Cystic Ovarian Disease: A Threat to Dairy Productivity in the UK

Dairy cattle in the United Kingdom face a significant challenge with cystic ovarian disease, a prevalent condition affecting between 5% and 60% of the population. This ailment not only hinders the reproductive capabilities of cows but also poses substantial threats to farm efficiency and profitability. 

The disease leads to a prolonged interval between calving and conception, resulting in decreased milk production and increased culling rates. These factors collectively affect the economic sustainability of dairy farms, emphasizing the need for effective management and treatment strategies. 

Veterinarians and farmers are urged to collaborate closely to mitigate the impacts of this disease through regular health monitoring and appropriate medical interventions. Cystic ovarian disease remains a critical concern for the dairy industry, demanding continued research and attention to ensure the welfare of cattle and the viability of dairy operations.
