Definition of conformation in English: conformationnoun kɒnfɔːˈmeɪʃ(ə)n 1The shape or structure of something, especially an animal. (尤指动物的)外形;形态;构造,结构 the judges run their hands over the dog's body and legs, checking its conformation mass noun we've been looking for stock with good overall conformation Example sentencesExamples - It also improves the carcase conformation and composition, while he also finds the lambs are much cleaner due to the lower worm burden.
- The judges then walked down the row checking the conformation of the horses and getting a closer look at each one.
- This is because we want to start with the x-ray structure conformation.
- Following this event it takes some time for the channel conformation to relax back to the original structure or conformation.
- The animal's conformation can be a factor in how well your pack load or horse saddlebags ride.
- The best approach for correcting a gait fault is to examine the animal's conformation and foot-flight pattern.
