I EDWARD WYLAM of Henry Street Tooley Street in the County of Surrey
Manufacturer do hereby declare the nature of this Invention to be as follows :—
My Invention has for its object to provide a food in which the Phosphatic qualities
necessary are readily and efficiently obtained.
For this purpose I employ fish in conjunction with the other necessary or desired
constituents of the food such for example as ground farinaceous material and the flesh
of animals.
I preferably retain the bones both of animals and fish as they have valuable feeding
properties. In conjunction with these materials I may also use the fruit of the dato
palm, beetroot cod liver oil Sulphur Phosphate of Lime Carbonate or other form of
iron or any one or more of these. Potatoes or Lentils or both may also be used.
The materials where it is convenient to do so may be pulped or dried and reduced and
when thoroughly mixed can be made into a dough or paste and formed into cakes
and baked.

page_text: I EDWARD WYLAM of Henry Street Tooley Street Southwark in the County of
Surrey, Manufacturer 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 manufacture and preparation of a new food for dogs
and other animals and for game and poultry.
My Invention has for its object to provide a food in which the phosphatic qualities
necessary are readily and efficiently obtained.
For this purpose I employ fish in conjunction with the other necessary or desired
constituents of the food such for example as ground farinaceous material and the flesh
of animals. I preferably retain the bones both of animals and fish as they have
valuable feeding properties. I do not limit myself to any one particular kind of fish
but I prefer Co Haddock or Herring and especially Herring. In conjunction with
the materials aforesaid I may also use Beetroot the fruit of the date palm, Cod liver
oil, sulphur phosphate of lime, Carbonate or other form of iron or any one or more
of these, potatoes or lentils or both may also be used. The materials where it is
convenient to do so may be dried then pulped or ground and so reduced and when
thoroughly mixed can be made into a dough or paste (with the addition of water when
necessary) and formed into cakes and baked.
In explaining my Invention I will state as an example the proportions of the
various ingredients employed in the production of a mass of about 25 cwt. For this
purpose I take about 12 hundred weight of wheat flour (and also preferably about
1 hundred weight of ground rice) about 2 hundred weight of Oatmeal, about
1 hundred weight of Lentil flour about 3 hundred weight of animal matter such for
example as the flesh of animals about from 1 to 5 hundred weight of fish (I prefer to
use no less than
hundred weight) about 1 hundred weight of the fruit of the date
palm may also be added and about 2 pounds of Sulphur and also if desired about
2 pounds of Phosphate of lime (or much less may be used as the fish provides
phosphates which will be in some cases sufficient without any phosphate of lime).
About 2 pounds of a suitable preparation of iron such for example as Carbonate of
iron and about one quarter of a pound of a suitable spice such for instance as essence
of peppermint will be an advantage. To the above ingredients or compound I may
add in any convenient manner as much beetroot or mangel wurzel (Beta vulgaris) and
potatoes as will amount to about one tenth in weight of the whole. The beetroot and
potatoes having been first cleaned (the skins however not being removed) are crushed
pulped or ground in any suitable manner for the better admixture with the rest of
the materials employed. The beetroot and potatoes may be employed in about equal
quantities or beet root may be employed without potatoes.

page_text: The fish and flesh of animals in combination as before stated give great phosphatic
value to the food. The fish may be dried or ground pulped and reduced and the
bones are preferably retained as they afford valuable feeding material.
The several ingredients are then placed in any suitable mixing machine and cod
liver oil may or may not be added thereto. If it be added the proportion of say 6
to 10 gallons to the aforesaid materials that is to say in the proportion of about 4 to
8 gallons of Cod liver oil to each ton of the other ingredients will be suitable. The
whole mass is mixed together sufficient water being added to bring it to say the
consistency of dough, after which the paste or dough so obtained is baked and
converted into baked cakes or biscuits and when so converted is ready for use. Some
of the above ingredients may be dispensed with and the proportions of all may be
varied as for instance, an increased quantity of Oatmeal may be used and a less
proportion of Lentil flour but in all cases the improved preparation of food is to
contain fish incorporated with the mass.
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 :-
-
An improved preparation or manufacture of food for animals and game and poultry
consisting of ingredients substantially as hereinbefore described the essential feature
being the employment of fish combined and incorporated with the other ingredients
substantially as described.
