Best Answer

In order for an animal to be considered permissible for eating according to the laws of kashrut, it has to chew its cud and have split hooves (Deuteronomy ch.14). Examples of animals that meet this requirement are cows, sheep (lamb), deer, and buffalo. It also must be slaughtered and processed following the rules set out in the laws of kashrut.

In order for an animal to be considered fit for eating, according to the laws of kashrut, it has to chew its cud and have split hooves. Examples of animals that meet this requirement are cows, sheep (lamb), deer, and buffalo.

However, even if the animal is considered fit for consumption, it isn't kosher unless it's been slaughtered and processed following the rules set out in the laws of kashrut.
