USE OF SEMEN WITH A SPECIFIC GENDER FOR OBTAINING CATTLE EMBRYOS IN IN VITRO CULTURE

Abstract

The paper presents the results of work with purpose to establish the efficiency of fertilization in in vitro culture of oocytes of cattle with semen divided by gender. In total, 1804 oocytes were fertilized: 770 with ordinary semen and 1034 with divided by gender. 583 blastocysts were obtained. The cleavage level was almost the same and made 91.9% when using ordinary semen, and 91.3% when using semen with certain gender. The output of blastocysts during fertilization with certain gender semen made 29.9% of the number of fertilized oocytes and 32.7% of the number of cleaving embryos, which turned out to be 5.7 and 6.0 p.p. lower compared to ordinary semen, respectively.
