... feed efficiency has been considered as one of the important parameters in assessing the potential of bird strain or feeding program, etc. In [North] America the value is calculated by dividing feed intake by weight gain, and so values of around 1.9 are common for 42 [day] old birds. In some European countries, the efficiency is calculated as weight gain divided by feed intake, and a corresponding value would be 0.53. Whatever system is used, measures of feed efficiency are useful in describing feed intake in relation to growth rate. Feed efficiency is, therefore, a useful measure of performance as long as all other factors affecting both growth and feed intake are either minor or do not vary from flock to flock. 2, record 1, English, - feed%20efficiency

[...] l'indice de consommation est un des plus importants paramètres pour évaluer le potentiel d’une lignée d’oiseaux, d’un programme d’alimentation, etc. En Amérique du Nord, cet indice est calculé en divisant la quantité d’aliments ingérés par le gain pondéral. Il se situe couramment autour de 1, 9 pour les oiseaux de 42 jours. Dans certains pays européens, cet indice est calculé en divisant le gain pondéral par la quantité d’aliments ingérés, ce qui donne une valeur correspondante de 0, 53. Peu importe le système utilisé, l'indice de consommation permet de déterminer la consommation d’aliments par rapport au taux de croissance. Il s’agit donc d’une mesure utile pour déterminer le rendement, tant que les autres facteurs influant sur la croissance et la consommation sont mineurs ou invariables d’une bande d’oiseaux à une autre. 1, record 1, French, - indice%20de%20consommation

An automobile ... is often recycled when it reaches the end of its useful life. Flattened car hulks are fed to an automobile shredder, which is a hammer mill that tears the car apart to produce a uniformly sized supply of secondary metal about the size of baseballs. Approximately 3/4 of each car hulk is metal which is separated into ferrous and nonferrous components for recycling. The remaining 1/4 is residue consisting of plastics, glass, fabric, rubber, and paint among other items, commonly called "Automotive Shredder Residue (ASR)" or "fluff." 6, record 5, English, - fluff

Environ 12 millions d’automobiles et de camions légers sont recyclés annuellement en Amérique du Nord et la plus grande partie des métaux ferreux et non ferreux qu'ils contiennent sont récupérés. Alors que le taux de recyclage des métaux atteint presque 95 %, les matériaux non métalliques, soit les plastiques, le caoutchouc, le verre et les tissus, se retrouvent sous la forme d’un sous-produit, communément appelé résidus de déchiquetage des automobiles(RDA) ou «fluff». Les RDA sont un mélange hétérogène constitué d’environ 50 % de matériaux combustibles et de 50 % d’éléments non combustibles. Puisqu'il n’ est présentement pas rentable de séparer les RDA en leurs composantes, ils sont tous enfouis dans des dépotoirs. 3, record 5, French, - r%C3%A9sidus%20de%20d%C3%A9chiquetage%20de%20carcasses%20de%20v%C3%A9hicules%20automobiles

résidus de carcasses d’automobiles : Cette expression, relevée dans le rapport annuel 1990-1991 du plan d’action du Centre Saint-Laurent d’Environnement Canada, est à notre avis mal formée. «Résidus» se dit des «matières qui subsistent après une opération physique ou chimique»; «résidus de déchiquetage» est une expression correcte mais pas «résidus de carcasses», une «carcasse» ne se rapportant pas à une «opération», à un procédé. 4, record 5, French, - r%C3%A9sidus%20de%20d%C3%A9chiquetage%20de%20carcasses%20de%20v%C3%A9hicules%20automobiles
