Animal with Split Hooves

Considered Kosher

Animals with cloven hooves, also known as cleft hooves, split hooves, or divided hooves, are considered kosher according to Jewish dietary laws. This characteristic is found in certain animals belonging to the artiodactyla order, including cattle, sheep, goats, and deer. The presence of cloven hooves indicates that the animal chews its cud, which is another requirement for kosher animals.
