coronary cushion

Definition

The prominence above the dorsal edge of the hoof capsule which is created by a ridge of subcutaneous tissue with a good blood supply and the coronary and perioplic corium. The more prominent the coronary cushion, the thicker the horn of the hoof wall that grows down from it.

Translations :

pulvinus coronaire , m

Renflement très net en région des chorions coronal et limbique : le tissu sous-cutané s'est développé pour former le coussinet coronaire. Plus le renflement est marqué, plus la paroi qui y est produite est épaisse.

Kronwulst , m

Deutliche Vorwölbung im Bereich von Saum- und Kronsegment, welche durch ein stark ausgeprägtes Unterhautgewebe (subcutis)  zustande kommt. Je stärker der Kronwulst ausgebildet ist, desto kräftiger ist die Hornwand, welche von ihm herunterwächst.
