[7] The reason: As this statement is for the need of the meal and is hence not considered an interval, as it is forbidden to eat prior to feeding one’s animals, as the verse [Devarim 11:5] states “Venasati Eisev Bisadecha Livhemtecha” and only afterwards it states “Veachalta Vesavata.” [Admur ibid; C.M. Hilchos Tzaar Baalei Chaim Kuntrus Achron 3 that it is Rabbinical; M”A 167:18; Tur 167; Brachos ibid] Furthermore, even if he gave his animal to drink or, he was only planning to eat a snack, nonetheless it is not considered an interval being that it is for the need of the meal even though it is not for the need of that piece of bread.
