Daleks fed on protein, occasionally harvesting it from their victims. Each Dalek was equipped with internal feeding tubes leading to an organic refuse disposal. While miniaturised inside a Dalek, the Twelfth Doctor revealed this process to Clara Oswald and a Combined Galactic Resistance squad after one of their own had been "hoovered" by a Dalek antibody, grimly pointing out that his remains constituted the top layer of the pool of liquified protein they had landed in.
