TRUVIDIONAL DEVITTUATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Food for Dogs, Poultry, and
other Animals.
I, ALFRED CHRISTOPHER WILLIAM HOBMAN of 110 Queen's Road, Peckham
in the County of Surrey Contractor, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to produce a new food for dogs. poultry, and other
animals, for which a more or less carnivorous diet is necessary or desirable, and
the invention consists essentially in making a cake or biscuit from neal mixed
with blood.
In carrying out my invention, I take a meal of wheat, oats, barley, maize, rye,
peas, rice, or other cereal, and mix it with blood in the proportions, say, of about
2 parts of meal to one of blood.
These materials I knead well up, together with a small quantity of salt. 1.then
take a suitable quantity, and tie it up in a cloth in the manner usual with cooks
when about to make a boiled pudding, and I boil it in water for about two hours.
I then allow the mass to cool, and I cut it up into slabs or cakes, which are
dried or baked in suitable ovens or apparatus, after which the food will be ready
for use.
To the above ingredients may be added, in varying proportions, and according
to requirements, one or more of the following substances, viz. :-sugar, jelly made
by boiling down fish of various kinds, vegetable matter, such as mangold wurzel
boiled down and pulped, fat of various kinds, sulphur or other medicament for
medicinal purposes, and any other materials that may be suitable, and which have
heretofore been employed in the manufacture of such foods.
Dated this 22nd day of November 1895.

Improvements in the Manufacture of Food for Dogs, Poultry, and
other Animals.
I, ALFRED CHRISTOPHER WILLIAM HOBMAN of 110 Queen's Road, Peckham,
in the County of Surrey, Contractor, do hereby declare the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described
and ascertained iu and by the following statement :-
The object of this invention is to produce a new food for dogs, poultry, and
other animals for which a more or less carnivorous diet is necessary or desirable,
and the invention consists essentially in making a cake or biscuit from meal mixed
with blood.
In carrying out my invention I take a meal of wheat, cats, barley, maize, rye,
peas, rice, or other cereal, and mix it with blood in varying proportions.

page_text: These materials I knead well up, together with a small quantity of water and
salt. I then bake in the usual way of baking to produce a biscuit.
To the above ingredients may be added, in varying proportions, and according
to requirements, one or more of the following substances, viz.: vegetable matter,
such as mangold wurzel, fat of various kinds, sulphur, aniseed, or other medicament
for medicinal purposes, and any other materials that may be suitable, and which
have heretofore been employed in the manufacture of such foods.
For the purposes of my invention, I have found that the ingredients hereafter
named, and mixed in the manner described, make a most satisfactory product,
thus -Wheat flour, 70 lbs.; middlings (finest refuse of bran) 70 lbs. ; fat
(intestines of sheep &c.) 35 lbs.; blood, 14 lbs.; mangold wurzel, 14 lbs. ; water,
18 lbs. salt, 1 lbs.; and ground aniseed, 1 lbs.
j
I first mix the flour, middlings, aniseed, and salt, dry. I then take the fat and
the mangold, which have been minced very fine in a suitable machine until it
becomes somewhat of a creamy consistency, and thoroughly mix this creamy mass
with the dry flour, &c. Finally, I add the blood and water, and knead the
ingredients well together, previous to baking. The blood is used as it comes from
the slaughterhouse, and without any special preparation.
For use as a poultry food, I grind up the baked biscuit, so as to make a meal,
which will be mixed with hot or cold water, according to the season.
It will be understood that I do not intend to confine myself to the exact
ingredients and the proportions stated, as they may be somewhat varied without
departing from the nature of my invention.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what 1
claim is :-
1. The manufacture of a food for dogs, poultry, and other animals, as herein
described.
2. In a food for animals, the use, in combination, of blood, as taken from the
slaughterhouse, and a meal, as set forth.
3. In a food for animals, the use, in combination, of blood, as taken from the
slaughterhouse, a meal, and vegetable matter or root-food, as mangold wurzel, as
herein described.
4. In a food for animals, the use, in combination, of blood, as taken from the
slaughterhouse, a meal, a root-food, and a suitable fat, as herein described.
