The bovine digital cushion – a descriptive anatomical study
Veterinary Journal, 2004The properties of the suspensory and supporting structures of the bovine claw are of particular importance in the pathogenesis of claw lesions since both must function optimally to prevent soft tissue compression and trauma. An essential component is the shock-absorbing digital cushion situated under the distal phalanx.

Short communication: Genetic characterization of digital cushion thickness [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2014 Dairy cow lameness is a serious animal welfare issue. It is also a significant cause of economic losses, reducing reproductive efficiency and milk production and increasing culling rates. The digital cushion is a complex structure composed mostly of adipose tissue located underneath the distal phalanx and has recently been phenotypically associated ...

A prospective cohort study of digital cushion and corium thickness. Part 2: Does thinning of the digital cushion and corium lead to lameness and claw horn disruption lesions? [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2017 The aim of this study was to determine whether a decrease in thickness of the sole soft tissues (SST) beneath the flexor tuberosity of the distal phalanx (i.e., the digital cushion and corium) predisposed a claw to develop claw horn disruption lesions (CHDL) or a leg to lameness.

Association of digital cushion thickness with sole temperature measured with the use of infrared thermography [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2014 The main objective of this study was to investigate the association between digital cushion thickness and sole temperature measured by infrared thermography. Data were collected from 216 lactating Holstein cows at 4 to 10d in milk (DIM). Cows were locomotion scored and sole temperature was measured after claw trimming (a minimum delay of 3 min was ...

A Preliminary Study Examining the Digital Cushion in Horses
Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, 2017Abstract The digital cushion is important for the dissipation of impact as the foot contacts the ground. If there is inefficient energy dissipation, potential exists for changes to occur in the foot. Although ultrasonic imaging of the digital cushion has been reported, it is unknown if these measurements account for compositional changes that have ...

Exploring physiological and genetic variation of digital cushion thickness in Holstein and Jersey cows and bulls [PDF]
Journal of Dairy Science, 2020 The objectives of our study were to expand phenotypic characterization of digital cushion thickness (DCT) to the Jersey breed and include mature bulls and to identify breed-specific quantitative trait loci (QTL) for DCT within the Jersey or Holstein breeds and common QTL across breeds and sexes to better understand biological regulation and guide ...

A bovine model for equine digital cushion development
Journal of Equine Veterinary Science, 2013Material and Methods: Twenty dairy bull calves were randomly assigned to two groups, treated and control. The control group was reared in calf hutches and then in grass lots following weaning. The treated calves were housed in calf hutches until weaning and then walked for a total of at least two miles a day for four months on rocky terrain.

The pads of the bovine digital cushion, which serves as a shock absorber, have specific anatomical structures to cope with the substantial forces acting within the claw. To gain more information on the lipid composition and content of the pads, horn shoes from 12 slaughtered heifers and cows were removed and different samples of the pads excised with a

Measurements of a Novel Digital Hydraulic Valve Comprising a Cushioning Feature
Journal of Dynamic Systems, Measurement, and Control, 2019Abstract This article presents simulation data and measurements of a novel valve concept that features a soft landing concept. The purpose is to validate the design framework that has been applied to design the valve. The experimental results are obtained with a test rig manufactured specifically for this type of valve design.
