The aim of this study was to compare embryo production efficiency in Flemish and Holstein donor females using ovum pick-up vitro fertilization (OPU-IVF) or vivo (superovulation; SOV) procedures. conducted a split-plot design, with eight non-lactating cycling females. Females were subjected ten weekly OPU/IVF sessions and/or two SOV/embryo collections at 63-day interval, for total 160 OPU-IVF 32 SOV sessions. Mean numbers follicles corpora lutea, cumulus-oocyte complex (COC) recovery rates similar between breeds after the OPU However, donors yielded better quality grade II COCs (301, 41.9%) than (609, 202, 33.1%). Also, cleavage blastocyst rates, number mean viable embryos obtained higher (49.6% 11.8%, 63 11.8 per donor, respectively) (32.8% 7.2%, 34 7.2 also more efficient yielding (111, 7.3 donor) (48, 3.3 Overall, had responses procedures counterparts. Irrespective breeds, embryos, under conditions study. Both reproductive useful tools genetic conservation cattle breed Southern Brazil.
