PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Fodder for Horses, Cattle, Sheep, and other
Animals.
I, CECIL ARTHUR COOMBE of George Street Sheffield, in the County of York,
Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to the production of an improved cattle fodder from a basis
of Brewers Grains which have been previously desiccated "in vacuo," in combination
with other substances suitable for Cattle fodder.
:
In carrying out my invention I may use any suitable machinery for compounding
or mixing the materials, and I may vary the combination of the ingredients according
to the nature and special purpose of the desired mixture; but I use for ordinary
purposes and as additions to the above mentioned Brewers Grains, ground linseed
Cake, decorticated Cottonseed Cake, Earthnut Cake, Palmnut meal beans peas,
bran, pollards, or malteulms or in combination. I vary the proportions of the said
ingredients according to the purpose for which the food is required, but I prefer to
regulate the ingredients and their proportions so as to obtain a product containing
about twenty two per cent. of proteids, or flesh forming constituents, and sixty six
per cent. of fat forming constituents.
For example, such a cattle food or fodder would be represented by the following
mixture.

This invention relates to the production of an improved cattle fodder from a basis
of Brewers Grains (which have been previously desiccated "in vacuo
or under
diminished atmospheric pressure) in combination with other substances suitable for
cattle fodder.
In carrying out my invention I may use any suitable machinery for compounding
or mixing the materials and I may vary the combination of the ingredients according
to the nature and special purpose of the desired mixture. Thus I use for ordinary
purposes and as additions to the above mentioned Brewers Grains, ground linseed Cake,
D
;

page_text: decorticated Cottonseed Cake, Earthnut Cake, Palmnut meal beans, peas, bran'
pollards, maltculms or dust, and either singly, or two or more in combination. In
other cases I employ locust beans, molasses, sugar, beet, and other saccharine
substances..
The mixture may be flavoured with salt, nitre, spices, or similar substances. I vary
the proportions of the said ingredients according to the purpose for which the food
is required but I prefer to regulate the ingredients and their proportions so as to
obtain a product containing about twenty two per cent. of proteids, or flesh forming
constituents and sixty six per cent. of fat forming constituents.
For example, such a cattle food or folder would be represented by the following
mixture.
When desire to obtain the food in the form of a solid Cake, instead of in a
loose condition, I make such modifications of, or additions to the above or similar
ingredients as will facilitate the formation of a cake, on submitting them to pressure
in the ordinary way. Suitable additions for this purpose are locust beans, molasses,
ground linseed, nigerseed, earthnuts, and other oleaginous substances.
A suitable mixture for this purpose consists of:-
Desiccated Brewers Grains
Malt Culms
Ground Peas or Beans
Decorticated Cotton Cake
Locust bean meal
50 to 60 per cent.

But I do not confine myself to the above or any other proportions.
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 I
claim is :-
A cattle food consisting of a combination of Brewers Grains which have been
previously dried in a vacuum, or under diminished atmospheric pressure, with any
other suitable substance or substances, either in a loose condition or pressed into
cakes.
