Abstract

A crossbred Jersey cow was referred with a history of repeat breeding syndrome.  Routine  gynaeco-clinical  examination  revealed  normal  uterine  tract with palpable cyst-like structures near the right ovary and uterine tube. Trans- rectal ultrasonography confirmed the presence of  large, anechoic, cystic structure adjacent to the right ovary, consistent with an ovarian hydrobursitis coupled with hydrosalpinx. Early and accurate ultrasonographic diagnosis is essential for guiding clinical decision-making, particularly in repeat breeding cases, as timely intervention can significantly enhance reproductive outcomes and declare the fertility potential of valuable breeding animals.
