Morphoquantitative description of bovine digital cushion

Abstract: RESUMO.-[Descrição morfoquantitativa do tórus digital de bovinos.] O tórus digital é caracterizado como um tecido subcutâneo modificado que atua na absorção do impacto durante a locomoção, auxilia o retorno venoso do casco e mantêm o suporte de uma considerável parte do peso corporal. Os tórus possuem particular importância nas patogêneses de casco, já que eles precisam trabalhar corretamente para prevenir compressões e traumas nos tecidos moles. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi quantificar e com isso determ… Show more

“…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.…”
