Article Synopsis
- Differences in reproductive physiology between cattle breeds influence their responses to assisted reproductive techniques, suggesting the need for breed-specific protocols for better efficiency.
- In this study, researchers found that Nelore cows had a higher percentage of advanced chromatin compaction (GV2 and GV3 stages) in their oocytes compared to Holsteins, indicating better developmental competence.
- Two synchronization protocols were tested in Holsteins to improve oocyte quality, with the OPU/D5 protocol yielding more desirable GV stages and allowing further culture that enhanced chromatin configuration in oocytes, highlighting important breed differences in reproductive performance.
