The purpose of this investigation was to develop an efficient method for harvesting oocytes from dromedary camel ovaries and to examine the effect of different maturation media on their subsequent maturation in vitro. Oocytes were collected by aspirating the follicular contents using a needle attached to a syringe (Method I, n = 163 ovaries) or to a constant aspirating pressure, applied by a vacuum pump (Method II, n = 117 ovaries). Individual follicles were excised from ovaries and follicles were punctured with two needles (Method III, n = 117). Oocytes were matured in vitro for 40–42 h. At the end of maturation period, oocytes were denuded of cumulus cells and the proportion of oocytes in metaphase-II (MII) stage was determined. In the second experiment, oocytes collected by the dissection method were matured in Tissue Culture Medium199 (TCM), CR1 or modified Connaught Medical Research Laboratories medium-1066 (CMRL) and their nuclear maturation was evaluated after 40–42 h. The recovery rate of oocytes was higher (P < 0.01) with Method III compared with Method I or II (94, 31 and 33%, respectively). A higher proportions of oocytes collected with Method I or II were either completely or partially denuded compared with Method III (31, 14% versus 1%). The proportions of viable oocytes (78, 60 and 70%, respectively) and those showing metaphase II was not different (39, 50 and 46%, respectively, P > 0.05) among the three treatment groups. Oocyte maturation rate was higher (P < 0.05) when TCM was used compared with CMRL or CR1 medium. There was, however, no difference in the maturation rate for oocytes cultured in CMRL or CR1 medium. It may be concluded that a higher proportion of cumulus enclosed oocytes may be recovered by follicle dissection method compared to aspiration using syringe or pump. The higher recovery rate with a comparable proportion of viable and matured oocytes resulted in the overall increase in the number of matured (MII) oocytes/ovary with follicle dissection procedure compared with aspiration procedures. For in vitro maturation of oocytes, TCM is superior to CR1 and CMRL as basic maturation medium for this species.
