English term

take away

English to French Science General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters an organic food supplement
salut tout le monde, pouvez-vous s'il vous plait m'aider à traduire le verbe "to take away" dans ce contexte" Controlling the various species of Streptococci and Lactobacilli also reduce the undesirable use of H2 and allows more to be used in the desirable formation of propionate. Proprionate is largely responsible foranimal growth. Isotricha and Entodini are two protozoa which commonly infect the rumin. Again they take away energy and nutrients from the farm animal.

priver de

Note that here, the sense of 'take away from' here is really that of 'deprive', so I think 'priver' ought to work (though it is of course only a partial deprivation!)

I did wonder if it is possible to use 'usurper' in this way in FR — if it is, then that might have just the right connotation here.
Peer comment(s):

neutral MelodieR : Hi Tony, just to react on "usurper": it doesn't work here. Usurper is only used in the context of identity theft > usurper une identité/usurpation d'identité :)

Brilliant, thanks a lot Melodie for that helpful feedback! I was rather afarid that might be the case, tho' in EN 'usurp' would arguably have been usable here. Worth a try, and at least I learnt something ;-)
