The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of various co-culture systems and supplemented protein sources on the in vitro development of bovine IVF embryos. Bovine cumulus oocyte complexes (COCs) were matured and fertilized in vitro. Presumptive zygotes with cumulus cells were transferred to TCM-199 or CRlaa containing 10% FBS or 3mg/mell BSA, and cultured for 36~40 hr. After primary culture, cleaved embryos were co-cultured with cumulus cells(CC), bovine oviduct epithelial cells(BOEC) or Buffalo rat liver cells (BRLC) in TCM-199 or CRlaa supplemented with FBS or BSA respectively, for further 6 days. Cleavage rate increased with BSA(P＜0.01) in the both TCM-199(79%) or CRlaa(74%) When embryos were co-cultured with CC or BOEC in TCM-199, blastocyst development was enhanced with BSA(40% and 43%) compared to FBS (22% and 29%) , whereas in CRlaa no difference observed between BSA(40% and 39%) and FBS (40% and 42%). When embryos were co-cultured with BRLC monolayer, FBS enhanced the blastocyst development (P＜0.05) compared to BSA in both TCM-199(41% vs 31%) and CRlaa (44% vs 37%). The result of the present study showed that the cleavage rate of bovine IVF embryos increased with BSA, The result also showed that BSA can enhance the development of IVF embryos in co-culture with CC or BOEC in TCM-199, suggesting the in vitro development is affected by the medium and supplemented protein sources in co-culture with somatic cells.
