Abstract
This study investigated the influence of embryonic developmental stage, cryoprotectant concentration, and vitrification solution volume on the cryopreservation efficiency of in vitro-produced Cỏ goat embryos. In Experiment 1 the survival rate of zygotes cryopreserved 20 h after IVF was lower than blastocysts cryopreserved 7 days after IVF (66.86 % vs 90.92 %, P < 0.05). The cleavage and blastocyst rates of the zygote group were lower than those of the control (non-cryopreserved) group (52.91 % and 81.94 % vs 81.94 % and 36.48 %, respectively, P < 0.05). The hatching blastocyst rate achieved by embryos vitrified as blastocyst or zygotes was 14.62 % and 3.69 %, respectively. In Experiment 2, the survival rate of blastocysts vitrified in the 16.5 % EG + 16.5 % DMSO group was higher than that of the 12.5 % EG + 12.5 % DMSO and 20 % EG + 20 % DMSO groups (91.34 % vs 43.16 % and 61.24 %, respectively, P < 0.05). The hatching blastocyst rate of 12.5 % EG + 12.5 % DMSO, 16.5 % EG + 16.5 % DMSO and 20 % EG + 20 % DMSO groups was 0 %; 13.74 % and 0 %, respectively. In Experiment 3, the difference in the survival rate between blastocysts vitrified in 0.3 μL, 0.5 μL and 1 μL was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). The hatching blastocyst rate of the 0.3 μL group was higher than that of the 0.5 μL and 1 μL groups (44.18 % vs 13.98 % and 14.36 %, respectively, P < 0.05). In conclusion, the IVP Cỏ goat embryos were successfully vitrified by cryotop vitrification method at a CPA concentration of 16.5 % EG + 16.5 % DMSO with a vitrification solution volume of 0.3 μL.
