Bovine epididymal spermatozoa treatment for in vitro fertilization: Heparin accelerates fertilization and enables a reduction in coincubation time
7 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
This study aimed to establish a protocol for in vitro embryo production using epididymal sperm (EP). Samples were obtained from ejaculated sperm (EJ) and the epididymis of 7 Gir bulls. First, the effect of heparin (+) on the viability, longevity (Experiment 1) and fertilization rates (Experiment 2) of the EP was evaluated. In experiment 2, a pool of EP and EJ sperm (n = 7) was coincubated with cumulus-oocyte...
