Abstract:

Bovine embryo in vitro production (IVP) is a modern reproductive biotechnology, which is widely used in livestock production and biological research and plays an essential role in promoting breed improvement and reproductive efficiency for both beef and dairy cattle. As development of molecular biology, biochemistry and cell biology, a great progress has been made in bovine IVP. However, the current bovine IVP is still facing bottleneck problems, such as low efficiency of in intro embryo production and poor embryonic development potential, seriously hindering the further large-scale promotion and application of this technology. In this paper, the research progress of classical and latest additives in bovine IVP was systematically reviewed, intending to provide references for optimizing and constructing the technical system of different additive combinations, and aiming to more efficiently obtain high-quality bovine in vitro embryos.

Key words: bovine, embryo, culture solution, fertilization, additive
