- Abstract
According to the International Embryo Technology Society, the number of bovine embryos produced by in vitro fertilization technology is increasing every year. However, despite the large volumes of their production, the effectiveness of this method is still low and needs to be improved. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness of two commercial media -- Origio Sequential Series (Origio, Denmark) and a panel of products manufactured by Minitube (Germany) in terms of oocyte maturation and development of bovine embryos in vitro. At the first stage of the study, a comparative evaluation of oocyte maturation media was performed: based on TCM 199 (Minitube) and Universal (Origio) culture media. At the second stage, the protocols for culturing bovine embryos were compared: Minitube and the two-stage Origio culture protocol with changing media. Therewith, it was found that the use of TCM 199 medium for oocyte maturation is more effective compared to Universal. Thus, at 48 hours of cultivation (the initial stage of embryo development), 64.3 ± 1.0 and 60.3 ± 1.4% of 2-8 cell embryos were obtained, and on Day 8 -- 25.3 ± 1.0 and 20.0 ± 0.6% of blastocysts, respectively. The results of a comparison of bovine embryo culture protocols showed that when using both Minitube and Origio media, the percentage of division and the percentage of resulting embryos corresponded to their known values. It was found that the Minitube cultivation protocol is more effective than Origio. At 48 hours, the number of embryos obtained using the Minitube culture protocol was 1.3% higher compared to Origio, on Day 6 -- by 7.8%, and on Day 8 -- by 3.8%. The results obtained are a necessary component of the development of successful processes to produce bovine embryos in vitro with further implementation in the ruminant reproduction biotechnology
