In vitro production (IVP) of bovine embryos is an efficient biotechnology to multiply genetically superior animals, being applied<br />

on a commercial scale worldwide. Nevertheless, it is limited by the low embryo survival rates after cryopreservation, which restricts the use<br />

of surplus embryos obtained in routines. The low cryotolerance of bovine IVP embryos is attributed to excessive accumulation of lipids in the<br />

cytoplasm. The isomer of conjugated linoleic acid trans-10, cis-12 CLA is targeted to reduce the lipid content in different cells, including<br />

embryos. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of trans-10, cis-12 CLA on bovine IVP embryos cryotolerance subjected to vitrification<br />

or conventional freezing. Bovine oocytes were selected and subjected to in vitro maturation and fertilization. For in vitro culture, presumptive<br />

zygotes were allocated into two groups: CLA group, with 100 µM of trans-10, cis-12 CLA, and control group, free of CLA. Cleavage (D2) and<br />

blastocyst (D7) rates were evaluated. Grades I and II expanded blastocysts (n = 156) were subjected to vitrification (20% propanediol + 20%<br />

ethylene glycol) or conventional freezing (1,5 M ethylene glycol). After warming, re-expansion and hatching rates were evaluated using the chisquare<br />

test with 5% of significance. There was no difference between cleavage rates of control (81.3%) and CLA groups (77.9%) or blastocyst<br />

rates between control (30.4%) and CLA groups (28, 5%). After cryopreservation, there was no difference between hatching rates of vitrified<br />

control (67.4%) and vitrified CLA groups (65.8%). Both rates were higher than those of frozen control group (28.6%) and frozen CLA group<br />

(13.3%), which did not differ among each other (P > 0.05). It can be concluded that, under the conditions of this study, the addition of trans-10,<br />

cis-12 CLA to culture medium does not improve cryotolerance of bovine IVP embryos and that vitrification provides greater embryo viability<br />

after warming than conventional freezing.<br />

Because of its broad distribution among populations of cattle and association with cells and fluids from infected animals, bovine<br />

viral diarrhea vírus (BVDV) represents a potential problem in applications of assisted reproduction (Gard et al. Theriogenology 68: 434-442, N<br />

2007). The use of ovaries and oviducts harvested in abattoirs from unknown health status animals is already an established practice in the<br />

production of in vitro embryos. The aim of this study was detect BVDV by RT-PCR from bovine follicular fluid (FF) obtained from in vitro<br />

embryo production procedure. The collects were performed between February and December 2010. Bovine ovaries were collected immediately<br />

after slaughter at a commercial abattoir and washed with modified phosphate-buffered saline (PBSm). FF was aspirated from ovarian follicles<br />

range 2-8 mm in diameter and a 2 mL sample was stored at -80ºC until the moment of use. A total of 22 FF pools were analyzed, from 1844<br />

animals (range 43-136 animals/pool). For the isolation of total RNA was used TRIzol ® LS Reagent (Invitrogen, USA) according to manufacture<br />

recommendation. The cDNA was synthesized using the SuperScript ® Reverse Transcriptase Kit (Invitrogen, USA) according to manufacture<br />

recommendation. PCR was performed using the primers 324 and 326 (Vilcek et al. Archives of Virology 136: 309–323, 1994). The PCR<br />

products were separated by electrophoresis carried out in 2% agarose gel dyed with Blue green loading dye I (LGC Biotecnologia, Brazil).<br />

Visualization of amplification products was performed using UV light. It was obtained 3 positive BVDV FF pools (13.63 %). The presence of<br />

BVDV has been determined to be detrimental in culture systems, causing a reduction in rates of maturation, fertilization and/or development.<br />

Considering that, the use of FF BVDV PCR-assay is an important tool to assure the embryos quality production in vitro.<br />
