Abstract

This study was conducted to investigate whether various protein sources and co-culture affect in vitro development of porcine zygotes derived from In vitro maturation/fertilization (IVM/IVF). These results obtained in these experiments are summarized as follows 1. When porcine oocytes matured and fertilized In vitro were cultured in NCSU 23 medium supplemented with various BSA concentrations (0.4, 0.8 and 3.2%), In vitro developmental rates of porcine zygotes to blastocyst stage were 22.9, 18.4 and 14.6%, respectively. High concentration of BSA (3.2%) showed a smaller nuclei number (36.1pm11.8) of blastocysts than 0.4 and 0.8% BSA groups (53.2pm27.4 and 61.2pm22.5, respectively) (P<0.05). This result indicates that high concentration of BSA is detrimental on preimplantation development of IVF-derived porcine embryos. 2. No differences were detected in the developmental rate and mean nuclei number of porcine embryos between 10 and 20% FBS concentrations in culture medium. 3. IVF-derived porcine embryos co-cultured with mouse or porcine embryonic fibroblast cells showed a lower development to the blastocyst stage than those without co-culture system. Consequently, the present study suggests that high concentration of BSA as a protein source in culture medium suppresses development potential of porcine embryos produced In vitro. In addition, co-culture with somatic cells is not effective on in vitro development of IVF-derived porcine embryos to blastocyst stage
