Abstract

Cystic ovarian disease (COD) was studied in Rathi cows. The overall
incidence of COD in rural and urban areas was 2.12 and 0.87%, respectively.
Cysts were usually singie, smaller in size and located mostly on the right ovary
(56.03%) with nymphomania as the predominant clinical sign. Biochemical estimations
in serum revealed significantly higher values of chloride and significantly lower
values of inorganic phosphorus (P<0.05) in cystic cows compared to normal cows.
Enucleation was the principal treatment of COD (56.41%) in rural cows, whereas,
GnRH (41.17%) was the major tre~!mentÂ·in urban cows. A good number of untreated
cows with COD (27.17%) also become pregnant without any treatment.
