Abstract

Experiments were disigned to define and optimize efficiency of a system whereby pig follicular oocytes could be matured and fertil ized in vitro. The pig oocytes removed from 1- 2 mm and 3-7 mm follicles were cultured in vitro in the mKRB(-BSA) solution containing estrous sow serum (ESS), FCS or dialyzed pig follicular fluid for 24 to 48 hr at 37^{circ}C. The oocytes matured in vitro were evaluated after epididymal spermatozoa-oocyte incubation for 24 hr for pronucleus formation. 50-60% of the oocytes reached metaphase II during 36 to 48 hr of culture. There was no differernce in oocyte matura￢tion between two groups of follicular size but meiosis was slightly faster in the 3-7 mm follicular oocytes. The oocytes matured in mKRB (-BSA) plus 5% ESS, 15% FCS or dialyzed follicular fraction showed slightly higher maturation rates than the control mKRB. in vitro fertilization, pronucleus formation, tended to be increased when mKRBi-BSA) plus 5% ESS or 15% FCS was used for oocyte maturation and in vivo -capacitated spermatozoa were inseminated, respectively. It is concluded that ESS, FCS and dialyzed pig follicular fluid may be effective factors for in vitro maturation and fertilization of pig follicular oocytes.
