Heterologous IVF may be useful when assessing that of wild animals as it is often difficult to obtain adequate numbers of naturally corresponding oocytes. The aim of the present study was to assess the fertilization capacity of frozen\u2013thawed ibex epididymal spermatozoa via heterologous IVF involving the oocytes of prepubertal domestic goats. The effect on fertilization and embryo development of adding oestrous sheep serum (ESS) to the fertilization medium was also examined. Cumulus\u2013oocyte complexes (COCs) were matured in TCM-199 for 24\u201327 h at 38.5\u00b0C in a 5% CO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>in air atmosphere. Frozen\u2013thawed epididymal spermatozoa were selected by density gradient centrifugation. After maturation, the oocytes were co-incubated with spermatozoa in synthetic oviductal fluid (SOF) with different concentrations of ESS: SOF-C (0%), SOF-2 (2%) and SOF-20 (20%). At 17 h post-insemination (hpi), zygotes with one female and one male pronucleus (2PN) were categorised as normal; zygotes with 3PN were recorded as polyspermic, and oocytes with 1PN as asynchronous. Cleavage and blastocyst development were assessed at 48 and 168 hpi respectively. The percentage of zygotes with 2PN was higher in the SOF-2 than in the SOF-20 treatment group (27.7% versus 2.9%<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>&lt; 0.05). The percentage of blastocysts formed with the SOF-C, SOF-2 and SOF-20 treatments were 1.1%, 7.5% and 0% respectively. These results show that the presence of 2% ESS achieves better results than the use of no serum or the standard 20% concentration. Heterologous IVF may be an effective method for predicting the fertilization capacity of ibex spermatozoa, and therefore perhaps that of other wild mountain ungulates.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0967199413000518","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,11,29]],"date-time":"2013-11-29T09:56:32Z","timestamp":1385718992000},"page":"136-144","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Fertilization capacity of cryopreserved Iberian ibex epididymal sperm in a heterologous<i>in vitro<\/i>fertilization assay"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"J.","family":"L\u00f3pez-Saucedo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Santiago-Moreno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R.","family":"Fierro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D.","family":"Izquierdo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.A.","family":"Coloma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.G.","family":"Catal\u00e1","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"I.","family":"Jim\u00e9nez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.T.","family":"Paramio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,11,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0967199413000518_ref045","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.theriogenology.2005.05.016"},{"key":"S0967199413000518_ref047","volume-title":"Cryobanking the Genetic Resource","author":"Watson","year":"2001"},{"key":"S0967199413000518_ref046","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mrd.20111"},{"key":"S0967199413000518_ref008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cryobiol.2010.07.005"},{"key":"S0967199413000518_ref005","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1071\/RD02048"},{"key":"S0967199413000518_ref042","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/jez.a.10194"},{"key":"S0967199413000518_ref030","first-page":"12","article-title":"Assessment of sperm fertilizing ability in farm animals","volume":"29","author":"Rodr\u00edguez-Mart\u00ednez","year":"1998","journal-title":"Acta Agr.
