Abstract

The possible use of micromanipulative biopsy and PCR of the biopsied embryonic cells was tested to produce sexed bovine embryos in practical terms. By micromanipulation and PCR techniques, higher survival rate and accurate sexing of demi-embryos were btained. Bovine oocytes matured and fertilized in vitro were co-cultured with bovine oviductal epithelial cell (BOEC) monolayer in USU-6 medium supplemented with 15% FBS, and the embryos of 37% (327/885) were developed to blastocysts. Among 111 blastocysts produced by invitro, only 7 (6.3%) embryos were found unable to determine their sex, probably due to the loss of cells, since no PCR product was found from those cells. All the remaining 104 (93.7%) demi-embryos survived micromanipulation and demonstrated male-specific product or bovine-specific product alone suggesting that correct sexing of the sample. Forty-three point one percent(25/58) of manipulated and cryopreserved demi-embryos after thawing were survived. Final verification of the sexed embryos is necessary to make sure the same sex in fetus and newborn calf upon embryo transfer. The established sexing method on a large number of bovine embryos from previous and this study suggests that this a could be used practically in the field.
