본 연구에서는 유전적 가치가 높은 가축을 OPU 기술을 이용하여 단기간에 반복적이고 연속적으로 생체 내 난포란을 채란하여 수정란을 생산할 수 있는 가능성을 연구한 것으로써, 수정란의 안정적인 생산 및 이식으로 가축 개량의 세대 간격을 단축하기 위해 우수한 유전력을 가진 염선된 개체의 임신 초기 3개월 동안에 반복적인 수정란 생산 가능 여부를 조사하였다. 1. 비임신우 및 임신 초기우에 2회/주 채란으로 비인신우에서는 68회 채란으로 생성된 난포수는 72
This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of early pregnant cow as donor for Ovum Pick-Up (OPU) derived oocyte aspiration and embryo production in Holstein heifers. Four non-pregnant and 2 pregnant Holstein heifers were used as donor and then carried out total 17 OPU session for 10 weeks (2 times per week). Recovered cumulus-oocyte-complexes (COCs) were classified into 4 grade by oocyte cytoplasm and cumulus cells and matured in vitro in TCM-199 supplemented with 10% FBS, 10 mg/ml FSH and 1 mg/ml estradiol in 5% and over 99% humidity for 24 h. After 24 h co-incubation with post-thaw sperm, the presumed zygotes were cultured in CR1aa medium with 4 mg/ml BSA for 3 days and then changed CR1aa medium with 10% of FBS for another 3~4 days. The Mean number of aspirated follicles and collected oocytes in the early stage pregnant and non-pregnant heifers were and , and per session, respectively. Rate of collected oocyte from aspirated follicles were 59.2% and 50.5%, respectively. The average number of good quality oocytes (Grade I and II) in the early stage pregnant and non-pregnant heifers was and (MeanSD). Cleavage and blastocyst developmental rates in Grade I and II were 22.2% and 25.5%, and then and blastocyst per session, respectively. In conclusion, OPU technology can be used in early stage pregnant and non-pregnant heifers without any problem and so applied OPU derived embryo production to maximize the ability of genetically valuable females.
