Effect of seasonality on the quality of bovine oocytes selected by the brilliant cresyl blue method

Abstract: Background: The brilliant cresyl blue (BCB) staining is a non-invasive test to select the best-suited oocytes for embryonic development. This makes it a useful tool to select best-quality oocytes at the times of the year when there is forage restriction. Objective: To evaluate the effect of seasonality on the nuclear maturation and quality of oocytes selected by the BCB test. Methods: The cumulus-oophorus complexes (COCs) were obtained in summer and winter of 2010 and 2011. Selected COCs were maintained for 90… Show more

“…When the cattle were mostly fed in the pasture, the quality of the oocytes was higher and the maturation and postdevelopment rates were better (Maia et al 2017). This result is similar to the high maturation rate we obtained in the spring and the high maturation rate according to the autumn season.…”

“…Those with unchanged cytoplasm were considered BCB-and less competent. This test is based on the ability of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) to reduce BCB from blue to colorless in growing oocytes, whereas in oocytes grown at low activity the enzyme allows them to remain blue (Maia et al, 2017).…”
