Embryo cryopreservation and embryo biopsy have been slow to become established in equine reproductive practice, partly because of the difficulty in applying these techniques to the equine embryo as it is typically recovered from the uterus, that is, at day 7 after ovulation as an expanded blastocyst. Over the past 5 years, we have developed a technique, using micromanipulation with the Piezo drill, which provides a method for biopsy of both small and large equine embryos, with accurate genetic diagnosis from the biopsied cells and normal pregnancy and foaling rates after transfer. During the development of this biopsy technique, we found that blastocysts collapsed after biopsy showed relatively high viability after vitrification and warming. Modification of vitrification methods allowed the establishment of a vitrification technique that supports normal pregnancy rates for expanded blastocysts up to 650 μm in diameter. This technique uses blastocyst collapse, vitrification medium containing ethylene glycol and galactose, in combination with warming medium containing sucrose, and a low-volume vitrification device. Biopsy and vitrification of expanded equine blastocysts are now offered commercially, and have the potential to become valuable tools for use by the equine practitioner in the efficient management of equine reproduction.  相似文献

Recipient pregnancy rates following transfer of frozen-thawed blastocyst stage equine embryos remain low. To date, no protocol has been developed that would allow successful cryopreservation of this stage of embryos. These experiments characterized the amount of glycerol entering equine embryos after incubation in 1.4 M and 3.4 M glycerol solutions using tritiated glycerol and a liquid scintillation counter. Blastocyst stage equine embryos (n = 27) were collected and incubated for 15 minutes in either 1.4 M (n = 14) or 3.4 M (n = 13) tritiated glycerol solutions. Disintegrations per minute were then determined, and the percent glycerol uptake was calculated for each embryo. Percent glycerol uptake for 1.4 M or 3.4 M glycerol treatment groups was not different (P = .68). However, it was higher (P = .05) in embryos with a diameter of ≤600 μm (3.6%) compared with embryos with a diameter of >600 μm (0.4%). We concluded that glycerol more readily permeates into embryos with a diameter of ≤600 μm that do not possess a fully functional capsule compared with embryos with a diameter of >600 μm with a fully formed capsule.  相似文献

Numerous reproductive technologies have been developed in the past several decades, which have dramatically changed the way mares are bred. This review will focus on embryo recovery and transfer, cooled-shipped embryos, embryo freezing, oocyte freezing, oocyte collection and transfer, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), and sexed semen. Embryo transfer procedures have been constant for many years and the costs have not changed. The major change has been the ability to store embryos at 5 C for 12–24 hours and transport them to recipient stations. Embryo freezing has become more common using the technique of vitrification of embryos >300 μm or deflating embryos >300 μm before freezing. Oocyte vitrification has resulted in poor pregnancy rates although the technique works well in women. The ability to collect oocytes from mares and fertilize them by sperm injection has revolutionized the veterinarian’s approach to infertility in the mare and/or stallion. A transvaginal approach can be used to collect oocytes from preovulatory follicles and unstimulated follicles 5–25 mm in size. Although traditional in vitro fertilization does not work well in the horse, ICSI can be used to produce blastocysts which, upon nonsurgical transfer into recipients, provide a pregnancy rate similar to fresh embryos collected from donor mares. Sorting sperm by flow cytometry into X- and Y-bearing spermatozoa has been shown to provide about a 50% pregnancy rate with freshly sorted sperm but only 12% with sorted, frozen/thawed stallion sperm. It is likely that more advanced reproductive techniques will be developed in the future. Their acceptance will depend on how well they work, perceived need, cost, and, to some extent, the breed associations.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to determine whether vitrification is an effective method when used for Japanese Black Cattle (Wagyu) in vivo‐derived embryos, collected following a superovulation treatment and embryo transfer (MOET) programme. In vivo‐derived morula and blastocysts collected on day 7 after artificial insemination, were vitrified using a modified droplet vitrification (MDV) procedure and subsequently warmed for transfer (ET) into synchronized recipients. Fresh embryos, and embryos cryopreserved using a standardized slow freezing procedure (direct thaw/direct transfer, DT) served as ET controls. Two different follicle‐stimulating hormone (FSH) sources, Folltropin® Canada (FSH BAH, 24 donors) and a brand prepared by the Chinese Academy of Science (FSH CAS, 16 donors), were compared in a series of superovulation outcomes following well‐established FSH administration protocols. Following data analysis, the total number of ovulations recorded at the time of embryo flushing (10.5 vs 8.5; p = 0.28) and the total number of transferable embryos (6.2 vs 5.1; p = 0.52) were similar between the two FSH sources. ET for MDV (39.7%, n = 78), DT (35.2%, n = 71) and fresh controls (47.1%, n = 34) resulted in similar pregnancy rates (p > 0.05). When MDV was used, a higher pregnancy rate (42.6%) resulted from the transfer of vitrified morulae, when compared to the DT counterparts (24.3%), (p = 0.05). Transfer of vitrified morulae resulted also in higher pregnancy rate, when compared to the transfer of vitrified blastocysts (42.6% vs. 29.4%; p < 0.05). Transfer of DT blastocysts resulted in higher pregnancy rate than morulae, similarly cryopreserved (47.1% vs. 24.3%, p < 0.05). In conclusion, MDV is an effective alternative methodology for cryopreservation of in vivo‐derived embryos. This study gives also indication that, compared to vitrified blastocysts, MDV of morula stage embryos results in higher pregnancy rates following warming and transfer into synchronized recipients.  相似文献

Early embryo transfer in equids was undertaken simultaneously in the early 1970s in Cambridge, England, and Kyoto, Japan. Both groups achieved limited success when flushing the uterine horn ipsilateral to the side of ovulation but the rates improved markedly when the whole uterus was flushed on realization of the continued movement of the embryo throughout the uterine lumen after day 6. Initial transfers of embryos to recipient mares were carried out surgically, but nonsurgical transfer via the cervix has been used subsequently with increasing success, culminating in pregnancy rates of 75%–90% today. Experimental use of embryo transfer in horses and donkeys demonstrated the unique ability of equids to carry to term a full range of interspecies hybrid conceptuses and extraspecies pregnancies created by embryo transfer. Furthermore, splitting of day 4–8 cell embryos and day 6 compact morulae allowed the creation of genetically identical twin foals. But despite these and other significant advances over the past 45 years, a persisting limitation is the relatively low embryo recovery rates from donor mares treated with exogenous gonadotropins in attempts to induce them to superovulate. This is due to the toughness of the ovarian tunica albuginea which forces ovulation through the ventrally situated ovulation fossa where multiple follicles compete with each other and luteinize before they can ovulate properly.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate three different cloning strategies in the domestic cat (Felis silvestris) and to use the most efficient to generate wild felid embryos by interspecific cloning (iSCNT) using Bengal (a hybrid formed by the cross of Felis silvestris and Prionailurus bengalensis) and tiger (Panthera tigris) donor cells. In experiment 1, zona‐free (ZP‐free) cloning resulted in higher fusion and expanded blastocyst rates with respect to zona included cloning techniques that involved fusion or injection of the donor cell. In experiment 2, ZP‐free iSCNT and embryo aggregation (2X) were assessed. Division velocity and blastocyst rates were increased by embryo aggregation in the three species. Despite fewer tiger embryos than Bengal and cat embryos reached the blastocyst stage, Tiger 2X group increased the percentage of blastocysts with respect to Tiger 1X group (3.2% vs 12.1%, respectively). Moreover, blastocyst cell number was almost duplicated in aggregated embryos with respect to non‐aggregated ones within Bengal and tiger groups (278.3 ± 61.9 vs 516.8 ± 103.6 for Bengal 1X and Bengal 2X groups, respectively; 41 vs 220 ± 60 for Tiger 1X and Tiger 2X groups, respectively). OCT4 analysis also revealed that tiger blastocysts had higher proportion of OCT4‐positive cells with respect to Bengal blastocysts and cat intracytoplasmic sperm injection blastocysts. In conclusion, ZP‐free cloning has improved the quality of cat embryos with respect to the other cloning techniques evaluated and was successfully applied in iSCNT complemented with embryo aggregation.  相似文献

Vitrification of embryos >300 µm in diameter requires puncture of the glycoprotein capsule, although the size of the hole compatible with embryo survival is unknown. Forty-five day-7 or -8 embryos were punctured using a 30-µm glass biopsy pipette mounted on a micromanipulator (n = 20) or manually with either an acupuncture needle (∼100-µm diameter -hole; n = 10) or a microneedle with a <1 µm tip to produce a ∼30-µm diameter hole (n = 15) before transferring to recipient mares; further 12 embryos were punctured with either the acupuncture needle or microneedle before being cultured in vitro for 48 hrs (n = 3 per puncture group) or transferred to recipient mares and recovered 48 hrs later (n = 3 per puncture group). No pregnancies resulted from the 10 embryos punctured with the acupuncture needle, whereas 15 of 20 (75%) and 10 of 15 (67%) punctured on the micromanipulator or manually with the microneedle resulted pregnancies. Neither acupunctured nor microneedle-punctured embryos repaired their capsules in vitro. The acupunctured embryos also failed to repair their capsule after 48 hrs in vivo and subsequent uterine flushing yielded numerous capsular vesicles. The microneedle-punctured embryos did repair their capsule in vivo. Puncture with the microneedle opens the way for development of a manual method to vitrify equine embryos.  相似文献

The major difficulty in providing the benefits of embryo cryopreservation for equine agriculture is the mismatch between the optimal embryo age for collection from the mare (7-8 days after ovulation was detected) and the optimal age for freezing under current methods (6.5 days after ovulation). To overcome this limitation, we tested a method to enhance penetration of cryopreservative across the capsule and trophoblast of day 7 and 8 embryos combined with rapid freezing by vitrification. Six small embryos (<300 μm in diameter) were collected on day 6-7 after ovulation and twelve larger embryos were recovered on day 7-8. In the treatment group, replacement of blastocoelic fluid with cryopreservative solution was facilitated by a laser system used to create a small opening in the embryonic capsule and trophectoderm. All embryos were vitrified using a CryoLeaf freezing support. After recovery from freezing and embryo transfer, three of four small untreated embryos (<300 μm in diameter, 75%) and four of nine large blastocysts in the treatment group (>300 μm in diameter, 44%) resulted in a vesicle as detected by ultrasonography approximately one week after transfer. However, only one recipient mare was still pregnant on day 23, and she delivered a live foal. Further investigation is required to determine why most of the embryos in this experiment were lost between day 13 and day 23 of gestation.  相似文献

Studies were conducted to investigate the possibility of embryo transfer in the cat during the non-breeding season. Estrus was induced in 19/22 (86.4%) cats using a porcine pituitary gland preparation. Uterine horns were flushed in 5 cats 6-8 days after mating with expanded blastocysts being collected from 4 cats. One to nineteen blastocysts per cat were transferred to the uterine horns of 6 recipient cats in which ovulation had been induced with HCG. The time differences between time of ovulation in donor and recipient animals were 0.5 days earlier in the recipient (2 cats), 1 day later in the recipient (3 cats), and no difference (1 cat); conception occurred in all the recipients. The ratio of fetuses to transplanted embryos were 1/1, 1/2, 2/3, 2/6, 4/7, and 2/19, respectively. Fetal death occurred in 2 cats at days 22 and 25 and abortion occurred in 3 cats at days 34, 35 and 39. There was a delay in the expulsion of placentae in the animals that experienced fetal death on days 22 and 25, expulsion occurring on days 36 and 56, respectively. One cat was treated with progesterone and carried 2 fetuses to day 66; pregnancy was terminated by cesarean section. In conclusion, it was demonstrated that embryo transfer can be performed in cats in which estrus and ovulation have been induced with porcine pituitary gland preparation during the non-breeding season. However, luteal activity needs to be supplemented by exogenous progesterone administration to maintain pregnancy.  相似文献

In dogs, embryo transfer (ET) techniques such as induciton of excessive ovulation and synchronization of estrus have not progressed well. Therefore, using embryos at various developmental stages, ET was investigated in dogs from a beagle colony in which the ovulation days were close, as estimated by the progesterone level. Embryos were, recovered 8-11 days after ovulation (4-9 days after mating) by excising the oviducts and uteri (excision method) in 16 animals and by surgical flushing of the uteri at laparotomy (surgical method) in 3 animals. In 24 dogs with -4 to +2 days of difference in the timing of ovulation between donor and recipient dogs, 1-10 embryos at the 8-cell to blastocyst stages were transferred per animal. The mean embryo recovery rate by the excision method (97.1%) was significantly higher than that by the surgical method (42.5%) (p<0.01). Twelve (57.1%) of 21 animals with -1 to +2 days difference in ovulation day became pregnant after the transfer of 8-cell to blastocyst stage embryos. Although 3 dogs with -4 to -2 days of difference of ovulation day underwent ET of morula or compacted morula, none of these dogs became pregnant. The mean ratio of the number of newborns to the number of transferred embryos was only 51.9%. The mean duration of the period between ovulation and delivery in the pregnant recipients was 65.8 days, which tended to be longer than that in natural mating. These results demonstrate that pregnancy can be induced by ET at the 8-cell to blastocyst stage in dogs with -1 to +2 days difference in ovulation day.  相似文献

Multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET) is an important tool in the sheep industry for increasing numbers of genetically superior individuals. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of semen source (frozen or fresh), the number of embryo collection procedures for each donor (NECP), the season in which embryo transfer and collection was performed, and the age and breed of the donor, on the number of recovered embryos and pregnancy rates after embryo transfer. The Alamos Genetics’ flushing station database was used. This consisted of 140 embryo collection procedures, from 53 Dorper and White Dorper sheep donors, aged between one and eight years, totalling 1,200 collected embryos. Neither the number of retrieved embryos nor the pregnancy rate was affected by the semen preservation method (fresh or frozen), NECP or the age and breed of donor. The season did not affect the number of collected embryos but had a significant effect (p < 0.05) on the recipient pregnancy rate, with higher pregnancy rates reported in the winter (65.57% ± 25.33%) compared with spring (37.11% ± 33.27%), summer (29.95% ± 28.33%) or autumn (35.03% ± 31.66%). There is an estimated increase of 98.4% and 71.5% of embryos recovered in the spring and summer seasons, respectively, when winter is used as reference. The survival of embryos is significantly higher when implanted during the breeding season, more specifically in winter. Embryo collection can be carried out throughout the year in sheep, but there may be a marginal advantage in the use of superovulation and fresh embryo transfer programmes in the autumn and winter.  相似文献

Exercise stress has a negative impact on embryo transfer efficiency (ET). For example, a 34% embryo recovery rate, 43% incidence of poor quality embryos, and a 29% pregnancy rate after transfer have been reported. Administration of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may reduce the inflammatory response produced after nonsurgical embryo transfer. In addition, progesterone supplementation is commonly administered to some recipient mares to improve uterine conditions before the transfer and to ensure adequate progestational support compatible with pregnancy. The aim of the study was to evaluate embryo recovery rates using BioRelease deslorelin versus hCG and to increase posttransfer pregnancy rates by jointly administering BioRelease progesterone and a NSAID (flunixin or meloxicam) to recipient mares. Seventeen upper-level showjumping mares stabled and in daily training were used as embryo donors. To induce ovulation, 1-mg IM BioRelease deslorelin (BioRelease Technologies, Lexington, KY) was injected in treated cycles (n = 66), or 2500-IU hCG IV (Ovusyn, Syntex, Buenos Aires, Argentina) was given in control cycles (n = 79) when a ≥35 mm follicle was present. Artificial insemination with extended fresh semen (at least 500 × 106 progressively motile sperm) was carried out in both groups immediately after injecting the ovulation induction agent. Day 8 embryos were recovered and nonsurgically transferred using a speculum and a cervical traction forceps. Recipient mares (n = 73) were randomly assigned to one of three groups: Group A received a single injection of 1.5-g IM BioRelease progesterone (Progesterone LA 300, BioRelease Technologies) and 3 IV injections of 0.5 g of flunixin meglumine (Flunix Deltavet, Argentina), one injection administered the day of the transfer and one on each of the next two successive days. Group B received 1.5-g IM BioRelease progesterone and a single dose of 1.5-g IM BioRelease meloxicam (Meloxicam LA, BioRelease Technologies) at the moment of embryo transfer. Group C did not receive any treatment. Pregnancy diagnosis was carried out 7 days after transfer. Results were analyzed using comparisons of proportions. More embryos were recovered per cycle (13% increase) when donor mares in training were induced to ovulate with BioRelease deslorelin (60.6%; 40/66) than with hCG (46.8%; 37 of 79; P < .05). Although both recipient groups given NSAIDs in combination with BioRelease progesterone numerically had higher pregnancy rates (A: 70.8%; 17/24 and B: 75%; 15/20) compared with nontreated control recipients (47.1%; 33/70), pregnancy rates were significantly higher only in recipients given LA meloxicam treatment at the time of transfer (P < .05). The LA meloxicam is released over a 72-hour period making it more practical to use as it requires a single IM injection versus the 3 IV flunixin meglumine injections. Thus, to minimize the effects of exercise stress on ET efficiency, a combination of BioRelease deslorelin to induce ovulation in donors and BioRelease progesterone and LA meloxicam in recipients at the time of transfer may offer an interesting alternative for improving results in commercial ET programs.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of leptin administration during superovulation on in vivo goat embryo production. Ten mature does were superovulated with 133 mg follicle‐stimulating hormone (FSH) i.m. in six descending doses at 12‐h intervals. The goats received 4.8 μg/kg human recombinant leptin s.c. (leptin group, n = 5) or phosphate‐buffered saline (PBS) (control group, n = 5) with the first and second FSH doses. The does were mated and subjected to embryo collection by transcervical technique 6 days later. The total number of cells per embryo and the number of cells with fragmented DNA were assessed in selected blastocysts by combining Hoechst 33342 and terminal dUTP nick‐end labelling (TUNEL) staining. Plasma concentrations of oestradiol (E2) and progesterone (P4) were determined by electrochemiluminescence from the day of FSH treatment, on the day of superovulatory oestrus and on the day before embryo collection. Compared with the control group, the does that received leptin had a higher number of transferable embryos (p < 0.005), fewer embryos classified as degenerated (p < 0.001) and fewer TUNEL‐positive cells/blastocyst (p < 0.001). The number of transferable embryos was positively correlated with E2 concentrations on day of oestrus (r = 0.562; p < 0.01) and P4 concentrations on the day of embryo collection (r = 0.912; p < 0.001). We concluded that in vivo leptin administration during FSH treatment improved embryo quality and affected ovarian steroidogenesis in superovulated goats.  相似文献

Transcervical embryo transfer in performance mares   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
Pregnancy was established by transcervical transfer of embryos from performance mares into recipient mares. Estrus was synchronized between donor (n = 17) and recipient (n = 43) mares. After a greater than or equal to 25-mm follicle was detected, donor mares were bred artificially daily until ovulation. Day of ovulation was recorded. Uterine flushes (n = 111) were performed on donor mares 7 days after ovulation, and recovered embryos were transferred transcervically to recipient mares within 2 hours. Embryos were recovered from 40.5% of uterine flushes. Of transferred single embryos, 65.7% resulted in pregnancy, detectable by ultrasonographic examination 23 days after transfer. Only 35.3% of twin embryos resulted in pregnancy. Results over a 4-year period were as follows: uteri were flushed on 14, 44, 31 and 22 occasions, and 8, 21, 15, and 11 embryos were recovered (1 embryo was not transferred), with 6, 11, 4, and 6 resulting in 30-day pregnancy in years 1 to 4, respectively.  相似文献

The objective of this study was to compare the effect of two culture media: modified synthetic oviductal fluid (mSOF) and G1.2/G2.2, on the developmental competence of bovine somatic cell–cloned embryos. Cloned embryos were produced by transferring adult skin fibroblasts into enucleated MII oocytes. After activation, the reconstructed embryos were randomly allotted to either mSOF or G1.2/G2.2 for culture (the embryos were transferred from G1.2 to G2.2 on days 3 of culture). The development competence of cloned embryos in these two culture systems was compared in terms of cleavage rate, blastocyst formation rate and apoptosis cell number in day 7 blastocyts. To investigate the in vivo developmental competence of cloned embryos in the two culture systems, a total of 87 and 104 blastocysts derived from mSOF and G1.2/G2.2 medium groups were transferred individually to recipient Angus cows, respectively. No differences were observed in terms of cleavage rate, day 7 blastocyst rate and blastocyst cell number between these two culture systems. However, the day 6 blastocyst formation rate was significantly higher in G1.2/G2.2 than that in mSOF. In addition, blastocysts cultured in mSOF have a higher percentage of apoptotic blastomeres compared to those in G1.2/G2.2 (8.5 ± 1.2 vs 16.8 ± 1.5, p < 0.05). Although difference in pregnancy rate was not observed 40 days after embryo transfer, significantly higher pregnancy rate was observed in G1.2/G2.2 group after 90 days of embryo transfer (12.4% vs 37.5%, p < 0.05). Moreover, calving rate was significantly improved in G1.2/G2.2 group compared to mSOF group (27.9% vs 6.7%, p < 0.05). In conclusion, our results indicate that G1.2/G2.2 can improve developmental competence of bovine SCNT embryos both in vitro and in vivo, which is more suitable for culture of bovine SCNT embryos than mSOF medium.  相似文献
