        Functioning


        This duck feeder will prevent food
        scattering when ducks feed. Food
        leftovers are a waste of resources, and
        may also cause rot and mould growths.






        Viability

        Big duck farms, such as Silver Hill, can
        produce over 80,000 ducks per week.
        With those numbers, ans based on the
        animal requirements and the current
        market, duck feed could cost them over
        300,000€ weekly.



        Taking into account that around 30% of
        duck feed is wasted because of                              Food refill
        scattering, reducing that number to zero                    Two vertical tubes on the top face
        could easily save them over 100,000€                        allow an easy refill. They can be
        every week.
                                                                    completely filled if desired. The
                                                                    position of the holes in relation to
                                                                    the bottom of the feeder will stop
                                                                    the food from overflowing.
