A longitudinal study of digital cushion thickness and its function as a predictor for compromised locomotion and hoof lesions in Holstein cows. [PDF]
Transl Anim Sci, 2019 Abstract Lameness is a major animal welfare and economic issue for the dairy industry and is a challenge to overcome due to multifaceted causes. Digital cushion thickness (DCT) is a strong predictor of lameness and is phenotypically associated with incidence of claw horn disruption lesions (CHDL; sole ulcers and white line disease).

Phenotypic characterization and genome-wide association studies of digital cushion thickness in Holstein cows [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2020 The bovine digital cushion is a compression pad between the distal phalanx and sole and has been associated with claw horn disruption lesions. Digital cushion thickness (DCT) is estimated to be moderately heritable. Therefore, the objectives of our study were to examine influences of management and environment on DCT and to identify genetic markers and
