The objectives of this study were to more thoroughly evaluate the presence of ovarian follicular dysplasia (OFD) in Florida herds, assess characteristics of OFD positive cattle through ultrasound examination, endocrine profiles, and RNA analysis in order to develop an ante-mortem test for reliable identification of OFD in cattle. The RNA sequencing and gene analysis was performed by Hudson-Alpha Institute for Biotechnology. Four hundred and fifty cull cows selected by private veterinarians representing five Florida ranches received reproductive tract palpation, ultrasound examination and blood collection. Based on the ultrasound findings, 66 total cows (10-16 per ranch) were followed to slaughter the following day for collection of reproductive tracts, and ovarian sampling. Five non-OFD and five OFD were selected for RNA sequencing ...
