The importance of oocyte quality cannot be overstated, because it impacts all subsequent
events during development of the embryo, the fetus and even the resulting offspring. Oocyte …

An intense interest exists internationally in investigating in vitro procedures for the
maturation, fertilization, and culture of immature oocytes from domestic mammalian species …

With an increased interest in transgenic animal production, the caprine species offers many
advantages, and the prepubertal goat is a potential source of large numbers of oocytes for in …

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of oocyte selection using the brilliant cresyl
blue (BCB) test plus the addition of cysteamine to the in vitro maturation (IVM) medium to …

Experiments were carried out to develop and improve in vitro culture systems for IVM-IVF
prepubertal goat oocytes. Cumulus oocyte complexes (COC) were obtained by slicing …

The aim of these experiments was to study the effects of different methods of washing and
selection of spermatozoa on the IVF of IVM oocytes from prepubertal goats. Fresh ejaculates …

This study was undertaken to investigate various factors affecting the outcomes of in vitro
fertilization (IVF) of oocytes retrieved by laparoscopic ovum pick‐up (LOPU) technique from …

In vitro maturation (IVM) of goat oocytes with serum‐supplemented media results in oocytes
with reduced developmental potential. The objective of this study was to develop a defined …

Our previous studies have shown that the addition of 100 μM cysteamine to the in vitro
maturation (IVM) medium increased the embryo development of prepubertal goat oocytes …

The feasibility of using frozen-thawed semen in caprine IVF outside the breeding season
was investigated. Electroejaculated spermatozoa from a Nubian buck were washed twice …
