Abstract
Nowadays, the efficiency of buffalo oocytes cryopreservation is still low. The purpose of this study was to evaluate effects of two combinations of cryoprotectant agents (CPAs) and two vitrification devices for vitrification of swamp buffalo oocytes on their survival after vitrification warming, and subsequent developmental ability after invitro fertilization. In vitro matured (IVM) oocytes were vitrified by either Cryotop (CT) or solid surface vitrification (SSV) interacting with vitrification solution A (VA) or B (VB). In the VA or VB solution exposed test, the oocytes showed similar survival rates, but decreased blastocyst rates after invitro fertilization compared with that of untreated oocytes. After vitrification, the CT method combined with VA solution yielded a higher survival rate (91.3±5.84%) of vitrified oocytes than that combined with VB solution (69.8±4.19%-75.8±4.55%); however, all the vitrification treatments showed lower blastocyst rates (1.1±0.07%-5.2±0.24%) compared with that of untreated oocytes (18.0±1.09%). Our results indicated that combined vitrification treatments in this study did not improve the decreased ability of vitrified oocytes developing to the blastocyst stage.
