Abstract

The present study was to investigate the pregnancy rate, gestation length and abortion rate of the recipients which transferred blastocysts produced by in-vivo collection, in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and nuclear transfer (NT). In addition, we investigate the birth weight and survival rate of the calves derived from the same methods. The pregnancy rate was 56.3％ in-vivo blastocysts, significantly higher than 19.4％ in NT blastocysts (p<0.05) but not significantly different from 30.0％ in IVF blastocysts. The abortion rate and the gestation length did not differ among the treatment groups (abortion rate: 0, 22.2 and 16.7％ respectively; gestation length: 278.8, 289.4 and 281.4 days respectively). The mean birth weight was significantly higher in NT calves (39.9kg) than in-vivo calves (25.5kg p<0.05). Recipients of in-vivo blastocysts (n=9) had all normal delivery and all of their calves survived on the 60$^{th}$ day from the birth. Recipients of IVF blastocysts (n=7) had all normal delivery but one of their calves died on the 48$^{th}$ day from the birth. Among recipients of NT blastocysts (n=5), three had normal delivery and two had Caesarean section. Among calves born through normal delivery (n=3) two died just after delivery but those born through Caesarean section all survived on the 60th day from the birth.

본 연구는 체내, 체외 및 복제를 통하여 각각 생산된 배반포를 이식하여, 수란우의 수태율, 임신기간 및 유산율과 더불어 송아지의 생시 체중과 이후 생존율을 조사하였다. 그 결과, 수태 을은 체내수정란이 56.3%로서 복제 수정란의 19.4%에 비하여 유의하게 높았으나 (p<0.05), 체외수정란의 30.0%와는 유의성이 인정되지 않았다 유산율과 임신기간은 처리군 간에 유사한 경향이었다(유산을 0, 22.2 및 16.7%; 임신기간 278.8, 289.4 및 281.4일). 한편 송아지의 체중은 복제수정란에서 유래된 송아지의 평균 39.9kg은 체내수정란에서 유래된 송아지의 평균 25.5kg에 비하여 유의하게 높았다.(p<0.05). 체내수정란이 수태된 수란우(n=9)는 모두 정상 분만하였으며, 그 송아지 는 생후 60일령까지 모두 생존하였다. 한편 체외수정란이 수태된 수란우(n=7)도 모두 정상 분만하였으나, 그 송아지 가운데 1두는 생후 48일에 사망하였다. 복제 수정란이 수태된 수란우(n=5)는 정상 분만 3두 및 제왕절개 2두를 하였다. 정상 분만된 복제송아지(n=3) 중에서 2두는 분만 직후 사망하였으나, 제왕절개로 태어난 송아지는 생후 60일까지 모두 생존하였다.
