چکیده

The study was undertaken to elucidatethe beneficial effects of goat follicular fluid (gFF) added to maturation and culture media on in vitro maturation, fertilization and post-fertilization development of oocytes in Black Bengal goats. Follicular fluid and oocytes were collected from slaughter house goat’s ovaries using the aspiration technique. Media were prepared using TCM-199 supplemented with 0.5% bovine serum albomin (BSA) plus four levels of gFF at concentrations of 0%, 5%, 10% and 15%. Oocytes were matured for 27 h, fertilized with capacitated fresh semen in Brackett and Oliphant (BO) medium for 6 h and then cultured up to 7 days, at 38.5 ˚C with 5% CO₂ under humidified air. It was observed with 0% to 15% of gFF that 53.8-75.0% of the oocytes reached the cumulus cell expansion level-3; 41.5-67.8% reached metaphase-II; 28.6-38.4% exhibited normal fertilization (formation of 2-pronuclei); 12.3-33.7% were 2-cell embryos. The development of embryos was arrested at the 2-cell stage in control media and at the 8-cell stage in 5% media, though morula and blastocyst stages developed in 10% (14.1% and 9.3%, respectively) and 15% gFF media (18.0% and 10.0%, respectively). In comparison, it was observed that the results in all stages of in vitro production of embryos could be significantly increased (P<0.05) by adding 5% gFF to control media. The results could further be improved (P<0.05) by increasing the level of gFF to 10% but no further increment (P>0.05) occurred when gFF increased to 15% level. It is concluded that gFF has a positive effect on in vitro production of embryos in Black Bengal goats and a 10% level of gFF is recommended based on the improvements observed and the associated economic benefits.
