In vitro matured bovine oocytes at the metaphase-II stage were slowly frozen in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 1.0 M glycerol, 1.0 M dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) or 1.0 M propylene glycol (PROH). When thawed rapidly, more (P<0.05) oocytes were morphologically normal after being frozen with DMSO (86%) or PROH (83%) than with glycerol (62%). When inseminated in vitro with frozen-thawed bull spermatozoa, higher (P<0.05) penetration rates were observed in DMSO (79%) or PROH (76%) than in glycerol (48%). The percentages of oocytes developing to the 2-cell stage at 48 h postinsemination were also significantly (P<0.05) higher in DMSO (51%) and PROH (54%) than in glycerol (33%). However, a significant increase in the proportions of 8-cell embryos (46 vs 21 to 26%; P<0.05) at 72 h postinsemination and morulae (14 vs. 6 to 8%; P<0.05) was derived from oocytes frozen with PROH than with DMSO or glycerol. In conclusion, the type of cryoprotectant used is one of the critical factors affecting developmental competence of bovine oocytes frozen at the metaphase-II stage. For this stage of oocytes, PROH was the most effective, yielding a large number of 8-cell embryos and morulae than either glycerol or DMSO in a slow freezing method combined with a 3-step thawing protocol.
