This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of ITS and EGF on embryonic development of in vitro matured and fertilized bovine oocytes in culture medium su, pp.ementing with or without calf serum. When fertilized oocytes were cultured in TCM-199 containing 0, 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0\ulcorner/ml ITS with 5% calf serum, the rates of development to blastocyst stage and the cell number of blastocysts were not significantly different among all treatments. And also monolayer of cumulus/granulosa cells prepared in containing calf serum and ITS were no beneficial effects of embryonic development. On the other hand, when EGF was su, pp.imented to TCM-199 containing calf serum or calf serum free, embryonic development rates(24.0 2.8% to 29.2 1.7% or 8% to 9%) and cell number of blastocysts(p<0.05) were significantly increased compared with EGF-free(22.1 2.1 or 1.0%, p<0.05). But when fertilized oocytes were cultured with cumulus/granurosa cells in TCM-199 containing EGF and calf serum, the rate of embryos development to the blastocyst stage and cell number of blastocysts were not significantly different compared with EGF-free and any concentrations. These results showed that ITS and EGF was not improved the development of bovine embryo in vitro matured and in vitro fertilized with calf serum and/or monolayer of cumulus/granulosa cells.
