I, JOHANN HEINRICII SPEYERER, of 89, Landgrafenstrasse, Lindenthal, Cologne,
Germany, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:
My invention relates to improvements in and connected with food for animals,
and its object is to make the said food much cheaper and at the same time be
more conducive to health than any of the foods for animals hitherto made and
used. This food is not intended to be mixed with any other animal food, but to
be eaten in the prepared form, hereinafter stated, which form may be made to
suit different animals and certain birds, without changing the principle of the
process. It can be used, for feeding horses, cattle, pigs etc., and also for poultry,
the only difference which has to be made in its preparation being, the proportions
of the different ingredients to be mixed together, so as to be best adapted to the
nature of the animals or birds to be fed, and the age and constitution of the
same.
The food consists chiefly of bran of rye and bran of wheat, mixed with boiling
water, to this is added some chopped straw and hay, a little coffee, some ground
oil-cakes, salt, and a large quantity of molasses. It further consists of sawdust
of fir or birch-wood, of some bruised Indian corn, bruised barley, bruised-oats,
and a little bicarbonate of sodium. A dough is made of these ingredients which
may then be rolled or formed into cakes, and baked or dried and ultimately
ground. The food is then ready for use.
corn,
The essential constituent parts are the different sorts of brans and bruised
which form the real nutritious matter. The molasses is also nutritious
matter and it serves at the same time for keeping the mixture together, and for
its conservation. The sawdust fills up and urges on the chewing and the
digestion. The chopped straw or hay is for a similar purpose, but it augments,
together with the oil cakes, the aroma of the food and the appetite of the animal.
The same can be said of the coffee, but its principal quality, in co-operation
with the bicarbonate of sodium is of a medicinal nature. The salt gives the
food the necessary flavour. The other constituent parts depend on the nature of
the animals to be fed.

My invention relates to improvements in and connected with food for animals,
and its object is to make the said food much cheaper and at the same time be
more conducive to health than any of the foods for animals hitherto made and
used. This food is not intended to be mixed with any other animal food, but to
be eaten in the prepared form hereinafter stated, which form may be made to
suit different animals and certain birds, without changing the principle of the
process. It can be used, for feeding horses, cattle, pigs etc. and also for poultry,
the only difference which has to be made in its preparation being the proportions
of the different ingredients to be mixed together, so as to be best adapted to the
nature of the animals or birds to be fed and the age and the constitution of the
same.
The food consists chiefly of 300 parts or thereabouts of bran of rye, and 200 or
thereabouts of bran of wheat, mixed with boiling water, to this is added 30 parts
or thereabouts of chopped straw and hay, 10 parts or thereabouts of coffee, 30
parts or thereabouts of ground oil-cakes, about 30 parts of salt, and 250 parts or
thereabouts of molasses. It further consists of 50 parts or thereabouts of sawdust
of fir or birch-wood, of 150 parts or thereabouts of bruised Indian corn, with
about 100 parts each of bruised barley, and bruised oats, and 10 parts or there-
abouts of bicarbonate of sodium. A dough is made of these ingredients which
may then be rolled or formed into cakes, and baked or dried, and ultimately
ground. The food is then ready for use.
The essential constituent parts are the different sorts of brans and bruised
Corn which form the real nutritious matter. The molasses is also nutritious
matter and it serves at the same time for keeping the mixture together, and for
its conservation. The sawdust fills up and urges on the chewing and the
digestion. The chopped straw or hay is for a similar purpose, but it augments
together with the oil cakes, the aroma of the food and the appetite of the animal.
The same can be said of the coffee, but its principal quality, in co-operation
with the bicarbonate of sodium is of a medicinal nature. The salt gives the
food the necessary flavour. The other constituent parts depend on the nature of
the animals to be fed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1. The herein described composition of matter and its use and application as a
food for animals and poultry substantially as set forth.
2. The herein described composition of matter consisting of water, bran of rye,
bran of wheat and molasses, chopped straw and hav, ground oil-cakes, saw-dust,
Indian corn, bruised barley and bruised oats, salt and bicarbonate of sodium,
and a small quantity of coffee.
