It is forbidden to prevent an animal from eating while it works - especially from the produce it is working with.
One may not muzzle the animal even before starting to work. One may not even yell at it to prevent it from eating.
This is true even if the animal belongs to a non-Jew.
Applies to everybody, everywhere, always.
Verse: "Do not muzzle an ox while it's threshing" (Devarim 25:4)
