Preservation of preantral follicles becomes very important to ensure follicle quality at the onset of cryopreservation or in vitro culture. However, for domestic animals, the ovarian donor of preantral follicles for in vitro studies is commonly encountered far away from reproduction laboratories. We investigated the effectiveness of coconut water and Braun- Collins solutions on the preservation of goat preantra...
The present work has investigated the morphological and ultrastructural changes occurring during degeneration of goat preantral follicles preserved in vitro and showed quantitative data about the distribution of follicular degeneration types in the control and after preservation in coconut water solution or Braun–Collins solution at different temperatures (4, 20 or 39°C) and incubation times (4, 12 or 24 h). At...
The present work investigated the effect of the interval of serial sections of ovarian tissue on the number of isolated preantral follicles in the goat. Goat ovaries were cut in the tissue chopper at eight different intervals. The quality of isolated follicles were evaluated by histology and transmission electron microscopy. Best results were obtained when the ovaries were cut in the tissue chopper at intervals...
The purposes of this study were to estimate the population of caprine preantral follicles, and to evaluate quantitatively and qualitatively the efficiency of a specific mechanical method for the isolation of preantral follicles from mixed breed goats at different reproductive stages. On average, 37,646±4277 preantral follicles were present in goat ovaries, and 13,631±2399 preantral follicles were obtained after...
The present work has investigated the efficiency of Braun-Collins and Saline (0.9%) solutions in the conservation of goat preantral follicles in situ, at different temperatures and incubation times. For each animal the ovarian pair was divided into 19 fragments. One ovarian fragment was taken randomly and immediately fixed (control). The other 18 ovarian fragments were randomly distributed in tubes containing B...
