Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a culture medium for extracorporeal culture of bovine ova excellent in development ratio to dilated blastocysts by external fertilization of bovine follicular ova by using ovine blood serum as a blood serum ingredient of culture media used for bovine external fertilization. CONSTITUTION:Ovine blood serum selected from the group consisting of fetal ovine blood serum, neonatal ovine blood serum, male adult ovine blood serum and female adult ovine blood serum as a blood serum ingredient in an amount within the range of 0.1-20 wt.% is contained in culture media for maturing ova and for developing embryos by external fertilization of bovine ova. A bovine fetal blood serum or neonatal bovine blood serum or both, as desired, are used in combination.

In recent years, in view of the liberalization of beef imports, the practical use of fertilized egg transplantation has been promoted as a technical measure to ensure a stable supply of high-quality fattened beef. However, on the other hand, in vitro fertilization and in vitro culture techniques for bovine eggs are also attracting attention.

Embryo transfer technology involves hormonal treatment of the female cow that supplies the eggs (donor cow) to cause superovulation, and the embryos fertilized in the donor cow's genitals are removed outside the body through uterine perfusion. This is a series of techniques in which a cow is implanted into the reproductive tract of another cow (receiver cow) that has been treated with hormones to synchronize its oestrous cycle, or that has not been treated with hormones to give birth to a calf.

On the other hand, in vitro fertilization involves collecting unripe eggs from the ovaries of live or carcass cows by suction and culturing them in a maturation medium for about 20 hours.Then, when they mature, the frozen semen is thawed and placed in a chalet. Place it inside and inseminate the egg. After fertilization,
This is a technique in which bovine eggs are transferred to a developmental medium and cultured, during which time they undergo division and become blastocysts, which are then transferred to the recipient cow in time for estrus.

The above-mentioned breeding of cattle using fertilized egg transplantation is carried out by five operations: hormone treatment of donor cows, reproductive management of donor cows, embryo collection, retrieval of recovered embryos, and transplantation into recipient cows. Therefore, a donor cow to provide the embryos and a recipient cow to receive the embryos are required, and in addition, the operations of egg retrieval and embryo transfer require skill, and since the work must be done in groups, careful coordination is required. There are problems such as the need for

On the other hand, although in vitro fertilization of cattle has the advantage of not requiring donor cows as mentioned above, there is large variation in the division rate of fertilized eggs, and the rate of development of fertilized eggs into expanded blastocysts is low. There's a problem.

In in vitro fertilization of cows, which is about to be decided, fetal bovine serum is used in -i for the maturation medium for maturing immature eggs and the development medium for culturing fertilized eggs. . However, the present inventor has found that when a maturation medium and a development medium containing sheep serum instead of fetal bovine serum are used, the division rate of embryos obtained by culturing fertilized eggs is improved and the variation is reduced. The present inventors have discovered that the incidence of expanded blastocysts is also higher than in the case of a medium containing fetal bovine serum, leading to the present invention. Therefore, the present invention provides the maturation medium containing sheep serum, which is more suitable for the development of bovine IVF embryos than the fetal bovine serum commonly used in bovine IVF and is useful for fresh production. The objective is to provide a growth medium and a growth medium.

Maturation medium containing 10% by weight of each sheep serum (50) and 10% by weight of fetal bovine serum (Fe2) for comparison, and 2% by weight of each of the above sheep serum and fetal bovine serum. The present invention uses readily available sheep serum as a serum component of the culture medium used for in vitro fertilization, thereby improving the in vitro fertilization of bovine follicles and oocytes compared to the conventionally commonly used culture medium containing fetal bovine serum as a serum component. The in vitro development of embryonic embryos is useful for practical use because the rate of development into expanded blastocysts through fertilization is excellent.
