چکیده
This study evaluated the effect of melatonin supplementation of in vitro maturation media on in vitro maturation (IVM) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) rate of buffalo oocytes. Cumulus oocytes complexes (COCs) were aspirated from follicles of 2-8 mm diameter. In experiment I, COCs were matured in IVM medium supplemented with 0 (control), 250, 500, and 1000 μM melatonin for 22-24 hours in CO2 incubator at 38.5°C with 5% CO2 and at 95% relative humidity. The maturation rate did not differ in media supplemented with melatonin at 250 μM, 500 μM, 1000 μM and control (0 μM). In experiment II, the matured oocytes were fertilized in 50 μl droplets of Tyrode's Albumin Lactate Pyruvate (TALP) medium having 10 ug/ml heparin for sperm (2 million/ml) capacitation. The fertilization droplets were then kept for incubation at 5% CO2, 39°C and at 95% relative humidity for 18 hours. The fertilization rate was assessed by sperm penetration and pronuclear formation. Fertilization rate was improved when maturation medium was supplemented with 250 μM melatonin compared to control. In conclusion, melatonin supplementation to serum free maturation media at 250 μM improved the fertilization rate of buffalo oocytes.

P-87: Effects of Bovine Cumulus Cell Co-Cul tire on Post Fertilization Development of Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) Oocyte
Background: There is a considerable numbers of buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) in Iran which have an important role in rural life. The reproductive performance of buffalo is lower than cow. Co-culture with somatice cells improved the maturation rate of most of the species. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of bovine cumulus co-culture on post fertilization development of buffalo...

Ovaries from sexually mature buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) were collected irrespective of age, INCIDENCE OF PARTHENOGENETIC DEVELOPMENT OF BUFFALO (BUBALUS BUBALIS) OOCYTES
The incidence of parthenogenetic development of oocytes in routine IVF practices i.e. without any chemical stimuli, was assessed. After 24 h of maturation while washing and transferring to fertilization medium nine (1.39%) oocytes out of 646 oocytes were found cleaved. All those parthenotes (cleaved oocytes) were transferred to embryo culture medium instead of fertilization medium for observing...
