Résumé
This study aimed to compare the effect of three schemes of ovum pick-up (OPU) on follicular dynamics, oocytes recovery, oocytes quality, gene expression, nuclear maturation and in-vitro developmental competence of oocytes in Sahiwal cattle. Considering the follicle population, all the cows were divided equally in a 3 × 3 cross over design, and each cow received one of the three treatments: (a) twice weekly (TW; n = 6), (b) once weekly (OW; n = 6) and (c) bi-weekly OPU (BW; n = 6) in three periods, with the first OPU conducted on 4, 7 and 14 days after second dominant follicle puncture (DFP) in the TW, OW and BW OPU interval groups, respectively. The collected cumulus oocytes complexes (COCs) were graded into A, B, C and D grades depending on the number of layers of cumulus cells and homogeneous nature of cytoplasm. Nuclear maturation was assessed by staining the oocytes with Hoechst 33342. The growth rate (mm/day) of dominant follicle (DF) (F1) (0.49 ± 0.21 vs. 0.71 ± 0.26 vs. 1.30 ± 0.27) and first subordinate follicle (F2) (0.85 ± 0.27 vs. 0.71 ± 0.25 vs. 1.06 ± 0.29) did not differ (p > .05) among all the three groups. The proportion of animals bearing a corpus luteum (CL) in the BW OPU interval group (53.3%) was significantly higher (p < .05) as compared to TW (13.3%) and OW (18.3%) OPU interval groups. The number of medium-sized follicles and oocyte with grade A and B were significantly higher (p < .05) in the TW (1.16 ± 0.21 and 33.88 ± 0.03) OPU interval group as compared to the OW (0.88 ± 0.22 and 21.54 ± 0.03) and BW (0.55 ± 0.21 and 21.89 ± 0.02) OPU interval groups. However, the number of degenerated oocytes in BW (0.85 ± 0.16) OPU interval group was significantly higher (p < .05) as compared to the TW (0.16 ± 0.15) and OW (0.44 ± 0.16) OPU interval groups. Expression level of growth differentiation factor 9 in TW OPU interval group was significantly higher (p < .05) as compared to the OW and BW OPU interval groups. Likewise, expression level of bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) in the TW and BW OPU interval groups was significantly higher (p < .05) as compared to the OW OPU interval group. The nuclear maturation rate was significantly higher in the TW (63.64 ± 0.07) and BW (59.26 ± 0.08) OPU groups as compared to OW (51.43 ± 0.06) OPU interval group. However, the cleavage rate (59.30 ± 0.06 vs. 44.29 ± 0.06 vs. 56.67 ± 0.06) did not differ (p > .05) among the three groups. Whereas, the blastocyst rate tended to be higher (p = .06) in the TW (29.07 ± 0.05) and BW (28.33 ± 0.04) OPU interval groups as compared to OW (18.57 ± 0.05) OPU interval group. Taken together, it can be concluded that TW OPU interval scheme enhances the medium-sized follicles resulting in good quality oocytes, regulates the oocyte-derived paracrine factors, leading to higher nuclear maturation rates and improved embryonic development in-vitro.
