Heat stress affects the fertility of dairy cattle, but supplementing vitamins E and coenzyme Q10 can alleviate its adverse effects on oocyte maturation and embryo development. Vitamin E was found to be more effective than vitamin C and coenzyme Q10 in improving maturation and cleavage rates, as well as increasing the count of blastocyst cells.
Heat stress is a significant factor affecting the fertility of dairy cattle due to the generation of free radicals. In assisted reproductive techniques, the inclusion of protective antioxidants becomes crucial to mitigate potential cellular damage. This study aimed to explore the impact of supplementing vitamins E, C, and coenzyme Q10 into the oocyte culture medium, with the goal of ameliorating the adverse effects of heat stress on oocyte maturation and embryo development in dairy cattle. A group of fifty Holstein dairy cows were synchronized, and their oocytes were harvested using the ovum pick-up method. High-quality oocytes were subjected to in vitro maturation (IVM) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures, utilizing a culture medium containing, no supplements (Group 1), 100 mu M of vitamins E (Group 2) and C (Group 3), along with 50 mu M of coenzyme Q10 (Group 4). The ensuing zygotes were cultured, and the ensuing embryos were evaluated for blastocyst formation by the seventh day. An analysis of the blastocysts' inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm (TE) cells was also conducted. The findings revealed that the group receiving supplementation of vitamin E and coenzyme Q10 exhibited significantly higher maturation and cleavage rates in comparison to both the control and the vitamin C groups. Furthermore, the count of ICM, TE, and blastocyst cells was notably elevated in the vitamin E supplemented group when compared to the control group. In summary, the effectiveness of vitamin E in enhancing IVM, IVF, and embryo development under conditions of heat stress surpassed that of vitamin C and coenzyme Q10.
