feeding trough
Barn meal container
A feeding trough is a long, narrow container from which livestock eat or drink.
Troughs are typically open-topped and set low to the ground, allowing animals like pigs, cattle, or horses to access feed or water easily.
The phrase sometimes appears figuratively for any situation where people crowd in to consume resources: Politicians lined up at the feeding trough of campaign donations.
