“…Treatment of luteal cysts with prostaglandin caused marked decreases in cyst size with rough echotexture of the luteinized rim of the cyst within 2-4 days and the formation of new CL within 1 week after treatment [7]. Ohnami et al [119] also monitored the response of ovarian cysts in 9 cows treated with GnRH analogue.…”

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.

“…Ultrasonography has helped tremendously in the diagnosis and differentiating the types of ovarian cysts in cattle [2][3][4][5] and ovarian tumors [1]. The use of ultrasonography in monitoring the response to treatment of ovarian cysts in cattle has also been reported [3,6,7].…”

“…In our study this proportion was much lower; this is probably related to the stage at which the first diagnosis was made and perhaps to the small number of animals used. Irrespective of the treatment protocol used, the curing rate -expressed as the proportion of cows with COD that resumed cyclicity -is expected to be around 80% (McLeod and Williams, 1991;Jeffcoate and Ayliffe, 1995;Kim et al, 2004). Thus, a high proportion of affected cows (around 20%) would have increased days open, and require excessive cost towards treatment and veterinary fees.…”

“…Thus, animals with follicular cysts are commonly treated with a GnRH or hCG, while prostaglandin F 2α (PGF 2α ) is the treatment of choice for luteal cysts (Peter, 2004;Peters, 2005). Accurate classification and diagnosis of the cyst type requires ultrasonographic examination of the cyst along with the assessment of P4 in the peripheral blood; each examination alone frequently leads to ambiguous results (Jeffcoate and Ayliffe, 1995;Dobson et al, 1997;Hanzen et al, 2000). Therefore, a common treatment regime has been suggested for either type of cyst, consisting of two doses of GnRH given 7 days prior to and 48 h after a PGF 2α injection (Bartolome et al, 2000).…”

Despite the variety of hormonal treating regimes used, a proportion of cows with cystic ovarian disease (COD) fail to be cured. The hypothesis of this study was that cyst aspiration would improve the curing rate and/or accelerate the resumption of ovarian activity in affected cows. In four groups of cows the following treatments were administered: Group A (n = 18) only cyst aspiration, Group AGP (n = 19) cyst aspiration and a combination of GnRH and PGF 2α , Group GP (n = 25) only GnRH and PGF 2α , and Group C (n = 15) untreated control. Cysts were aspirated without ultrasonographic guidance, using a new device. All cows from Group AGP responded to treatment, while 5.5% from Group A and 16% from Group GP remained anoestrous (P < 0.05). These refractory cases were re-treated with the AGP protocol and exhibited oestrus within 12.4 ± 1.1 days. The interval from PGF 2α injection to oestrus was significantly reduced in cows treated with cyst aspiration. Until day 80 post partum (pp), 11 of the 15 untreated cows (73.3%) retained the initial cyst and remained anoestrous. It is concluded that persisting cases of COD can be treated by combining aspiration with a hormonal regime. The technique presented here has no complication for the cow, is efficient, easy, safe for the operator, and requires low-cost equipment.

“…Diagnosis is generally made on the basis of behavioral abnormalities, transrectal examination, ultrasonography (USG), and plasma or milk progesterone assays. On ultrasound examination, follicular cysts are seen to have a thin wall (B3 mm) and the follicular fluid is uniformly anechogenic [6]. Different treatment regimens involving gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), hCG, prostaglandin F2a (PGF2a), and progesterone have been evaluated with respect to their efficacy in resolving the condition and reproductive performance posttreatment [7].…”

Post-treatment sequential ultrasound imaging of follicular cyst in a crossbred dairy cow

Several studies in dairy cattle have investigated the final outcome of different treatment regimens in follicular cyst condition. However, sequential monitoring of the response of follicular cysts to these treatments is rather scanty. In this paper, we present the response of a large follicular cyst in a pluriparous crossbred dairy cow with prolonged conception failure to human chorionic gonadotropin, hCG (3,000 IU; day 0) and cloprostenol (500 lg; day 9) treatment. Using transrectal ultrasonography (USG), reproductive tract was imaged daily beginning day 0 until day 11. The follicular cyst showed a consistent regression to a very small anechoic area on day 7 and was undetectable thereafter. Concurrently, there was development of a new dominant follicle that was first detected on day 4 and showed progressive growth to preovulatory stage. The cow was inseminated and ovulation occurred, as diagnosed by the presence of a corpus luteum (CL) 7 days later, but conception did not occur. The animal was re-inseminated after estrus detection in the estrous cycle that immediately followed. Pregnancy diagnosis was performed on 30 and 60 days post-insemination (DPI) and the cow was confirmed to be pregnant. This paper underscores the importance of diagnostic ultrasound in veterinary medicine, especially in the management of reproductive problems.
