Factors influencing in vitro embryo production
نویسندگان
چکیده
In vitro embryo production (IVP) is currently one of the most important biotechnologies in cattle breeding and husbandry. However, the efficiency of in vitro embryo production is still low with only 30-40% of oocytes developing into blastocysts, probably because, the in vitro environment cannot mimic in vivo environment and results in embryos that have altered morphology and gene expression. Several factors can influence the IVP efficiency and contribute to the existing differences between in vivo and in vitro produced embryos. There is also evidence showing that IVP can cause some disorders during gestation and in offspring. The aim of this review is to give a brief overview of some factors that influence in vitro embryo development in cattle.

Background The aim of this study was to establish a cell-free sequential culture system that can support high levels of in vitro embryo development and blastocyst formation from bovine zygotes. To this end, this investigation was carried out to evaluate the effects of glucose, serum and EDTA on bovine zygote in vitro development. MaterialsAndMethods Bovine presumptive zygotes were derived from ...

Production of high quality embryos in vitro needs an efficient in vitro fertilization (IVF). Seminal origin is one of the important factors that affects the success of in vitro embryo production. So our goal was to determine the effect of using fresh and frozen semen in fertilization on developmental competence and cryo-survival of buffalo embryos. Buffalo oocytes wer...
متن کاملStudy of TALP and TRIS citrate medium on caprine sperm capacitation and subsequent in vitro embryo production
The aim of the present investigation was to compare Tyrode’s albumin lactate pyruvate (TALP) medium and TRIS citrate medium for capacitation of caprine sperm. In experiment 1 capacitation was assessed by chlortetracycline assay and in experiment 2 with in vitro fertilization and embryo development. In experiment 2, cumulus oocyte complexes (COCs) recovered by slicing the caprine ovaries were ma...
متن کاملEmbryo Culture Challenge: Microbial Contamination
The success rate of embryo production critically depends on several factors. One of the pivotal factors is a technique used for the whole procedure of in vitro fertilization (IVF) and in vitro embryo culture (IVC) (1, 2). Besides the technique selected for IVF / in vitro embryo production (IVEP), there is an important consideration called IVF/IVEP culture dishes disin...
