fatteners
Things promoting growth
Fatteners are things that fatten—feeds, supplements, or conditions that promote weight gain in livestock: The farmer added fatteners to the cattle's diet.
The term extends to foods or habits that cause human weight gain: Avoid the usual fatteners like chips and soda.
A fattener can also be a person who raises animals for slaughter.
