Abstract
: The objectives of this study were to elucidate the toxicity of Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), Ethylene glycol (EG), and the combination of both permitting cryoprotectants (CPAs) to cattle oocytes and the effectiveness of Brilliant cresyl blue (BCB) on immature oocytes pre-selection. Cattle ovaries were collected from the local slaughterhouse and transported within 2 hours of slaughter. The oocytes were exposed to 26 mM BCB solution. The other oocytes were not exposed to BCB solution or CPA. Oocytes were classified as BCB positive (+) or BCB negative (−). Oocytes were either exposed to DMSO, EG, or DMSO + EG at different CPA concentrations as follows: toxicity to identify developmentally competent oocytes.
期刊介绍:
American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, a quarterly, peer reviewed publication and is dedicated for publication of research articles in the field of biology of animals and with the scientific understanding of how animals work: from the physiology and biochemistry of tissues and major organ systems down to the structure and function of bio molecules and cells; particular emphasis would given to the studies of growth, reproduction, nutrition and lactation of farm and companion animals and how these processes may be optimized to improve animal re- productivity, health and welfare. Articles in support areas, such as genetics, soils, agricultural economics and marketing, legal aspects and the environment also are encouraged. AJAVS is an important source of researcher to study articles on protection of animal production practices, herd health and monitoring the spread of disease and prevention in both domestic and wild animals.
