“…Such diversity could probably be related to differences in the digital cushion composition. Animal weight was seen to be negatively correlated with the proportion of connective tissue, and positively correlated with the amount of adipose tissue in the digital cushions of both fore-and hind-limbs (Borges et al, 2015). Fat acoustic impedance is lower than the one of connective tissue, this could explain the digital cushion echogenic difference in animals with different BCS.…”
