Patented Method for creating fat free animal feed powder using perchloroethylene (drycleaning fluid) http://archive.is/0zibq

https://www.google.com/patents/US2788275 The method according to the invention consists essentially of a combination of several process steps, which, of course, may be subject to certain variations. In the first step the fat-containing substance of animal origin, i. e., fish, animal carcasses and the like, is heated and treated in a suitable reaction vessel in known manner by means of steam under pressure; thereby, the bones are softened, the flesh falls apart, etc., so that a substantially homogeneous and compact mass is obtaine having a temperature of, for example, 119 C. Thereupon, liquid perchloroethylene is added to the mass, for two different purposes, and the mixture is subjected to distillation. 0n the one hand, the mass thereby becomes dehydrated as the water is distilled off with the perchloroethylene. On the other hand, the perchloroethylene penetrates into the gradually dehydrated and thus now-coherent mass, causing an efficient extraction of the fat. After a period of time, the extraction and dehydration processes are concluded, so that the liquid extract may be drawn 0E. Thereupon, the residual solid material is washed with perchloroethylene in order to remove the last remnants of fat. The next step, which is essential to the process according to the invention is now performed, namely the infusion of perchloroethylene vapors into the extracted mass. This is continued until ice the vapors escaping into the cooler have a temperature of about 119 C. The perchloroethylene is then blown off by means of steam having a temperature of about C. Surprisingly, this does not cause the mass to agglomerate or to form lumps. After the blowing-off of the perchloroethylene, a practically fatfree, dry, odorless mass is obtained having a powdery and crumbly consistency, which is readily consumed by animals as a feeding stuff."

Could be mixed into other foods like dog food yeasted doughs animal pellets etc.

This stuff is being found everywhere in our environment including the water supply at Camp Lejeune where many stationed men had reported reported breast cancer. The chemical is a known cause endocrine disruption etc.

I work in a dry cleaning plant and we no longer use Perc, just petroleum. It would be interesting to know who supplies them and if they choose to still use it or can't afford to switch to the safer chemical or something.
