Survival of IVF-derived bovine embryos of different ages and stages of development, produced in 2 different co-culture systems and frozen in 2 different cryoprotectants, was investigated. In vitro-derived bovine embryos (n = 5,525) were utilized to study survival following exposure to cryoprotectants and after freezing. Survival of the frozen embryos was based on blastocyst re-expansion 24 h and hatching 72 h after thawing. There was no difference in survival when embryos were exposed to either glycerol (Gly) or ethylene glycol (EG) for 10 or 40 min with the cryoprotectant diluted with or without freezing. In 2 of 3 experiments in which a comparison was possible, more blastocysts frozen in 1.4 M glycerol than in 1.5 M ethylene glycol survived. Addition of 0.25 M sucrose to 1.5 M ethylene glycol in the freezing solution did not improve embryo survival. More blastocysts frozen on Day 7 of in vitro culture survived than those frozen on Day 6 or Day 8. On Days 6, 7 and 8, embryos in the most advanced stage of development survived better than those at less advanced stages. Post-thaw survival did not differ for embryos produced in co-culture with Buffalo Rat Liver (BRL) cells with either Menezo B2 Medium or Tissue Culture Medium 199 and frozen in 1.4 M glycerol.
