Improvements in the Manufacture or Production of Food for Dogs,
Poultry, or other Animals.
I, STEPHEN WINGROVE, of Henry Street, Tooley Street, Bermondsey, in the
County of London, Manager of Spratts' Patent Limited, do hereby declare the
Dature 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:
The object of my invention is to provide a food for dogs, poultry or other animals
which possesses great feeding or nourishing qualities and which is readily
assimilated by the animals fed with it.
According to my invention I combine with the farinaceous, or animal matter,
or both, used as constituents of the food, a preparation, or extract, of malt prefer-
ably with the addition of cod liver oil, the said preparation, or extract, of malt,
or the preparation, or extract, of malt together with the cod liver oil, being added
to the other ingredient, or ingredients, and thoroughly incorporated therewith
and the whole being then baked, or cooked, in the form of biscuits, or in other
required form.

page_text: I do not limit myself to the precise mode of preparation or precise proportions
but the following give good results.
I take say 81 parts by weight of farinaceous matter such as wheaten flour,
ground maize or the like and 13 parts by weight of animal matter such as fish
or the flesh of oxen from which fat has been removed and 4 parts by weight of
a preparation or extract of malt and 2 parts by weight of cod liver oil and I
thoroughly incorporate them adding sufficient water to make a paste or dough.
This I form into biscuits or the like and bake. I may form the biscuits from
farinaceous matter without animal matter or from animal matter without farina-
ceous matter taking a quantity of each equal to the combined proportions above
stated and I may omit the cod liver oil if desired.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is::
1. Food for dogs, poultry or other animals composed of farinaceous matter or
animal matter or both combined and a preparation or extract of malt.
2. Food for dogs, poultry or other animals composed of farinaceous matter or
animal matter or both combined and a preparation or extract of malt and cod
liver oil.
3. A food for dogs, poultry, or other animals prepared as herein before described.
Dated this 10th day of March 1898.
