Abstract | Follicular wave synchronization (FWS) before ovum pick-up (OPU) is one of the strategies used to improve the efficiency of in vitro embryo production (IVP). This study aimed to evaluate the effect of FWS on the total follicular number, cumulus-oocyte complex (COC) recovery, and in vitro embryo development in Angus cows (n = 33) subjected to OPU with 14-day intersession intervals. Additionally, it was also evaluated the presence of carryover effects given the short intersession interval used. The experiment was run as a 2-treatment (FWS vs. Control) x 2-period (1 vs. 2) crossover design. Animals in the FWS group received an intravaginal progesterone implant (1gr), estradiol benzoate (2 mg), and D-cloprostenol (150 μg) on day 0 and the OPU was performed on day 5. Control group animals did not receive any hormone treatment. The FWS increased the number of 6-10 mm follicles (P = 0.05), but it decreased the COC recovery rate (P < 0.01). The FWS did not affect the total or frozen embryo numbers (P = 0.49 and P = 0.17; respectively), but it increased the total blastocyst cell number (P < 0.01). A carryover effect was found on the total and < 6 mm follicles number (P = 0.10 and P < 0.01; respectively), and on the regular, atretic, viable, and total number of COC (P = 0.01, P = 0.08, P = 0.02 and P < 0.01; respectively). We concluded that the FWS increased the quality of embryos after OPU with 14-day intersession intervals in Angus cows and that this kind of OPU/IVP scheme enabled the existence of a carryover effect, especially on the follicle number and COC morphology. |
