“…Sprecher et al [66] obtained a correlation coefficient of 0.68 between milk progesterone measured by radioimmunoassay and luteal diameter measured by ultrasonography. Song-Chang et al [67] also reported a significant correlation between CL size (as determined by ultrasonography) and milk progesterone concentration in 16 dairy cows.…”

Abstract. The advent of ultrasonography over a decade ago has contributed tremendously in the field of bovine reproduction. Ultrasound imaging has shown that cattle exhibit 2 or 3 waves of follicular development during an estrous cycle. Ultrasonography allows monitoring of individual follicles as they grow and/or regress over time and patterns of follicular development can thus be determined with relative precision. Other important applications of ultrasonography in bovine reproduction includes; pregnancy diagnosis, fetal sex determination, folliculocenteses, diagnosis of abnormalities of the reproductive organs, monitoring of treatment of ovarian cysts, monitoring of postpartum genital resumption, ultrasound-guided centesis and male genital ultrasonography. Recent applications of ultrasonography in bovine reproduction includes doppler ultrasonography for genital blood flow and mammary ultrasonography. The use of ultrasonography is indispensable in most studies in which morphology (structure) and function are correlated. In this paper, the literature pertaining to the use of ultrasonography in bovine reproduction is reviewed. The applications and limitations of ultrasonography are highlighted. The non-invasive nature of ultrasonography makes it an excellent clinical and research tool in bovine reproduction.

“…Ovarian cysts are defined as follicle-like structures of diameter greater than 25 mm persisting for at least 7-10 days in the absence of a corpus luteum (Garverick 1997). The incidence of COD in dairy herds has been reported to vary from 5 to 30% (Eyestone and Ax 1984;Nakao et al 1985;Sprecher et al 1988;Ashmawy et al 1992;Garverick 1997).…”

The aim of this study was to determine possible links between steroidogenic activity of single ovarian cysts and response to intramuscular treatment with 20 microg of buserelin (GnRH-analogue) after cyst emptying, in pluriparous Friesian cows bearing a singleton cyst treated not earlier than 55 days post-partum. Progesterone, 17beta-estradiol and testosterone were determined in cystic fluids collected by needle aspiration of the cyst. Of the cows, 75.6% began ovarian cyclicity within 30 days after treatment with a conception rate of 64.7%. In this study it was found that as progesterone concentration in cystic fluids rose, the number of positive responses to the treatment fell.

“…It has been known that estradiol given with PRID has both a luteolytic role as well as a key role in synchronizing follicular waves [13,14]. Until recently, some reports have shown that it is difficult to discriminate between ovarian cyst and cystic corpus luteum (CCL) by rectal palpation [13,15,16]. The accuracy of the diagnosis of FC and luteal cyst (LC) by palpation via rectum has been reported to be 58 to 68% [9,17].…”

“…The accuracy of the diagnosis of FC and luteal cyst (LC) by palpation via rectum has been reported to be 58 to 68% [9,17]. LC and CCL have a thicker cystic wall and are usually associated with higher peripheral concentrations of progesterone compared with FC [16,18]. Therefore, PRID might be used in cows with LC or CCL in the clinical field, when the primary diagnosis of ovarian function was based on by rectal palpation.…”

Abstract. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of a progesterone-releasing intravaginal device (PRID) containing an estradiol benzoate capsule on ovarian dysfunction, including ovarian quiescence, follicular cyst (FC) and luteal cyst or cystic corpus luteum (LC/CCL), in postpartum dairy cows. These ovarian dysfunctions were examined by palpation per rectum relative to plasma progesterone status. The results of clinical examination and hormone assay determined ovarian quiescence in 13 cows, FC in 15 cows and LC/CCL in 7 cows. These cows were treated with PRID for 12 d and then clinical examination was performed. After PRID removal, the proportion of cows exhibiting estrous signs within 7 d and confirmed formation of CL within 7-14 d (markedly effective) were 69.2 % (n=9) for ovarian quiescence, 46.7 % (n=7) for FC, and 28.6 % (2 cows) for LC/ CCL. Two cows (15.4 %) in ovarian quiescence, 5 cows (33.3%) with FC and 4 cows (57.1 %) with LC/ CCL did not exhibit estrous signs but were recognized as having formed CL within 12-16 d after removal of PRID (effective). These results suggest that treatments of PRID with estradiol benzoate for 12 d have therapeutic efficacy on ovarian dysfunction including ovarian quiescence, FC and LC/CCL in postpartum dairy cows. Key words: PRID, Ovarian quiescence, Follicular cyst, Luteal cyst or cystic corpus luteum, Dairy cow (J. Reprod. Dev. 50: [341][342][343][344][345][346][347][348] 2004) varian quiescence and ovarian cyst occur frequently during the postpartum period in dairy cows, and are serious types of ovarian dysfunction causing infertility and delay of rebreeding, resulting in economic loss to farmers [1,2]. Ovarian quiescence is confirmed by the absence of functional ovulatory follicles and luteal tissues, and blood progesterone concentrations below 1 ng/ml in the postpartum period. This condition is a ty p e o f a n e s t r u s t h a t o c c u r s d u r i n g th e postpartum period and is affected by various factors such as the season, nutrition, suckling conditions and breed [2,3]. Ovarian cysts are characterized by the persistent existence of enlarged anovulatory follicles in postpartum dairy cows. The clinical diagnosis of ovarian cyst is based on the reproductive case history, palpation via rectum of a smooth, fluid-filled structure greater than 25 mm in diameter persisting for 10 days or more, and absence of CL on the surface of the ovary [4][5][6].Some previous studies have suggested that
