ABSTRACT
tThis study aimed to compare the accuracy of two diagnostic methods, rectal palpation and transrectalultrasound of the ovaries, and assess the reliability of the diagnosis by palpation method. A total of sixteen (16)dairy farm cows underwent ultrasonographic examinations performed soon after rectal palpation. The accuracyof palpation may seem low, but when we analyze the data, we observed that the main structures diagnosed byultrasound were almost always diagnosed by palpation. Ultrasonography, however, has its strong point in theidentification of complex structures such as hemorrhagic body and follicular cysts. We conclude that ultrasoundas well as rectal palpation can be used as a diagnostic tool, although ultrasound provides good visualization ofovarian structures, allowing their measurement.
