Abstract:Eighteen cows with ovarian cysts were administered 100 mug of GnRH and bled prior to treatment, at half hour intervals for 4 hours posttreatment and on days 1, 5 and 9 posttreatment. Blood plasma was analyzed for estradiol-17beta, progesterone and LH by radioimmunoassay. Response to treatment was recorded as positive if ovulation was detected within 30 days posttreatment. Fourteen cows (78%) initiated ovarian cycles by 30 days posttreatment. Mean pretreatment concentrations of estradiol-17beta, progesterone and LH and the GnRH induced LH release were not different for positive or no response cows. However, all seven cows that had pretreatment progesterone concentrations greater than 1.0 ng/ml had a positive response to treatment. Eight of the remaining eleven cows had a progesterone response (mean progesterone concentrations on days 5 and 9 posttreatment) greater than 1.0 ng/ml; seven had a positive response to treatment. In summary, most cows with ovarian cysts administered GnRH will initiate ovarian cycles within 30 days if: 1) pretreatment progesterone concentrations are greater than 1.0 ng/ml or 2) if progesterone response is greater than 1.0 ng/ml.
