities of many breed that have show lines.

	Horses - The Conformation of the Horse - Equi.Net - Equestrian Information on the internet
		If the tail is set on low and the horse has a definite slope from the point of the hip to the tail, this is defined as goose rump and in many horses denotes a lack of speed.
		You are looking for a reasonable amount of length from the point of hip to the point of hock and again short cannon bones.
		Hocks should not point towards each other, cow hocked, nor must they be bowed out, sickle hocked The hock joint should be large but not fleshy and the line from the point of the hock should be straight with no bulges out from the hock joint.

	Distance Geometry - Convex Optimization
		Euclidean distance geometry is, fundamentally, a determination of point conformation (configuration, relative position or location) by inference from interpoint distance information.
		It is a common misconception to presume that some desired point conformation cannot be recovered in the absence of complete interpoint distance information.
		If we agree that a set of points can have a shape three points can form a triangle and its interior, for example, four points a tetrahedron), then we can ascribe shape of a set of points to their convex hull.

		One side of the trapezoid will connect from the withers to the point of shoulder, or the furthest point on the front of the horse's body where the shoulder bone ends.
		The other side of the trapezoid will go from the point of hip to the point of buttocks, or the furthest point on the buttocks of the horse, before it starts curving down into the hind leg.
		In a horse with good conformation, both of the bottom angles inside the tapezoid will be equal to each other and about 45 degrees.

		Three systems for evaluating carcass conformation were tested on 230 crossbred steers.
		The NZ export grading 2-point system and a 7-point conformation classification system failed to separate carcasses with higher percentages of retail meat from those with lower percentages, unlike the Meat and Livestock Commission (M.L.C.) classification which was able to select carcasses with high percentages of lean meat.
		It is suggested that the M.L.C. area and depth conformation measurements may be useful in a beef classification system.
