Abstract:
... The current evaluation of oocyte vitro maturation (IVM) media has progressed toward more defined conditions in human and livestock. In this study, the replacement of fetal calf serum (FCS) with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was evaluated during IVM in dromedary camel. Nuclear maturation rates in presence of FCS and PVA were comparable (81.6 ± 1 and 75.5 ± 5%, respectively) ...
