In the present study, comparison of 2 different culture media (Ham's F-12 and M-199) for supporting in vitro maturation of goat oocytes, and their subsequent embryonic development was evaluated in the presence or absence of sera (estrous goat serum, EGS and fetal calf serum, FCS) and hormones (FSH, 0.5 ug/ml, LH, 5 microgram/ml and estradiol, 1 microgram/ml). Neither medium (Ham's F-12 or M-199) when supplemented with EGS and hormones showed any notable changes in the maturation rate nor in cleavage and blastocyst development. The mean cell number for blastocysts was also significantly low (P< 0.05). However, Ham's F12 medium supplemented with FCS and hormones showed a considerable increase in the maturation rate, but subsequent embryonic development was not appreciably increased. However, maturation, cleavage and blastocyst development rates of oocytes matured in M-199 medium in combination with 10% FCS and hormones were significantly higher (P<0.05). Mean cell number per blastocyst was also significantly increased in this latter treatment compared with that of the other groups (P<0.05). The results thus indicated that both the culture medium and serum have a marked effect on maturation and subsequent embryonic development. Further, the results also showed that the combination of M-199 with FSH, LH and E2 supplemented with 10% FCS was the most efficacious medium for in vitro maturation and subsequent embryonic development of the media, sera and hormone combinations studied.
