Abstract

  • Artificial reproductive techniques (ARTs), such as in-vitro fertilization (IVF), allow for embryo production beyond what is naturally possible.
  • To conduct IVF oocytes must reach maturity via in-vitro maturation (IVM), be fertilized by IVF, and the resulting embryos cultured via in-vitro culture (IVC).
  • Modifications in maturation media and culture media are often tested experimentally to increase effectiveness of ARTs.
  • Researchers have found that supplementing a group of three cytokines (fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2), leukemia inhibiting factor (LIF), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1), together known as FLI) in maturation media improved oocyte maturation in pigs and bovine cloning success.1-2
  • Our research aimed to investigate the effect of supplementing FLI in both maturation and culture media on bovine embryo development.
