چکیده
The present study was designed to examine the influence of oocyte quality, culture media and gonadotropins on cleavage rate and development of in vitro fertilized buffalo embryos. Three experiments were conducted. In experiment 1, oocytes were classified by number of cumulus cell layers and morphology of the ooplasm as good, fair or poor. Oocytes were cultured for IVM, IVF and IVC in CR1aa medium. In experiment 2, good quality oocytes were cultured for maturation in: (1) CR1aa; (2) CR2aa; (3) TCM-199; (4) MEM or (5) RPMI-1640, and then fertilized using frozen thawed buffalo spermatozoa in CR1aa. The oocytes were cultured in the same medium used for maturation after fertilization. In experiment 3, oocytes were classified into three groups: group (1) was without gonadotropin and serve as a control; group (2) in which IVM medium was supplemented with 10microg/ml FSH and group (3) in which IVM medium was supplemented with 10IUml(-1) eCG. In all experiments, oocytes were kept at 38.5 degrees C under 5% CO(2) for IVM, IVF, IVC and examined for cleavage and embryo development rates on days 3 and 8, respectively. Good and fair quality oocytes produced a higher cleavage rate (P<0.01) than poor quality oocytes. Morula production rate was also higher (P<0.01) for good as compared with fair quality oocytes. Embryo development with poor quality oocytes was arrested at the two to sixteen cell stage. In experiment 2, the cleavage rate was higher (P<0.05) in CR1aa than CR2aa, and higher (P<0.01) than TCM-199, MEM and RPMI-1640. The numbers of morulae and blastocysts were higher (P<0.01) for oocytes cultured in CR1aa and CR2aa media than TCM-199 or MEM. In experiment 3, the addition of FSH or eCG to the maturation medium increased (P<0.01) cleavage and developmental rates of buffalo embryo compared with control medium. In conclusion, the IVM of good quality buffalo oocytes in CR1aa or CR2aa medium and the addition of FSH or eCG in maturation medium produced higher cleavage and developmental rates of IVF buffalo embryos.

Impact of in vitro fertilization by fresh and frozen semen on developmental competence and cryotolerance of buffalo embryos
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...

Background: Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have been shown to influence fertility and endocrinology of reproduction and metabolic activity in many species. In dairy cows, we and others have shown changes in steroid and metabolic hormones and prostaglandins leading to alteration of ovarian activity and uterine function. These can influence fertility by changes in folliculogenesis cyclicity ...

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...

Assisted human reproduction is characterized by a high variability in results regarding pregnancy and birth rates. In fact, in a cohort of fertilized oocytes from the same stimulation cycle, the development rate varies drastically, even though produced at the same time and under similar conditions. This variability results in large differences in implantation potential of human embryos develope...

The aim of this study was to determine the quality of cumulus-oocyte-complexes (COCs) and the effects of bovine serum albumin (BSA) supplementation on in vitro maturation and fertilization rate of buffalo oocytes. COCs were collected from slaughterhouse buffalo ovaries by aspiration method. Only normal grades COCs were matured for 48 hours in TCM-199 media. Two groups were created: one for the ...
