DIAGNÓSTICO E TRATAMENTO DE CISTO FOLICULAR EM VACAS NELORES – RELATO DE CASO

Abstract

In recent years the follicular ovarian cyst, also known as cystic ovarian disease, has been diagnosed and treated, with numerous protocols on the market, thus avoiding the disposal of several animals affected by this pathology. Follicular cysts can be single or multiple, from 24 mm in diameter and affect one or both ovaries, it is a reproductive alteration that directly interferes in the reproductive cycle of bovine females, reducing the reproductive efficiency of the herd. The appearance of the ovarian follicular cyst is most often related to a poor regulation in the distribution and release of gonadotropic hormones. The diagnosis of this reproductive disorder is usually made by rectal palpation in conjunction with ultrasound examination. The treatment can be carried out through the most varied types of hormonal protocols. The objective of this study was to report the diagnosis and treatment with the ovsynch hormonal protocol. For that, it was used the methodology of bibliographic research and case study of two Nelore bovine females affected with cystic ovarian disease.
