Before factories began producing machine-made goods for the livestock industry, farmers made much of what they needed themselves. This homemade feeder would have been used to feed medium and large livestock such as horses and cattle. Avant que les usines commencent à produire du matériel de manière industrielle pour le secteur de l’élevage, les agriculteurs fabriquaient eux-mêmes la plupart des objets dont ils avaient besoin. Ce nourrisseur artisanal aurait servi à nourrir du bétail moyen ou gros, comme des chevaux ou des bovins.

Function

This maple feeding trough was used to feed medium and large livestock such as horses and cattle. Ce nourrisseur artisanal aurait servi à nourrir du bétail moyen ou gros, comme des chevaux ou des bovins.

Technical

This feeder is made from a maple burl or knot. Burls were often used to make bowls or feeders — they are not only hard and durable, but are often already bowl-shaped. Ce nourrisseur a été fait dans un broussin d’érable. Le broussin (excroissance se développant sur un arbre) servait souvent à fabriquer des abreuvoirs ou des nourrisseurs. En effet, non seulement il était dur et durable, mais il avait souvent déjà une forme hémisphérique.
