<p>A drum-shaped feed dispenser (10) has a hollow body (12) in the shape of a generally prolate spheroid with truncated longitudinal ends. The hollow body (12) is made of a lightweight material such as plastic, and granular feed can be poured into the hollow body (12) through one end. A circumferential band (30) of the hollow body (12) at the longitudinal center of the drum (10) has an annual shape defining a central portion of the drum (10). The hollow body (12) includes a plurality of longitudinal recessed channels (34) extending from the end walls (22, 24) of the drum (10) to the edges of the central portion. The end of each recessed channel (34) adjacent the central portion (30) of the drum is defined by a transverse side wall (36). A feed dispensing aperture (38) through which the granular feed can pass is formed in at least one of the side walls (36).</p> |
