Abstract
A single intramuscular injection of 200 mu g GnRH-A induced rupture of persistent follicles in nine cows within one or two days. On four occ asions the luteal tissue that developed at the site of rupture was not identified by rectal palpation but in each case transrectal ultrasono graphy revealed the doughnut image of a cystic corpus luteum and hormo ne assay revealed that it was actively secreting normal quantities of progesterone.
