Abstract

  Follicular cyst is an ovarian dysfunction resulting in reproductive failure in dairy cattle. It is recognized as enlarged anovulatory follicle like structures (< 2.5 cm) and persisting for 10 or more days in dairy cows. Accurate diagnosis of follicular cyst currently employs a combination of transrectal palpation, transrectal ultrasonography and plasma progesterone assay. In field conditions the manual rupture of follicle was generally advocated, yet during the past several years single or combined use of GnRH, progesterone and prostaglandins have been in clinical practice. Other therapies include estrogen receptor blocker clomiphene citrate and trans-vaginal ultrasound guided cystic follicle aspiration. Homeopathic medications for the follicular cyst have also come in trend but success of therapy is governed by many confounding variables such as persistence of the follicles and duration of the pathological condition. The correct choice of treatment and implementation of the preventive measures can help in reducing economic loss caused by the disease to the dairy industries.
