The Effect of Somatic Cell Count on the Quality of Embryo in Donor Cows

Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of somatic cell count on the embryo quality in donor cows. The study was conducted in Hacıali farm of East Mediterranean Agricultural Research Institute in Adana. In the experiment, a total of 30 Holstein cows were used. All donors had a regular oestrous cycle. According to their somatic cell counts, donor cows were divided into two groups. In the first group there were 15 cows with 268.000 cells/mL. According to the results somatic cell count did not affect transferable embryo number, nontransferable embryo number, total embryo number, percentage of transferable embryos and percentage of non-transferable embryos. In groups with high and low somatic cell counts, mean transferable embryo numbers were 2.86 and 3.33; total embryo numbers were 5.72 and 6.40; and percentages of transferable embryo were 51.68 and 56.09 %, respectively.
