French term
pré-traite
French to English
Other
Livestock / Animal Husbandry
This appears at the top of a series of information sheets about new animal nutrition products - just above the trade name in fact - My first thought was "pre-milking care" or "pre-milking products". However, since the products are also intended for pigs and poultry, I don't think this can be the case. I was wondering if "traite" here was being used in its sense of "trade", i.e. preparing livestock for being sent to market. However, I can't find any confirmation of this guess, so any enlightenment would be most gratefully received!

pre-milking
I would definitely go with the milking as it makes the most sense in the context of nutrional supplements for cows and goats
Note from asker:
| Thanks Phillisa. I think this is looking likely, but I'll wait to confirm that the client is going to remove the term from their products for pigs and poultry! |

pretreatment
a bit of context next time, please!
Note from asker:
| Sorry, kashew, there's no much more to add. The trade name is followed by a list of livestock it can be used for, ingredients and instructions for use. Thanks for your suggestion though. |

pre-processed (product)
I guess the accent on the e has been forgotten. The following ref. may be useful.

pretreats
I think it's the animal feed (like oil-cake, cattle cake, peanuts, agricultural waste) that is pretreated, not the animal.

Note from asker:
| Thanks for that, Gabriella. It doesn't appear to be the feed, though. It is the livestock rearer who has to add the product to the animals' feed or water. I think I shall have to ask for clarification from the client. |
