Abstract

|
Quick freezing of bovine embryos was attempted after they were predehydrated at room temperature. Combined solutions of 2M glycerol or 2M ethylene glycol in the presence of either 0.5 or 1.0M sucrose in phosphated buffered saline+20% calf serum were compared. The quick freezing method in which embryos were directly transferred in liquid nitrogen vapor for 2 minutes at - l70℃ before being plunged into liquid nitrogen was used. Post-thaw survival rates in 2M glycerol and 2M ethylene glycol were high with 0.5 M (55.6% and 53.3%) versus 1.0M(38.1% and 31.6%) sucrose(P < 0.05). But survival rates with 2M glycerol and 2M ethylene glycol were not significantly different. Transfer thawed embryos frozen with 2M glycerol and 2M ethylene glycol by 0.5M sucrose resulted in birthrates of 40.9% and 40.0%, respectively compared to 26.3% and 27.2%, respectively, for 1.0 M sucrose(p<0.05). This was 56.0% for fresh control.
