Improvements in the Preparation and Manufacture of Food for
Dogs, Poultry, Pigs, and other Animals.
1 GEORGE JAMES ANDREWS of 118 Falcon Road Clapham Junction in the County
of Surrey Chemist do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:-
For simplicity of explanation I will describe the Improvements in preparing and
manufacture of the above mentioned Food unler 3 heads.
First The kinds of substances I use for the Food.
Second: The manner I adopt in preparing such Food.
Third The chemical constituents or component parts of such Food.
1st. The substances I use are the refuse bones after boiling or cooking (both
animal and fish) fribrinous (lean) portions of coarser kinds of meat, coarse flour,
Indian meal, Iye meal, Oat meal Barley meal, rice or other farinaceous substances.
2nd. I subject the bones to a boiling to remove all fat. They are then dessicated
crushed and passed through a sieve of half an inch mesh-I also subject the
fibrinous or animal portions to a boiling to remove all fat. This is drained of
moisture reduced to a pulp, and dessicated-I subject the farinaceous to a dry heat
until all moisture is removed. I then add to and thoroughly mix with this farina
finely levigated charcoal in proportion of 3 pounds to one hundred weight
(112 pounds). I then amalgamate thoroughly the three dessicated substancos,
namely, the bones, the fibrinous (animal portions) and the farina. This forms the
food in a dessicated or dry form-In further preparing it for portability I add
moisture sufficient to form a mass or hard but plastic dough. This Dough is
divided into portions of certain weight and subjected to great mechanical pressure
and (if necessary) afterwards dried in hot air chambers-The rosult being portable
tablets of compressed compound of about six ounces in weight and will be known
to the Public as The "Protean Compound or "Sanitary food for Dogs Poultry
Pigs and other animals.
Brd. The chemical constituents of such food are aluminous farinaceous fibrinous
and gelatinous.
Thus clain by my Invention the Improvements in preparing and manufacturing
food for Dogs Poultry Pigs and other animals.

Improvements in the Preparation and Manufacture of Food for
Dogs, Poultry, Pigs, and other Animals.
J, GEORGE JAMES ANDREWS of 118 Falcon Road, Clapham Junction in the
County of Surrey, Chemist, 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 :-
For simplicity of explanation I will describe the improvements in preparing and
manufacture of the above mentioned food under three leads.
First The kinds of substances I use for the food.
Second The manner I adopt in preparing such food.
Third The chemical constituents or component parts of such food.
:
1st. The substances I use are the refuse bones after hoiling or cooking (both
animal and fisb) fibrinous (lean) portions of coarser kinds of meat, coarse flour,
Indian meal, Rye meal oatmeal, Barley meal, Rice and other farinaceous substances.

page_text: 2nd. I subject the bones to a boiling to remove all fat and they are then dessicated
erushed and passed through a sieve of half an inch m'sh. I also subject the
fibrinous or animal portion to a boiling to remove all fat. This is drained of moisture,
.reduced to a pulp and dessicated. subject the farinaceous substance to a dry heat
until all moisture is removed, 1 then add to and thoroughly mix with this farina,
finely levigated charcoal in proportion of three pounds to one hundred weight
(112 pounds) 1 then amalgamate thoroughly the three dessicated substances namely,
the bones, the fibrinous (animal portions) and the farina. This forms the food in a
dessicated or dry form. In further preparing it for portability I add moisture
sufficient to form a mass of hard but plastic dough. This dough is divided into
portions of certain weight and subjected to great mechanical pressure and (if necessary)
afterwards dried in hot air clumbers, the result being portable tablets of compressed
compound of about six ounces in weight and will be known to the public as The
"Protean Compound or "Sanitary food" for dogs, poultry, pigs, and other animals.
3rd. The chemical constituents of such food are albuminous, farinaceous, fibrinous
and gelatinous.
The approximate proportions of the dessicated substances employed for the manu-
facture of my Protein Compound may be as follows:-
:―
Prepared Charcoal
22
2
7th part
18 lbs.
23
6 cwts. 18 lbs.
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
cluim is:
1 In food for animals, the combination of bones meat, flour, Indian meal, Rye meal,
Oatmeal, barley meal, rice, and farinaceous substances generally, the said bones or
boney materials being boiled. dessicated, crushed and passed through sieves, the
fibrinous and animal portions being boiled and reduced to pulp and dessicated, the
farinaceous substancos being subjected to dry heat, levigated charcoal being mixed with
the farina prepared as above, the ingredients viz., bones, fibrinous meat and farina
being thoroughly mixed together and all treated so as to form a food for animals
substantially in manner described.
2. Portable tablets of compressed food composed of the ingredients herein specified
and treated in the manner described and having levigated charcoal mixed with it
substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
3. The Protean or sanitary food for dogs, pigs, poultry, and other animals, com-
pounded treated and containing albuminous, farinaceous fibrinous, and gelatinous
constituents, substantially as before described.
