EDWARD WYLAM of Henry Street, Tooley Street, Southwark in the County of
Surrey Manufacturer "AN IMPROVED PREPARATION OF FOOD FOR ANIMALS,
GAME AND POULTRY"
This Invention relates to the manufacture and preparation of a new food for
dogs and other animals or Game or Poultry. In explaining my Invention I will
state as an example the proportions of the various ingredients employed in the
production of a mass of about twenty four hundred weight.
For this purpose
take about twelve hundred weight of wheat flour one hundred weight of ground
Rice about two hundred weight of Oatmeal about one hundred weight of Lentil
flour about three hundred weight of animal matter such for example as the flesh
of Animals about one hundred weight of the fruit of the Date palm, about two
pounds of Sulphur about two pounds of Phosphate of Lime about two pounds of a
suitable preparation of iron such for example as Carbonate of Iron and about one
quarter of a pound of a suitable "spice" such for instance as Essence of Peppermint.
To the above ingredients or compound I add in any convenient manner as much
Beetroot, Mangel Wurzel, beta vulgaris or the like as will amount to about one
tenth in weight of the whole. This Beetroot having been first cleaned is crushed
pulped or ground in any suitable manner for the better admixture with the rest of
the materials employed These ingredients are then placed in any suitable mixing
machine and Cod liver oil is added thereto in the proportion of say ten gallons to
the aforesaid materials that is to say in the proportion of about eight gallons of
Cod liver oil to each ton of the other ingredients and the whole is then mixed
together sufficient water being added to bring the mass to say the consistency of
dough after which the paste or dough so obtained is baked and converted into
bread, Cakes, or biscuits, and when so converted is ready for use. Some of the
above ingredients may be dispensed with and the proportions of all may be varied
as for instance an increased quantity of Oatmeal may be used and a less proportion
of Lentil flour but in all cases the improved preparation of food is intended to
contain a very considerable portion of Beetroot Mangel, Wurzel or Beta vulgaris.
Having now described and particularly ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and the manner in which the same is or may be used or carried into
effect I would observe in conclusion that what I consider to be novel and original and
therefore claim as the Invention secured to me by the herein before in part recited
Letters Patent is.―
An improved preparation or manufacture of food for animals or game or poultry
consisting of ingredients substantially as herein before described the essential
feature being the employment of Cod liver oil combined and incorporated with the
other ingredients substantially as described
In witness whereof I the said Edward Wylam have to this my Specification set
my hand and seal this Thirtyfirst day of March One thousand eight hundred and
eighty four
