Background: The collection of ovaries from slaughterhouses is an important source of oocytes for in vitro embryo production. On the other hand, the physiological stage of slaughtered females varies and influences embryo production. Objectives: The study examined the in vitro efficiency of embryos and demi-embryos from young, non-pregnant adult, and pregnant adult ewes from a local slaughterhouse. Methods: One thousand three hundred ovaries were collected from August to October 2020. The recovered oocytes were matured, fertilized, and cultured at 5% CO2, 38.5℃, and 100% humidity. Embryo bisection was performed in 96 blastocysts (n = 32 per treatment). The demiembryo pairs were incubated for their reconstitution for 12 h. SAS was used for data analysis. Results: The number of oocytes collected from the experimental group of non-pregnant adult ewes was higher (p ≤ 0.007) than those collected from the group of pregnant adult ewes (2.67 ± 0.19 vs. 2.18 ± 0.15 oocytes/group, respectively). The blastocyst rate was higher (p ≤ 0.0001) in the non-pregnant adult group (36.39%) than in the young (17.96%). The ratio of demi-embryos that recovered the blastocoelic cavity was higher (p < 0.05) in the young group (81.25%) than in the pregnant adult group (59.38%). The diameter of the demi-embryos was higher (p < 0.05) in the non-pregnant adult group (186.54 ± 8.70 ㎛) than those in the young and pregnant adult groups. Conclusions: In conclusion, the in vitro embryo production efficiency was highest when using oocytes from non-pregnant adult ewes under the conditions of this study.

본(本) 연구(硏究)는 생쥐에 대한 과배란반응(過排卵反應), 회수(回收)된 수정란(受精卵)의 양분율(兩分率), 양분(兩分)된 분할구(分割球)의 체외배양(體外培養) 및 이식후(移植後) 산자(産仔)로의 발달율(發達率)을 조사하기 위하여 CBA 및 C57BL 계통(系統)의 공시(供試)생쥐에서 얻어진 수정란(受精卵)을 0.5% protease로 투명대 제거 및 미세유리봉으로 양분(兩分)하여 얻어진 분할구(分割球)를 blastocyst로 배양(培養)하여 BALB/C 계통(系統)의 수란(受卵)생쥐에 이식(移植)하여 다음과 같은 결과(結果)를 얻었다. hCG 주사후(注射後) 36~42시간(時間), 48~54시간(時間), 62~66시간(時間), 72~78시간(時間)에 수정란(受精卵)을 회수(回收)한 결과(結果) 각각(各各) 2세포기(細胞期), 4세포기(細胞期), 8세포기(細胞期) 및 상실배기(桑實胚期)의 수정란(受精卵)이 대부분 회수(回收)되었으며 수당(首當) 평균(平均) 17.0개(個)의 난자(卵子)가 회수(回收)되었다. 회수후(回收後) 양분(兩分)한 8세포기(細胞期) 수정란(受精卵)의 양분율(兩分率)은 83.6%로서 상실배(桑實胚)의 65.5%에 비(比)해 유의적으로 높았으나 blastocyst로의 분할구(分割球)의 발달율(發達率)은 상실배(桑實胚)에서 얻어진 분할구(分割球)가 76.5%로서 8세포기(細胞期) 분할구(分割球)의 60.9%에 비(比)해 유의적으로 높았다. 한편 배양(培養)된 분할구(分割球)와 intact embryo에 있어서 세포기(細胞期)에 따라 각각(各各) 수란(受卵)생쥐당(當) 2개(個), 10개(個), 15개(個)씩 이식(移植)하였을 때 공(共)히 15개(個)씩 이식(移植)한 경우 수태율(受胎率)이 가장 높았으나 세포기(細胞期)에 따른 수태율(受胎率)에 있어서 유의적인 차이는 없었다. 배양(培養)된 분할구(分割球)와 intact embryo의 이식(移植)후 새깨생산율(生産率)에 있어서 8세포기(細胞期)에서는 intact embryo를, 상실배(桑實胚)에서도 intact embryo를 이식(移植)하였을때 새끼 생산율(生産率)은 각각(各各) 37.6% 및 43.4%로서 각각(各各) 배양(培養)된 분할구(分割球)를 이식(移植)하였을때 보다 새끼생산율(生産率)이 유의적으로 높았다.

The present study was conducted to compare on embryo survival rates by blastomere isolation methods, and establish the optimal PCR procedure for perform the sexing of bovine blastocysts produced by IVF. IVF embryos used in the study was used the Bisected or Sliced methods for blastomere isolation, and the survival rates of blastocyst with rapid way of sexing PCR was assessed. In the present study for survival rates in blastocyst was the total cleavage rate was 75% and a blastocyst development among cleaved embryos was 40%. Survival rate of embryos treated with intact, bisected or sliced method was 100, 63.3 or 81.3%, respectively. Therefore, survival rate of embryos treated with sliced method was higher compared to that of embryos treated with bisected method. The sexing rate of female or male was not significantly different between S4BFBR primer and BSY + BSP primer (1.75 : 1 vs. 1.43 : 1), respectively. Because of the PCR amplification using the S4BFBR primer was simpler method than multiplex PCR amplification method. Furthermore, the accuracy of sexing rate and reduction of PCR work time between 2-step and 3-step of PCR methods was 98.0% / 1.5 hr and 97.0% / 3.5 hr, respectively. Based on these results, it can be suggested that the sliced and PCR methods we developed was very effective method to reduce time consuming and procedure of PCR amplification for sexing with the increase of survival rate on the blastocyst.
