I just found this old post to Areivim (from January) in my old  email -- if 
it has already been extensively discussed, I missed it  or have forgotten 
it.:

nice pics  of treif anatomy

"Some farmers are giving their cows feed combinations that may cause bloat, 
 and cows apparently aren’t good at burping and can explode. A solution to 
this  is a rumen injector or trocar puncture tool. These are tools that 
punch anywhere  from small to fist sized holes into one of the cow’s stomachs – 
a procedure that  automatically renders the cow not kosher."
 



I am going to ask a childishly simple question. Doesn't treif mean the  
animal has a condition that will soon cause its death? If the farmer does a  
procedure that creates a hole in the cow's stomach -- but he does it to 
PREVENT  the cow's death -- why does it make the cow treif? Does everyone agree 
that this  procedure renders the cow treif, or are there poskim who consider 
the cow  kosher?
