    Leviticus 11:3 "Whatsoever parteth the hoof, and is clovenfooted, and cheweth the cud, among the beasts, that shall ye eat."


    Parteth the hoof means any hoof that is parted.

    Are those with 'fractured' hoofs comfortable in their life when they need to walk around? If not, maybe if they have parted hoofs, have those 'line fractures' and chew the cud, they are permissible to eat.

    Or is the fracture that 'parteth/is split in/on the hoof' and the clovenfooted the splitted toes? Or is clovenfooted also a split hoof?

    Definition of hoof


    1: a curved covering of horn that protects the front of or encloses the ends of the digits of an ungulate mammal and that corresponds to a nail or claw

    2: a hoofed foot especially of a horse

    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hoof


    Whatsoever parteth the hoof

    and is clovenfooted


    Are calves birthed with full 'hoofs'?


    Hooves perform many functions, including supporting the weight of the animal, dissipating the energy impact as the hooves strike the ground or surface, protecting the tissues and bone within the hoof capsule, and providing traction for the animal.

    There are four layers within the exterior wall of the hoof.

    Hooves grow continuously. In nature, wild animals are capable of wearing down the hoof as it continuously grows, but domesticated species often must undergo specific hoof care for a healthy, functional hoof. If not worn down by use, such as in the dairy or equine industries, hooves may need to be trimmed by a farrier. Appropriate hoof trimming is essential to prevent lameness
