HALAKHAH: “One cleans up after an animal to be fattened,” etc.57Addition of the corrector in the ms.; missing in E. Because what the animal to be fattened leaves over, the grazing one eats58Explanation of Ritba (ed. M. Goldstein, Jerusalem 1990, col. 915). Since it remains animal feed it cannot become muqṣeh.. The following is in question: May one take from before one animal and give it before another animal? Is that not the Mishnah, “one may take from before one animal and put it before another on the Sabbath”? The Mishnah is about the same kind; what he asks is about another kind. It was stated, a person may take from before a donkey and put before a cow; from before an animal whose mouth is repelling to an animal whose mouth is nice59In this form the second statement contradicts the Babli 140b. Since also it contradicts the first statement, probably one should switch the terms “repelling” and “nice” (it is not impossible that this was E’s reading.) As the Babli explains, a donkey eats in a orderly manner, therefore food taken from before the donkey and put before a cow will be eaten. But cattle eat in a very disorderly way from a trough; the cow’s spittle in the grain will make it repellent to a donkey. Since remainders of cow feed are not donkey feed, one may not take food from before a cow and put it before a donkey..
