Improvements in the Manufacture of Food for 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 food cake or biscuit,
consisting of a basis of desiccated and disintegrated brewers-grains mixed with any
other substance or substances which will facilitate the adhesion of the particles,
and the production of a coherent cake or biscuit without the use of excessivo
pressure.
In carrying my invention into practice I use brewers grains which have been
desiccated by any suitable process. I reduce such desiccated grains to a finer
state of division by means of suitable machinery, such for example as "The Devil”
disintegrator.
Having reduced the grains to a proper state of division, I mix with them other
materials suitable as ingredients for cattle-food and which will facilitate the formation
of a coherent cake.
A suitable mixture for the purpose consists of desiccated and disintegrated brewers
grains 70 to 80 per cent. ; malt culis, or ground beans, or peas, 5 to 10 per cent.,
locust bean meal, sugar foots, or molasses 5 to 10 per cent., linseed 5 to 10 per cent.,
but I do not confine myself to the above or other proportions.
In cases where I desire to produce a cake consisting almost wholly of desiccated
and disintegrated brewers grains, I add simply so much of other materials as may be
necessary to impart coherence to the cake without regard to their food value, by
preference gum, dextrin, starch, farina, gelatin, albumin, algin.
Ι
Having made the mixture of the ingredients in suitable proportions for the intended
purpose, I compress it into cakes, biscuits, or other convenient forms, either with or
without the aid of heat.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in the Manufacture of Food for Animals.
I, CECIL ARTHUR COOMBE of George Street, Sheffield in the County of York,
Merchant, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
This invention relates to the production of an improved cattle food cake or biscuit,
consisting of a basis of desiccated and disintegrated spent grains from breweries or
distilleries mixed with any other substance or substances which will facilitate the
adhesion of the particles, and the production of a coherent cake or biscuit without the
necessity for the use of excessive pressure.
In carrying my invention into practice I use brewers or distillers grains which
have been desiccated by any suitable process. I reduce such desiccated grains to a
finer state of division by means of suitable machinery, such for example as "The
Devil" disintegrator, ordinary or French millstones, or other means.
Having reduced the grains to a proper state of division, I mix with them other
materials suitable as ingredients for cattle food and which will facilitate the formation
of a coherent cake.

page_text: A suitable mixture for the purpose consists of desiccated and disintegrated brewers
or distiller's grains 70 to 80 per cent.; malt culms, or ground beans or peas
5 to 10 per cent.; locust bean meal, sugar foots, or molasses 5 to 10 per cent. ; linseed
5 to 10 per cent.; but I do not confine myself to the above proportions. In cases
where I desire to produce a cake consisting almost wholly of desiccated and disinte-
grated brewers or distillers grains, I add simply so much of other materials as may be
necessary to impart coherence to the cake without regard to their food value, by
preference gum, dextrin, starch, farina, gelatin, albumin, or algin.
Having made the mixture of the ingredients in suitable proportions for the intended
purpose, I compress it into cakes, biscuits, or other convenient forms, either with or
without the aid of heat, but I prefer in practice to compress the said mixture whilst
in a heated state and to keep it under such pressure until cool.
By the term "basis" herein before used I mean a proportion of at least one half of
the entire mixture.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and the manner in which the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
An improved cattle food cake or biscuit consisting of at least 50 per cent. of
desiccated and disintegrated brewers or distillers grains with any other substance or
substances which will facilitate the cohesion of the particles and the production of a
coherent cake or biscuit without the necessity for the use of excessive pressure.
Dated the 22nd day of May 1900.
