Ready-to-force-feed

Not sur about the hyphens, maybe there's a more accurate translation, but certain PAG is "prêt à gaver" :

Peer comment(s):

agree Bourth (X) : 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".

agree Alison Sabedoria (X) : 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.

agree John Speese : Even though it is a controversial and in some countries illegal practice, I too would call it what it is.
