Enhancing <i>in vitro</i> oocyte maturation competence and embryo development in farm animals: roles of vitamin-based antioxidants – A review

Abstract Oocyte/embryo in vitro culture is one of the most important assisted reproductive technologies used as a tool for maintaining genetic resources biodiversity and inheritance valuable through generations. The success such processes affects final goal culture, getting viable healthy offspring. In common oocyte maturation and/or embryo development techniques, oocytes/embryos carried out at 5% carbon dioxide roughly 20% atmosphere-borne oxygen ratios cell incubators due to their reduced cost comparison with low atmospheric oxygen-tension incubators. These conditions are usually accompanied by emergence reactive species (ROS), which can extremely damage membrane integrity other vital cellular organelles, well material. present review mainly focuses on antioxidant roles different vitamins competence farm animals. use agents may prevent extreme augmentation ROS generation enhance matured development. Therefore, this aimed provide an updated outline impact vitamin (Vit) supplementations during (IVM) fertilization (IVF) consequent development, various domestic animal species. Thus, enrichment media neutralize production (IVEP) outcomes.
