Culture demaïs Tonne demaïs
Séchage - Stockage Tonne demaïs
Fabrication d’aliments Tonne d’aliment

Ready-to-force-feed
Explanation:
Not sur about the hyphens, maybe there's a more accurate translation, but certain PAG is "prêt à gaver" :

Thanks. Went for the 'ready-to-force-feed' since I did not have another in-trade term & opted to call it like it is. Thank you for your help!

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  xxxBourth: Though for the soft-hearted ducky-loving Anglosphere market, even if for prof. duck fatteners, it might not be wise to insist on the force-feeding aspect. Maybe just "ready for fattening".
52 mins
agree  Wordeffect: But I disagree with Bourth - let's tell it like it is, coquis! (quack-quack)
1 hr
agree  Tony M: I've a feeling there is a specialist term for this, something along the lines of "ready to bring on" or somesuch
1 hr
agree  Simon Mountifield: Agree with Bourth on this, since the "force-feeding" aspect is quite controversial. Incidentally, "gavage" is apparently used in English - see Wikipedia.
2 hrs
agree  Jean-Louis S.: I agree with a specific translation. "Ready for fattening" is the standard term for any animal (pigs, ducks, chickenn,...) toward the end of the 'growing' process. 'Ready for gavage' might be OK.
7 hrs
agree  John Speese: Even though it is a controversial and in some countries illegal practice, I too would call it what it is.
