Popis: Ovarian cysts are among the primary causes for poor reproduction efficiency and economic losses in dairy cattle farming. Material and metods: The studies were performed in 2015-2017 in three dairy cattle farms.In the experiment, 79 cows with follicular ovarian cysts were divided randomly into 3 groups. To the first group (n=33), a standard double Ovsynch was applied with 0.01 mg GnRH (Veterelin, Laboratorios Calier, Spain) on day 0, 150 µg PGF2α (D – Cloprosstenolsodium, Indupart, Vetpharma Animal Health, Spain) on day 7, 0.01 mg GnRH (Veterelin, Laboratorios Calier, Spain) on day 10, and after 7 days, Ovsynch (GnRH-PGF-GnRH). The cows from the second group (n=28) were submitted to double Ovsynch and additional progesterone treatment through placement of Controlled Internal Drug Release device (EAZI BREED CIDR Cattle insert, 1.38 g progesterone; Pfizer Animal Health, USA) for 7 days between the first GnRH at day 0 and prostaglandin on day 7. The control group comprised 18 untreated cows. Results: First-service conception rate in cows treated by double Ovsynch and vaginal inserts was higher 28.6% compared to that in standard double Ovsynch: 24.2%. Cumulative pregnancy percentage after applied treatments was 60.7% in double Ovsynch plus progesterone and 54.5% in standard double Ovsynch.
