EFFECT OF THE USE OF TWO SPERM SELECTION TECHNIQUES FOR IN VITRO PRODUCTION OF ALPACA EMBRYOS

The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of the use of two sperm selection techniques for in vitro production of alpaca embryos. The ovaries and testis were collected from the local slaughterhouse and transport to 37 ° C in saline solution (0.9%) supplemented with gentamicin. Quality I, II and II oocytes were incubated in a maturation medium for 32 h at 38.5 ° C and 5% O2 and 5% CO2. For in vitro fertilization, sperm from the...
