We may untie bundles of straw before an animal, and we may scatter tender cedar boughs, but not triply bound bundles of straw. We may not shred neither fodder nor carobs before an animal, whether [it is] lightweight or heavyweight. R’ Yehudah permits [crushing] carobs for a lightweight [animal].

We may neither stuff a camel, nor cram it, but we may put food into its mouth. We may not fatten calves, but we may put food into their mouths. We may put food into the mouths of fowls, and we may put water into bran, but we may not knead it. We may not place water before bees or before doves that are in a dovecote, but we may place [water] before geese and chickens, and before Herodian doves.
