Abstract

These studies were carried out to improve the reproductive efficiency through embryos transfer of Hanwoo IVM/IVF embryos. Following routine IVM/IVF procedure, oocytes and zygotes were cultured far 40 to 44 h in CRlaa medium with BSA. Then 2 to 8-cell embryos were removed the cumulus cell and were cultured in CRlaa medium containing 10% fatal bovine serum and 2.5 mM taurine in 5% $O_2$ and 5% $CO_2$ at 38.5$^{\circ}C$. The fresh embryos of the morulae and blastocysts cultured for 6 to 9 days in vitro or the frozen-thawed embryos were transferred into recipients. The pregnancy rates of the blastocyst produced for 6, 7, 8, and 9 days in vitro culture were 59.4, 68.2, 66.0 and 100%, respectively. In the developmental stage, pregnacy rates of early blastocysts (61.1%), blastocysts(64.7%) and expanded blastocysts(69.5%) were higher than that of morulae stage(20.0%). The pregnancy rates according to the corpus luteum grades of A, B and C in recipients were 73.6, 62.9 and 50.0%, respectively. Effects of donor-recipients synchrony of after day 2, 1 and 0, before day 1 and 2 on the pregnancy rates were 35.7, 65.5, 72.6, 67.9 and 60.0%, respectively. Pregnancy rates of the body condition score of recipients $\leq$2(71.3%) were higher than those of $\geq$3.0 score(40.0%). The pregnancy rates according to the parity of recipients when embryo was transferred to cow(70.6%) was higher than in heifer(59.1%). The pregnancy rates according to hormone treatment before embryo transfer were 69.9% in hCG + GnRH administration group and 63.0% in control group. Fresh and frozen-thawed embryos on the pregnancy rates were 70.6 and 36.4%, respectively. Pregnancy rates in single and AI+single was 90.0% and 64.8%. Pregnancy rates in twin induction was better than in single. These results indicate that pregnancy rates after transfer were affected on the embryo ages, donor-recipient synchrony, body condition score of recipients, corpus luteum status, parity and hormone treatment to recipients.

본 연구는 1997년 IMF 이후 급격히 감소된 한우의 두수를 증가시키고, 최근 젖소 송아지 가격이 현저히 낮게 형성되고 있어 양축가의 사기가 떨어지고 있는데 가임 젖소 암소에 한우 수정란을 이식시켜 한우 송아지를 생산케 함으로서 농가 소득을 증대시키고 실시하였다. 1. 체외수정 후 6, 7, 8 및 9일째의 수정란을 이식하여 59.4%, 68.2%, 66.0% 및 100%의 수태율을 나타냈으며, 상실배기(20.0%) 수정란이 배반포기(61.1%∼69.5%) 수정란보다 낮은 수태율을 나타내었다. 2. 수란우의 영양상태는 과비가 되지 않고 약간 야윈 듯한 체형을 선발하는 것이 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 3. 황체가 형성된 자궁각에 수정란을 이식한 결과 수태율이 70.1%로서 황체가 형성된 반대편 자궁각에 이식한 수태율 62.5%보다 높은 성적을 나타냈다. 4. 수란우에 수정란을 이식하기 전 hCG 1500 IU 와 GnRH 5 $m\ell$ 투여한 결과 69.9%를 나타내어 무처리구 63.0%보다 다소 높은 성적을 나타내었다. 5. 수란우와 공란우의 발정이 일치할 경우(0일) 이식 후 수태율이 72.6%로서 여타구보다 높은 성적을 나타내었다. 6. 수란우 산차에 따른 수정란 이식 후 수태율은 미경산우가 59.1%로서 경산우 70.6%보다 낮게 나타났다. 7. 수정란 상태에 따른 이식 후 신선란 및 동결란 수태율은 각각 70.6%와 36.4%를 나타내어 신선란이 높은 수태율을 나타내었다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 체외 수정란은 체외배양 7일에 생산된 배반포 및 확장배반포기 수정란을 공란우와 수란우의 발정을 정확히 동기화 시키고, 수란우의 황체가 뚜렷하게 형성된 경산우를 이용하며, 이식 전 수란우에 Hormone을 처리하는 것이 수태율을 향상시키는 것으로 나타났다.
