The aims of the current study were to illustrate figures for the characteristics of oestrous cycles especially on follicular dynamics, corpus luteum and changes in progesterone and prostaglandin F2alpha, in the Holstein cross-bred dairy heifers. Twenty six healthy and sexual-mature virgin heifers were monitored for signs of oestrus. Their ovaries were sonically examined and the numbers and the sizes of the follicles as well as of the corpus luteum were documented. In our study, no difference in ratio of the 2-wave and 3-wave patterned cycle was evident. Seasons' change did not affect on characteristics oestrous cycles as well as on dynamics of follicles and corpus luteum. The heifers showed high variation in manifesting oestrus especially on a number of hours. The 'bodily' oestrous signs lasted longer than did 'behavioural' signs and connection of lowering of the back to standing oestrus was established. Certain diversities comparing to of existed dairy breeds were drawn for follicular dynamics, corpus luteum and its progesterone: 1) the 1st an-ovulatory dominant follicles showed higher growth rate and earlier exceeded dominant diameter; 2) the follicle tended to quicker ovulate but with a smaller diameter at ovulation; 3) the corpus luteum exhibited 4-16.5 mm in diameter of central cavity. Connecting to the levels of progesterone, 4) the corpus luteum turned into active, as well as mid-luteal, period quite late, and 5) the duration of the active period of the corpus luteum was shorter, but 6) at the end of the cycle -around the day of oestrus, progesterone remained certain low but significant levels. In conclusion, the Holstein cross-bred dairy heifers in our study faced a problem of delayed post-ovulatory progesterone rise of which underlying causes are needed to be further scrutinised either at endocrine or at cell levels.
