Midrash for Chullin 70:24
הוכשרו בשחיטה
It means, does it not, by the slaughtering and not by the blood? - No, it means, even by the slaughtering.
Sifrei Devarim
"On the earth shall you spill it as water": Just as it is permitted to derive benefit from water, it is permitted to derive benefit from blood — Just as water renders seed susceptible (of incurring tumah), so, blood. Just as water need not be covered, so blood (that of a disqualified offering which has been slaughtered) need not be covered.
