Until recently, there have been many researches about the freezing methods and several methods of cryopreservation. Hypothermic preservation has been used to complement the embryo freezing technology. There is a study to show the successful results for long-term hypothermic preservation. For that reason, FBS and BSA are commonly added to the culture medium to support embryo development. We investigated the effectiveness of hypothermic preservation method at 4℃ according to embryonic developmental stages for Hanwoo embryos and evaluated the effect of FBS and BSA on Hanwoo embryos as a supplemental reagent in hypothermic preservation medium after recovering preserved embryos from hypothermic preservation. The present study reported that survival and hatching rates of embryos at morula stage following storage at 4℃ is Day 7 group was significantly higher (p < 0.05) compared than those of other groups (p < 0.05). As a result, the survival and hatching rates of embryos at the blastocyst stage following storage at 4℃ result is showed that significantly higher (p < 0.05) survival rates than those of other groups an Day 6. The result showed that hatching rate at Day 6 and 7 were significantly lower (p < 0.05) compared with other groups. The result regarding the survival and hatching rates of bovine embryos following storage at 4℃ for 72 h in various concentrations of BSA are shown The results showed that survival rate of 1% BSA group was not significantly different (p < 0.05) compare with control (FBS) group. Also, the results showed that hatching rate of control (FBS) and 1% BSA were significantly different (p < 0.05) compared with other groups. In conclusion, our result demonstrated that the hypothermic preservation did not effect on the survival and hatching rates of embryos after recovering. In addition, the supplementation of BSA in preservation medium showed no difference in the embryo developmental competence after hypothermic preservation compared to FBS treatment. With that, BSA can be an alternative reagent for the hypothermic preservation medium as an energy source and pH buffer.
