Abstract

Successful cryopreservation of mammalian oocytes would provide a source of materials for in vitro embryo production. This study was conducted to determine vitrification conditions for bovine immature oocytes using micro-drop method and, to examine maturation, fertilization and development of vitrified bovine immature oocytes.
