Abstract: The aim of this study was to improve the effect of vitrification of porcine matured oocyte. This study was designed to examine the effect of Taxol pretreatment on vitrification of porcine oocytes matured in vitro by a cryoloop method. The results showed that the vitrified oocytes pretreated with 1.0 μmol·L1 Taxol attained higher normal morphology rate(89.93%) and FDA stain survival rate(83.33%) than the control(79.12% and 70.97%) (P<0.05). But when the concentration of Taxol was increased, it came to weaken the effect of vitrification. The proportions of oocytes with normal morphology and survive rates could reach to 90.21% and 84.13%, when they were treated for 30 minutes before vitrification. So the best parameter was 1.0 μmol·L1 Taxol for 30 minutes before vitrification. Pretreatment with CB or Taxol had a significant positive effect on vitrification of porcine matured oocytes(P<0.05), but there were no significant differences between the two chemical materials(P>0.05).
