Factors affecting on In-vitro Oocytes Maturation in Goats

Abstract

In the small ruminant like goat and sheep the efficient to in vitro maturation and fertilization technique more important compered the large ruminant because the short time pregnancy and short parturition interval and more economic value. The important and critical stage on in vitro embryo production in vitro maturation . The synchronization nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation important event in in vitro maturation oocyte in caprine embryo production . More efforts to in-crease the oocytes collection high quantity and quality in addition more rate oocyte maturation . Cumulus cells and homogeneity the cytoplasm important morphology category oocytes before maturation . However the multiple factors affect in the maturation in goats including methods of oocyte collection from doe , season reproduction , age the doe and physiological reproduction condition the doe during oocytes collection . Other factors related the environment condition cul-ture of surrounded during maturation procedure. The supplement media other important factors used to increase the maturation rate such as many different material used , fetal calve serum , hormone ,follicle fluid and anti-oxidant , all these material used to increase maturation rate oo-cytes to mimic in vivo process in live animal . Therefore, this article was intended to address those factors that affect maturation in goats for consideration in future research in producing the largest number of mature oocyte for use in the production of embryos in goats .
