“…The NM-delivered calves were found to have lower CCI than AI and ET. Lafontaine et al (2023), found that the daughter fertility index (DF) displayed in MOET, IVF and AI daughters, were lower than the scores of their parents, but the lesser scores registered for AI.…”

“…The ET-derived dams had higher milk yield compared to AI and NM. Lafontaine et al (2023), speculate that a possible bias, is happening in terms of production, animals conceived by assisted reproductive techniques, are associated with a higher genetic potential, and the economic value expected from these animals leads the producers to offer better environmental conditions. Also, a trend of lower LMY was assessed in dual-purpose farms compared to dairy specialized, and the lowlands with respect to midlands.…”

Lafontaine et al (2023), found that the daughter fertility index (DF) displayed in MOET, IVF and AI daughters, were lower than the scores of their parents, but the lesser scores registered for AI. They claim that it is possible that as documented in mice, offspring derived from IVF could experience low fertility (Calle et al, 2012).…”

A populational, observational and longitudinal‐retrospective study with records of 28 dairy‐specialized and dual‐purpose farms was carried out to compare the productive performance of cows born by embryo transfer (ET), artificial insemination (AI) and natural mating (NM), using the database of Centro Regional de Investigación para la Producción Animal Sostenible (CRIPAS) of cattle herds in Costa Rica. Herds (system × altitude), conception method (ET, AI and NM), genetic background (DSpB: specialized dairy breeds [Bos taurus] and crosses, GYR × HOL: Gyr × Holstein Crossbred and DSpB × BI: crosses between dairy breeds and Bos indicus), year of birth (or at calving), lactation number and days in milk were evaluated for the productive parameters age at first calving (AFC), calving to conception interval (CCI) and lactation milk yield (LMY) using a GLIMMIX procedure on SAS. The AFC, CCI and LMY were affected (p < .0001) by all factors considered in each parameter. ET has lower (p < .0001) AFC in months (33.1) than AI (35.2) and NM (36.44). NM had lower (p = .004) CCI (110 days) than AI or ET (121 days) values which were similar (p > .05). The higher LMY (p < .0001) was observed in ET (4140 kg), compared to AI (3706 kg) and NM (3595 kg). There was no difference between AI and NM. In conclusion, the method of conception in calves affected their future reproduction and production during puberty, postpartum and lactation. The effects on management decisions will require a rigorous economical study to discern whether ET would be a cost‐effective alternative to AI or NM.

“…There is substantial evidence that characteristics of offspring from IVP at birth can be different compared with their naturally-conceived counterparts in cattle, sheep, mice and humans (Farin and Farin, 1995;Young et al, 1998;Sinclair et al, 1999;Blondin et al, 2000;Bertolini et al, 2002;Farin et al, 2006;Bloise et al, 2014;Feuer et al, 2014;Lafontaine et al, 2023). Particularly in ruminants, the most common aberrant phenotype in newborns derived by IVP is fetal overgrowth, an abnormal condition frequently referred to as "large offspring syndrome" (Behboodi et al, 1995;Young et al, 1998;Farin et al, 2010).…”

“…Performance of adult IVP-derived offspring might also be offset, if genetic potential is considered. Results of recent retrospective studies have raised some important questions about lifetime productive and fertility performance in dairy cows (Siqueira et al, 2017;Lafontaine et al, 2023).…”

The establishment and maintenance of a pregnancy that goes to term is sine qua non for the long-term sustainability of dairy and beef cattle operations. The oocyte plays a critical role in providing the factors necessary for preimplantation embryonic development. Furthermore, the female, or maternal, environment where oocytes and embryos develop is crucial for the establishment and maintenance of a pregnancy to term. During folliculogenesis, the oocyte must sequentially acquire meiotic and developmental competence, which are the results of a series of molecular events preparing the highly specialized gamete to return to totipotency after fertilization. Given that folliculogenesis is a lengthy process in the cow, the occurrence of disease, metabolic imbalances, heat stress, or other adverse events can make it challenging to maintain oocyte quality. Following fertilization, the newly formed embryo must execute a tightly planned program that includes global DNA remodeling, activation of the embryonic genome, and cell fate decisions to form a blastocyst within a few days and cell divisions. The increasing use of assisted reproductive technologies creates an additional layer of complexity to ensure the highest oocyte and embryo quality given that in vitro systems do not faithfully recreate the physiological maternal environment. In this review, we discuss cellular and molecular factors and events known to be crucial for proper oocyte development and maturation, as well as adverse events that may negatively affect the oocyte; and the importance of the uterine environment, including signaling proteins in the maternal-embryonic interactions that ensure proper embryo development. We also discuss the impact of assisted reproductive technologies in oocyte and embryo quality and developmental potential, and considerations when looking into the prospects for developing systems that allow for in vitro gametogenesis as a tool for assisted reproduction in cattle.
