  • This study was carried out to investigate of factors concerning to ultrasound-guided follicular aspiration; level of vacuum pressure, diameter of use needle, effect of FSH hormone and conception rate after embryos transfer. 1. Oocytes collection number were 4.2$\pm$2.9 e.a to luteuml phase and follicular phase were 4.4$\pm$3.5 e.a to ovaries of Hanwoo. 2. We taked proper level of aspiration vacuum pressure was 40~120 mmHg to oocytes collection. Oocytes collected number were 4.2$\pm$3.2, 4.3$\pm$3.4, 4.5$\pm$3.4 e.a. to 40, 80, 120mmHg, respectively, follicles aspiration rate were 49, 47, 45%. 3. Effect of collection needle diameter was not difference significantly(P<0.05), oocytes collected number were 4.4$\pm$3.5 e.a to 170 and 3.0$\pm$1.8 e.a to 18G needle, collected oocytes quality were no difference significantly (P<0.05). 4. Follicles increase number to FSH hormone injection were 6.2$\pm$2.3 e.a to intramuscle and 1.1$\pm$2.7 e.a. to epithelial injection method. 5. Conception rate derived from E.T. was 11.1% to freezing embryos and 46.2% to fresh E.T., difference significantly(P<0.05).

  • This study was designed to know the possibility in repeat uses of elite donor cows for getting mass production of OPU-derived embryo production (OPU-IVP). Ultrasound transvaginal ovum pick-up (OPU) performed in 6 Korean native cows was aged 4 to 10 years old. The aspiration of immature oocytes for OPU derived embryo was carried out 2 times per week, and OPU-IVP of $1^{st}$ period was carried out 22~48 sessions from each donors. And the break time for OPU-IVP of $2^{nd}$ period after $1^{st}$ OPU from each donors were 2~25 months. The OPU-IVP of $2^{nd}$ period each donors conducted total 15~65 times for 2~8 months by an ultrasonographic, was guided follicular aspiration system. The average numbers of collected oocytes, grade 1 + grade 2(G1+G2) oocytes and cleavage embryo from $1^{st}$ period OPU-IVP were significantly differences between donors (p<0.05). Total collected oocytes of donor D were significantly higher compared with donors of A, B, C, E and F (average 17.0 per session vs. 11.2, 10.1, 8.5, 10.2 and 9.6; p<0.05) and also oocytes of G1+G2 were significantly higher compared with r A and D and subsequently to donors of B, C, E and F (average 7.9 and 8.5 per session vs. 5.0, 2.7, 6.0 and 1.6; p<0.05). Cleavage rate of donor D was significantly higher compared with donors of A, B, C, E and F (average 13.1 per session vs. 10.1, 9.1, 6.9, 8.9 and 6.7; p<0.05). The average numbers of OPU-IVP for $1^{st}$ period was significantly higher from donors of B, D and E than those from donors of A, C and F (average 6.5, 7.1 and 6.5 per session vs. 3.5, 4.2 and 2.8; p<0.05). The possibility investigation of $2^{nd}$ OPU-IVP was carried out after 2~25 months rest periods from $1^{st}$ period OPU session. Total average numbers of collected oocytes, cleavages and blastocyst development rates were significantly higher from $1^{st}$ period OPU compared with $2^{nd}$ period one (p<0.05). The OPU-IVP efficiency by break for more embryo production from elite cow was analysis comparing without rest of donor A, under 6 months rest period as B and over 6 months rest period as C and then the average numbers of collected oocytes, cleavages and blastocysts were significantly higher from A group (11.8, 9.5 and 5.2 per session) than those from B and C groups (7.9, 6.2 and 2.6 vs. 9.2, 7.5 and 3.9, p<0.05), and also C group was significantly higher than B group. In conclusion, $1^{st}$ period OPU-IVP was more efficient compared with $2^{nd}$ period repeated uses of donor, and the break times for additional production of embryo on donor were needed more than over 6 months after $1^{st}$ period OPU-IVP. This repeating uses of elite donor cows given more emphasis for getting the opportunity on mass production of elite cow OPU-IVP embryo should be increased G1+G2 possibility of genetic improvement of livestock within short period.
