The dynamics of triad values, general health condition, palpation and ultrasonographic findings on thyroid glands of rams with various form of clinical manifestation of goitre during therapy with potassium iodide (0.5 g/animal/day). Differences at body temperature between treated and untreated animals ranged within physiological boundaries. Breath and heart rates reached statistically insignificantly higher values in experimental rams than in control rams. Increase in the weight of experimental group started to be manifested compared with initial values from 15th day and the highest weight was in these animals at the end of experiment (88.5+/-3.85 kg). Improved intake of the feed in treated animals started to be manifested from day 8 but the improvement of the general health condition and reactions to external stimuli were found on day 21 from the beginning of therapy. The changed palpation finding of thyroid gland (hypertrophy, solid-elastic consistency) during application of potassium iodide was gradually modified and the size of thyroid gland was 2-4 x 1.5-2 cm on day 42 in different experimental animals.
