A person who works with feed, such as one who operates feed mills, distributes feed to animals, or works in feed management.
From 'feed' plus 'man' (Old English 'mann'), a compound occupational term that follows the traditional English pattern of creating job titles with '-man' (milkman, postman, fireman).
Occupational compounds with '-man' (milkman, fisherman, policeman) are becoming less common as 'worker' or gender-neutral alternatives replace them, but they're a fascinating window into what jobs were common enough 100 years ago to need their own words.
Occupational noun defaulting to male. Reflects historical practice of job titles assuming male workers; standard in agricultural terminology through 20th century.
Use 'feed worker' or 'feeder' instead; if historical context matters, use 'feedman/feedwoman' or context-neutral term.
