 Treatment of Ovarian cyst
was recorded in cattle with ovarian cyst in comparison
to cattle without ovarian cyst (Dekhordi et al., 2015),
however, serum cortisol were not evaluated in dairy
cattle without ovarian cysts in the present study.
Dairy cattle exhibiting normal estrus following
GnRH, Kl, GnRH+Kl or ovsynch treatment were five,
zero, seven and five, respectively. In addition, dairy
cattle that evidenced a luteinized mass on day 7 post-
treatmentwere 70%,0o/o,80o/o and 50%, respectively in
GnRH, Kl, GnRH+Kl and ovsynch group, respectively,
Some authors have reported B0 - 95% success rate
with GnRH alone (Garverick, 1997 and Rudowska et
al., 2015). In the present study, the best treatment
option appeared to be administration of GnRH along
with Kl feeding, thus suggesting some role of Kl in
ovarian cyst treatment. Probably, the feeding of Kl
helped in restoration of normal thyroid activity as the
altered thyroid status was reported in dairy cattle with
ovarian cysts (Mutinati et a\.,2013).
In brief, serum cortisol remained similar during
pre- and post-treatment period in dairy cattle with
ovarian cyst, and GnRH administration along with
potassium iodide feeding was adjudged as the best
treatment option.
