IN VITRO PRODUCTION OF BUFFALO (Bubalus bubalis) EMBRYOS

چکیده
Two experiments (Exp) were carried out to test the effect of different media on in vitro maturation (IVM) (Exp 1; n = 1142 ovaries with 2666 oocytes) and to study in vitro fertilization (IVF) of buffalo oocytes (Exp 2; n = 110 ovaries with 330 oocytes). In exp 1 the collected cumulus oocyte complex (COCs) was allocated to three maturational media; TCM-199 supplemented with hormones (M1), TCM-199 supplemented with epidermal growth factor (M2) and m-SOF (M3) overlaid with paraffin oil before incubating under 5 % CO2 in air at 38.5 C. A part of COCs was fixed to determine the stages of nuclear maturation after 24 hr. In exp 2 the matured oocytes were allotted with sperm suspension before incubating under 5 % CO2 in air at 38.5 C, for 22-24 hr. Presumptive embryos were placed, individually in 96 wells petri dish to determine at 12 hr intervals the kinetics of cleavage up to blastocyst stage. Average of collected COCs per ovary was 2.4 with 86 % of excellent and good graded COC’s. M1 and M2 showed higher (P<0.05) maturation rate vs. M3. After culturing oocyte diameter and perivitalline space increased (P<0.05) relative to preculture diameters, while diameter of ooplasm and thickness of zona pellucida non significantly decreased . Fertilized ova and cleaved embryos (%) were 80.2 and 77.8 %, respectively. Early embryonic cleavage up to 32 cell stage lapsed took 84 hr, while corresponding periods to reach morula, and blastocyst stage were 101 and 134.5 hr, respectively. Out of the fertilized ova 31.5 % reached excellent and good graded blastocyst stage.

In vitro production of cattle-water buffalo (Bos taurus--Bubalus bubalis) hybrid embryos.
Interspecific hybrid embryos are useful models for the study of maternal-fetal interactions, transmission pattern of species-specific markers and parental contributions to growth and developmental potential of pre-attachment embryos. In an attempt to investigate the possibility of producing hybrid embryos of domestic cattle (Bos taurus) and water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis), cattle oocytes were e...

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...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of capacitating agents added at in vitro fertilization (IVF) and antioxidants supplemented during in vitro culture (IVC) on the development of buffalo embryos. In experiment I, in vitro embryo development of buffalo embryos was compared when the IVF medium was supplemented with heparin, caffeine and calcium ionophore A23187 either alone or in ...

Trichostatin A (TSA), a histone deacetylase inhibitor, has been widely used to improve the cloning efficiency in several species. This brings our attention to investigation of the effects of TSA on developmental potential of swamp buffalo cloned embryos. Swamp buffalo cloned embryos were produced by electrical pulse fusion of male swamp buffalo fibroblasts with swamp buffalo enucleated oocytes....

Assisted reproductive technologies such as artificial insemination (AI) and multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET) have been introduced to overcome reproductive inefficiencies and accelerate genetic gain. However, MOET in water buffalo is compromised by the poor ovulatory response of this animal species to hormonal treatment (Karaivanov 1986; Karaivanov et al. 1990; Misra et al. 1990; Cr...
