This study was conducted to evaluate whether \"Royal jelly\" (RJ) added to Tris-buffer dilute contributed to supporting post-thaw viability and longevity of frozen canine spermatozoa. Two Japanese spitzs (2 to 4 years of age) were used as a semen donor. Semen was collected by manual masturbation and separated into 3 fractions. Only the sperm-rich fraction having sperm motility of more than 70%, containing sperm concentration of 2~410 cells/ml and having dead or abnormal spermatozoa of less than 15% was used for the experiment. Each ejaculated semen was centrifuged at 400 g for 5 min and then diluted in a Tris-buffer supplemented with 20 ml egg yolk (Ext I), 4% glycero1 and 1% Equex STM Paste (Ext II) or g1ycero1, Equex STM paste and RJ of various concentrations (Ext II-RJ). After freezing and thawing, viability of spermatozoa in Ext II -RJ containing 1% RJ immediately after thawing (67.59.6) was significantly lower than that of Ext II , Ext II -RJ containing 0.01 or 0.1% RJ (77.512.5, 78.78.2 and 80.06.3). However, Ext II-RJ containing 0.1% RJ yielded higher viability than Ext II, Ext II-RJ containing 0.01% at or 1% 1 h after thawing (69.58.1 vs. 55.012.9, 57.59.6 and 41.512.6; P<0.05). At 1 h after thawing, the viability of spermatozoa thawed in 7 (68.812.5) was significantly higher than that of spermatozoa thawed in 38 (48.816.3), although there was no difference in the viability between both groups immediately after thawing (77.59.6 and 81.38.1). Post-thaw viability and longevity of post-thaw spermatozoa in Ext II-RJ containing 0.1% RJ was higher in those in Ext II at 1 h (65.012.9 vs. 42.512.6), 2 h (52.512.6 vs. 27.517.1) and 3 h (40.014.1 vs. 20.012.1) after thawing. These results indicated that addition of 0.1% af to Tris-buffer enhanced post-thaw viability and longevity of canine spermatozoa and this additive can be used for increasing the possibility of collision between spermatozoa and ova during insemination.emination.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of biological factors on the in vitro production(IVP) of bovine oocytes for development of simple culture methods and medium. Oocytes from the slaughterhouse ovaries were matured and fertilized using general protocol and this study was examined if there were necessary to co-culture, media change, media type and embryo density. This results were as follows: 1. The development rate according to co-culture with cumulus cells and non co-culture as drop culture was not significantly different in cleavage (68.9 vs 71.7%), 8-cell stage (41.2 vs 44.1%) and blastocyst stage (12.2 vs 13.8%), respectively (p<0.05) 2. The blastocyst development rates in YS and CRIaa were higher than that in TCM199 (12.4, 10.4 vs 3.7%), but the cleavage (69.0, 77.8 and 61.0%) and 8-cell stage (31.7, 37.0 and 35.7%) development accoring to YS, TCM199 and CRIaa ws not significantly different, respectively (p<0.05). 3. There was no significantly different in cleavage (62.6, 59.5 and 61.2%), 8-cell(34.7, 37.9 and 34.0%) and blastocyst (9.5, 11.6 and 12.8%) development among medium change time as control, Group I and Group II, respectively (p<0.05). 4. Blastocyst formation of 8-cell stage according to embryo density was not significantly different in 1, 10 and 25 embryos (27.3, 22.5 and 34.0%), respectively (p<0.05). These results indicated that simple culture system could reduce bovine IVP embryos as drop culture as non co-culture system, high density embryo (25 embryos/50 1 drop). YS defined medium and no medium change for whole culture period, although other biological factors need to examine in order to produce efficient IVP bovine embryos.

This study was conducted to establish the optimal conditions for in vitro embryo production using oocytes derived from follicles of slaughter-house ovaries. The ovaries of Hanwoo were obtained from a local slaughter-house. The oocytes were aspirated from visible follicles of 2~7mm in diameter. The recovered oocytes which were completely surrounded by at least 2 layers of cumulus cells and a homogeneous cytoplasmic pigmentation were used. The selected oocytes were washed 3 or 4 times with D-PBS containing 10% bovine calf serum (BCS) and matured in vitor (IVM) in Ham's F-10 supplemented with 10% BCS or 0.01 /ml epidermal growth factor(EGF) at 39 under 5% CO2 in air for 24 hours. They were fertilizqed in vitro (IVF) with fresh sperm separated by Percoll density gradient or swim-up in TALP media. The zygotes were cultrued with or without bovine oviductal epitherial cells(BOEC) in media(HECM-6 supplemented with 11 amino acid and / or TCM-199 supplemented with 10% BCS) for 7 to 10 days. The results obtained were as follow: The cleavage rate and developmental rate to blastocyst after maturation and IVF were not significantly different between Ham's F-10 with EGF(76.0% vs. 44.0%) and BCS(75.9% vs. 43.6%)(P<0.05). The cleavage rate and development rate to blastocyst after fertilizing by swim-up or Percoll method were not signifciantly(P<0.05) different between swim-up (80.2% vs. 29.2%) and Percoll(81.9% vs. 26.5%) (P<0.05). The cleavage rate in TCM 199(80.5) was signficiantly higher than that in HECM-6 (72.0%) (P<0.05). However, developmental rate to blastocyst using TCM 199 following HECM-6 for 3 or 4 days (42.2%) was significantly higher than that in TCM-199 alone(26.7%)(P<0.05). The cleavage rate and development rate of embryos produced in vitro by exchange timing for HECM-6 media were not significantly different between in day 3(78.6% vs. 45.5%) and day 4(75.0% vs. 43.2%)(P<0.05). The cleavage rate and developmental rate to blastocysts according to co-culture system were not significantly different between with (74.2% vs. 41.4%) and without BOEC(73.95 vs. 43.5%) (P<0.05). The number of blastomere in blastocyst stage after co-culture with or without BOEC was not significantly different (106.75.1 and 96.64.0). In conclusion, the most transferable IVP embryos could be produced from Ham's F-10 medium for IVM, Percoll density gradient method for IVF sperm separation and in vitro culture in HECM-6 until day 3 or day 4, and then transferred into TCM-199 until day 9 within adequate embryo density in culture droplets after insemination.

The objective of this study was to optimize the selection of sperm sources, optimal culture systems and vitrification method depends on sperm sources. The oocytes were inseminated with either KPN 105, 114, 191, SNU 101, 102, 103 or epididymis and then embryos inseminated were cultured in oviductal cell co-culture or HECM-6 as defined me dium. The blastocysts produced were pooled according to sperm sources as KPN, SNU or epididymis and then vitrified by OPP vitrification method. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The cleavage(86.2 or 84.7%) and development rates to blastocyst (30.6 or 32.0%) were not significantly different between oviductal cell co-culture or HECM-6 culture systems(P<0.05). 2. To determine the optimal sperm sources for using IVF in this system, cleavage rates in KPN 191 and SNU 101 (74.2, 55.8%) were significantly lower rather than those in KPN 105, 114, SNU 102, 103 or epididymis (86.7, 85.1, 89.8, 85.5 or 81.2%), but development rates to blastocyst in KPN 114, SNU 103 or epididymis sperm (30.0, 33.0 or 28.6%) were significantly higher rater than those in KPN 105, 191, SNU 101, 102(21.4, 15.4, 14.9 or 25.4%), respectively (P<0.05). 3. The blastocysts produced were pooled according to sperm sources as KPN, SNU or epididymis and then vitrified by OPP vitrification method. The survival rates were not significantly different among sperm sources (89.6%: 43/48 ; 90.1%: 46/51 ; 83.3% : 20/24). These results obtained indicate that the defined medium, HECM-6, could be use to produce of IVP bovine embryos. Since the frozen semen must be required to maintain of unvariation data in IVP embryo production system, KPN 114 and SNU 103 produced in our laboratory were useful for this purpose. The blastocysts produced by different sperm sources as KPN, SNU or epididymis were vitrified by OPP vitrification method and survived very high rates. The OPP vitrification method could be susceptibility to use of IVP bovine blastocyst embryos.
