Summary

No statistically significant difference in viability before and after cryopreservation was detected. When frozen-thawed germ cells were fused to cytoplasts, the cleavage rate of the resultant reconstructed embryos 44 h after fusion was 31%, although none developed into blastocysts. It is concluded that cryopreservation of bovine fetal ovarian germ cells is feasible and can play a major role in facilitating future experimentation.
