PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Bread and Biscuits for
Feeding Animals.
I, BERNARD LOEWENSTEIN, of 11 Rue Laffitte, Paris, in the Republic of
France, Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
In former Letters Patent, No. 21,251, dated 8th November 1893, there is
described and claimed a food for animals. This food, which is called by the name
of "Fourrage Verkindere," consists of a powder the essential element in which is the
flour of horse-beans, haricot or kidney beans, or peas combined with other substances
and subjected to a slight roasting.
The present invention relates to the application of the same substances to the
manufacture of bread and biscuits for feeding animals.
For this purpose, the several materials which have been enumerated in the Patent
above mentioned are subjected to the ordinary operations of kneading and baking
so as to bring them into the desired condition to form bread or biscuits.
As seen in that Patent, the base of the composition of the said foods for animals
is the flour of horse-beans, maize, colza-oil-rake, etc. to which can be added any
other cereals, such as corn, rye, rice, etc. as well as any substances adapted to
promote or facilitate assimilation of these foods by the animals, and such, for
example, as salt, fenugreek, pepper, mustard, laurel berries, etc., etc.
The bread and biscuits made by the application of the said forage, suitably
kneaded and baked, may be of any desired form, although I prefer to make them
in the shape of balls, croquettes or cracknels of small size which will easily mix
with the corn, seed or other foods employed for feeding cattle.
These balls, croquettes, or cracknels present the following advantages over
ordinary biscuits :-
They possess, for an equal weight, a higher nutritive value, because they contain
less moisture; the animals can crush them easily without the necessity for previously
breaking or crushing them, and their assimilation is, consequently, more perfect.
It must be understood that my croquettes or cracknels may also be made by any
suitable machines used in the manufacture of products having the form of granules,
pearls, pills, etc.
