A little feed for a chap with a broken leg (6)

I believe the answer is:

mangel

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a little feed' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'a chap with a broken leg' is the wordplay.
'a chap' becomes 'man' (I've seen this before).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a broken' indicates anagramming the letters.
'leg' with letters rearranged gives 'gel'.
'man'+'gel'='MANGEL'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mangel that I've seen before include "cattle food" , "Type of beet for cattle fodder" .)
