ABSTRACT:
A feed saving insert is described that is positionable on the surface of feed within a feed bucket. The insert includes a sheet formed into a disk that is sized to be loosely received through the bucket top opening and to rest against feed within the bucket. Access apertures are formed through the disk and are uniformly spaced about the disk to permit limited access to feed under the disk. The disk and access apertures are sized such that access to the feed within the bucket is limited and so the disk will float on the feed within the bucket and will change in elevation within the bucket in response to removal of feed during feeding. A guide shaft is provided, projecting downwardly from the disk and through an opening in the bucket bottom to hold the disk substantially parallel to the bucket bottom and guide the disk in its downward movement responsive to removal of feed from the bucket.
