The present study was carried out to investigate in vitro development and post-thawed survivability of bovine embryos according to different ovary transport temperatures. Bovine ovaries were collected at a local slaughterhouse and were transported at 4 different temperature categories to laboratory: $7{\sim}10^{\circ}C\;(T1),\;11{\sim}17^{\circ}C\;(T2),\;18{\sim}25^{\circ}C\;(T3)$ and above $26^{\circ}C$ (control group). The cumulus-oocyte-complexes aspirated from ovaries were in vitro matured, fertilized and cultured. The rates of maturation (to metaphase II), cleavage and development to blastocysts were compared among treatment groups. Furthermore, frozen-thawed blastocysts were in vitro cultured to compare the survivability among groups. The maturation rates in the T1, T2 and T3 groups ($60.0{\sim}68.2%$) were significantly lower than that in the control group (81.8%, p<0.05). The cleavage rates in the T1 and T2 groups (52.6 and 54.5%) were significantly lower than that in the control group (83.6%, p<0.05). However, there was no difference in the development rate to blastocysts among all groups ($27.9{\sim}33.0%$, p>0.05). The survivability of frozen-thawed embryos was significantly lower in the T1 group (46.2%) than those in the T2, T3 and control groups ($68.8{\sim}7.13%$, p<0.05). In conclusion, the results suggest that ovary transport temperature at $26^{\circ}C$ may be optimal for the better in vitro development and the survival of frozen-thawed embryos produced in vitro Furthermore, exposure of ovary to temperature below $10^{\circ}C$ during transport may significantly decrease both in vitro development and survivability of frozen-thawed blastocysts.
