Summary: Abstract: The hydrometra is an important cause of infertility in dairy goats. By the use of ultrasound (US), diagnosis of hydrometra became more evident and it was possible to detect the relatively high occurrence of concomitant follicular cysts. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate uterine drainage and fertility rate after the use of d-cloprostenol treatment associated or not to GnRH. The study was performed during the breeding season of 2015 in Minas Gerais, Brazil. again. The use of three doses of d-cloprostenol 10 days apart was efficient for draining the contents of the uterus resulting in a relative good pregnancy rate whilst GnRH promoted no extra benefits.
