Abstract

The objective of the present study was to evaluate efficiency of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in Nelore, Brangus, and Girolando oocyte donors. Ovum pickup (OPU) from the donors was conducted every 15 days to assess oocyte recovery, IVF, and post-transfer pregnancy percentage. For Nelore, the mean numbers of total and viable oocytes recovered (23.5 ± 1.1 and 14.0 ± 1.0, respectively) were higher (p < 0.05) than those for Brangus (12.7 ± 1.9 and 6.6 ± 1.0, respectively) and Girolando (12.5 ± 1.4 and 6.8 ± 0.7, respectively); Brangus and Girolando did not differ from each other (p > 0.05). The percentage of blastocyst production differed (p < 0.05) between Nelore (48.4 ± 2.4%), Brangus (40.3 ± 3.6%), and Girolando (38.9 ± 2.6%), but those in Brangus and Girolando did not differ (p > 0.05). The percentage of blastocysts (transferred) that resulted in pregnancy did not differ (p > 0.05) between Nelore (45.5 ± 3.8%), Brangus (41.7 ± 4.1%), and Girolando (40.7 ± 3.7%). Of the breeds studied, Nelore donors are more efficient for IVF, but conditions of this study.
