French term or phrase: adjuvants de fabrication
additifs et adjuvants de fabrication dont l'atelier a pris livraison
Aisling O'Callaghan
Processing aid
Explanation:
Source GDT :
Parmi les adjuvants, on peut citer avant tout le glutamate ou les acides guanyliques et inosiniques.
Beaucoup confondent les termes d'améliorants et d'adjuvants des farines, qui ont pourtant des caractéristiques bien différentes, qui leur ont été consacrées par l'usage : - certes les adjuvants améliorent les qualités plastiques, fermentaires ou nutritionnelles des farines lors de leur utilisation dans nos industries et ont donc droit théoriquement aussi éthymologiquement à la dénomination d'« améliorants ». - par contre, les vrais améliorants chimiques des farines, sont des agents de blanchiment, accélérant la maturation des farines, insuffisante aussitôt après la mouture, dont le caractère commun est que ce sont des oxydants.

additives and ingredients


Explanation:
I haven't seen your text, so only you will know from the context if it is important to specify that the additives were manufactured...or are they really referring to the components of the animal food, eg the additives and ingredients?

neutral  Anna Maria Augustine at proZ.com: ingredients - is not in the question

  -> to follow your logic, I would have to say "additives and additives". The question is what the source text means, not just what the actual words translate to

manufactured additives


Explanation:
In fact they are just repeating themselves because "additifs et adjuvants" means the same thing, so you just need to put one of them.
Factory made additives is an alternative. Or you could put : contains especially made additives for animals.

disagree  Tony M: No, they are NOT just repeating themselves! there is a difference between an 'additif' and an 'adjuvant de fabrication'

additives and admixtures


Explanation:
I don't know about the animal feed industry, but for concrete manufacture, a distinction is made between admixtures (adjuvants) which are added to the concrete as it is mixed, and additives (additifs) which are added to the cement used to make the concrete, to improve its qualities.

Looks to me as if "de fabrication" can be dispensed with.

agree  Tony M: Yes, my point exactly; I think in fact these are 'adjuvants de fabrication' or 'production/manufactruing additives', i.e. things that are only added to assist in manufacture, rather than 'additives' that lend extra qualities to the product

adjuvants; inputs


Explanation:
A possibility, depending on what materials are referred to - adjuvants mainly seem to refer to chemicals.

Eg
"Adjuvants
New, innovative products help Helena maintain its highly regarded reputation in the adjuvant industry"
"BioScience
This quickly developing segment of agricultural inputs is getting attention from all markets"

"The NOSB adopted these criteria as internal guidelines for evaluating processing aids and **adjuvants**"

"The ESMs are readily extractable and might be used as ”natural” processing **adjuvants** for reducing bacterial heat resistance in foods or pharmaceuticals."
