Commentaire sur Zevahim 3:5
הַשּׁוֹחֵט אֶת הַמֻּקְדָּשִׁין לֶאֱכֹל שָׁלִיל אוֹ שִׁלְיָא בַחוּץ, לֹא פִגֵּל. הַמּוֹלֵק תּוֹרִין בִּפְנִים לֶאֱכֹל בֵּיצֵיהֶם בַּחוּץ, לֹא פִגֵּל. חֲלֵב הַמֻּקְדָּשִׁין וּבֵיצֵי תוֹרִין, אֵין חַיָּבִין עֲלֵיהֶן מִשּׁוּם פִּגּוּל וְנוֹתָר וְטָמֵא:
Celui qui abat un animal consacré pour manger [son] foetus ou [son] placenta à l'extérieur [de la cour du Temple], ne le rend pas Piggul . Celui qui transperce [une forme d'abattage d'oiseaux] des tourterelles à l'intérieur [de la cour du Temple] pour manger ses œufs à l'extérieur [de sa place] n'engage pas Piggul pour cela. Le lait d'animaux consacrés et les œufs de tourterelles ne rendent pas responsable de Piggul , ni de Notar , ni de l'avoir rendu impur.

Bartenura on Mishnah Zevachim
שליל (embryo) – that is in her womb

English Explanation of Mishnah Zevachim
If one slaughters sacred animals [intending] to eat the fetus or the afterbirth outside [of the place or time where the animal must be eaten], he does not render it piggul. The fetus and the afterbirth are not considered integral parts of the sacrificial animal. Therefore, if one slaughters an animal with an improper intention concerning eating its fetus or afterbirth the sacrifice is not rendered invalid.

Bartenura on Mishnah Zevachim
שליא (after-birth, placenta) – the skin that covers the fetus, this intention does not invalidate the sacrifice. For the embryo and the placenta are not the body of the sacrifice [in the strictest sense] (see Tractate Temurah 31b).

English Explanation of Mishnah Zevachim
If one plucks off [the necks of] doves, [intending] to eat their eggs outside [of the place or time where the animal must be eaten], he does not render [them] piggul. Birds are slaughtered by having their heads plucked off. We will learn about this more later. Our mishnah teaches that if one has an improper intention concerning eating the eggs, this does not render the sacrifice invalid. The eggs are not part of the bird.

Bartenura on Mishnah Zevachim
לא פיגל – this is what he said: A person who slaughters the [female] consecrated animal to eat the fetus or the placenta outside of its [appropriate] place, did not make it invalid. And if he intended to eat from them outside of its [appropriate] time, did not make a sacrifice rejectable through improper mental disposal (see Leviticus 19:7).

English Explanation of Mishnah Zevachim
The milk of sacred animals or the eggs of doves one is not liable for eating them in respect of piggul, remnant, or uncleanness. The milk of a mammal and the eggs of a bird are not considered part of the animal in respect of sacrificial laws. Therefore, the laws of piggul, remnant and uncleanness do not apply to them see yesterday’s mishnah for a discussion of these three laws.

Bartenura on Mishnah Zevachim
חלב המוקדשין וביצי תורין אין חייבין עליהן משום פיגול – if he had an inappropriate intention with a sacrifice and consumed from the milk that was in its breasts, he is not liable for it because of an inappropriate intention, for it is not the main part of the sacrifice.
