Cumulus oocytes romplexes (COCs) wm obtained from ovaries whil>h collel>ted from l! local abattoir Good quality COCs (immature oocytes) were vitrified immediately after collection. After 22-24 hours ofCOCs culture oocytes were vitrified similarly. All oocytes (immature and marure) were exposed to vitrification solution of different concentnltions (glycerol: 3.3,6.6 and 1000Ao) at 5, 5 and 10 minutes intervals respectively. The oocytes were finally placed in 10% glycerol and Immediately loaded in 0.25 ml plastic stnlws, each containing 100 )ul of 10% sucrose in Modified phosphate buffer saline (M-PBS) UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2009/AVMJ/5509/122/332.pdf ER -
