El presente trabajo se desarrolló en el Centro de Investigación y Enseñanza en Transferencia de Embriones (CIETE), convenio Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina (UNALM) - Ministerio de Agricultura (MINAG); ubicada en el campus de la UNALM. El objetivo fue evaluar la fertilidad y la producción de embriones in vitro de cuatro toros provenientes del Banco Nacional de Semen: Pepe, Miguel, Juanjo y Vito. Para este estudio se utilizaron 1031 ovocitos de calidad A y B aspirados de ovarios de vacas beneficiadas en camal. Los ovocitos fueron madurados en medio TCM-199. Para la separación espermática se uso el método de centrifugación con gradientes de Percoll, la capacitación y fertilización se realizó en el medio TALP-IVF + PHE y el cultivo de embriones con medio Sofaa + 5% de Suero Fetal Bovino (SFB). Los embriones fueron evaluados los días 7, 8 y 9 después de la fertilización. ...

The objective was to evaluate the fertility and in vitro production of embryos of four bulls from the National Semen Bank. This study used 1031 oocytes of quality A and B obtained from ovaries of the local slaughterhouse. The oocytes were matured in the TCM-199 medium. The Percoll gradient centrifuge method was used for spermatic separation; sperm capacitation and fertilization was done in the TALP-IVF + PHE medium; and embryos were cultured with the Sofaa medium containing 5% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS). Embryos were evaluated on days 7, 8, and 9 after fertilization. There were no statistical differences among the four bulls, and the fert...
