Abstract
Trophy value and body mass of the red and fallow deer (Cervus elaphus, Dama dama) living in Hungary is well known all over the world. In this study we researched the bovine in vitro fertilisation (IVF) method for saving the genetic material of killed males and females in order to establish a deer gene bank. First of all we studied wether it is possible to collect oocytes from females after shooting. In IVF experiments these oocytes and post mortem collected spermatozoa from epididymides were used. Our results show it is possible to obtain oocytes which are able to maturate after death, and that the bovine IVF protocol requires more exams.
