Comparative study of preimplantation development and embryonic loss in two rabbit strains

Abstract: Summary. The prolificacy of two rabbit strains (Californian and New Zealand) has been studied in parallel with ovulation rate and embryonic development. The number of mean ovulations was 11.6 in Californians and only 9.6 in New Zealands. In spite of the higher rate in the former, the number of young born was about 8 in both strains. Introduction.

“…The mean value for ovulation rate was within the range of those obtained by other authors in multiparous females selected by reproductive traits (reviewed by Blasco et al, 1993). Fertilization rate, estimated 30 h postmating, was high (99.4%), similar to the results obtained in lines selected for reproductive traits (Torres et al, 1987;García-Ximénez and Vicente, 1992;Bolet and Theau-Clément, 1994;Peiró et al, 2007).…”

“…Additionally, embryos were graded following the Veeck and Maloney criterion (Veeck and Maloney, 1986) as: Grade 1: embryo with blastomeres of equal size and no cytoplasmic fragments; Grade 2: embryo with blastomeres of equal size and minor cytoplasmic fragments; Grade 3: embryo with blastomeres of distinctly unequal size and none or few cytoplasmic fragments; Grade 4: embryo with blastomeres of equal or unequal size and significant cytoplasmic fragmentation; Grade 5: embryo with few blastomeres of any size and severe or complete fragmentation. Finally, embryos were clustered in embryo-grade categories following the Shulman criterion (Shulman et al, 1993); good quality clustered grade 1 and 2, fair quality clustered grade 3 and poor quality clustered grade 4 and 5.…”

“…Fertilisation rate was high, agreeing with results obtained by other authors in rabbits (Torres et al, 1987b;García-Ximénez and Vicente, 1992;Bolet and Theau-Clement, 1994). There is no information on the effect of unilateral ovariectomy on fertilisation rate in rabbits.…”

“…Oocytes which ovulate first are fertilised earlier and advance the uterine secretions (Torres et al, 1984 in rabbits;Pope, 1988 andXie et al, 1990 in pigs;Wilmut et al, 1986 andAl-Shorepy et al, 1992 in mice). Asynchrony between embryonic development and uterine secretions can cause embryo mortality, as shown in asynchronous embryo transfer experiments in rabbits (Wintenberger- Torres, 1974;Torres et al, 1987). For foetal period comprised from implantation to 18 d of gestation, treated females also had lower survival (D=-0.08 and P=0.93 for FS LF18 ; Table 3).…”
