    A large scale commercial in vitro embryo production and in vitro fertilization record is reported when there was use of oocytes from Bos taurus (BT), Bos indicus (BI), and Bos Taurus/indicus (BT/BI) crossbred subspecies fertilized with sexed (SS) and conventional (CS) semen. The aim of the study was to analyze the impacts of use SS in a commercial embryo production center in Colombia. Non-pregnant (n = 800), healthy, and estrous cycling BT, BI, and BI/BT crossbred cows were selected to be used as oocyte donors. Viable oocytes from 733 ovum pick up sessions in cows of the BT (4663) and BI (7305), BT/BI (3605) groups were matured and fertilized with frozen thawed semen from commercial sires. Of all cultured oocytes (n = 15,573), 52.3% of the embryos (n = 8607) underwent cleavage while 3062(19.7%) developed to the blastocyst stage. For cows of the BT, SS and CS groups, there were similar cleavage rates; however, use of SS decreased blastocyst formation (15.6% versus 18.9%). In the BI group, use of SS increased cleavage rates (59.1% versus 53%, respectively) although there was no effect on blastocyst rate development (22.9% versus 21.9). In the BI/BT groups, use of SS decreased cleavage (44.4% versus 57.1%, respectively) and blastocyst rate development compared with the CS group (15.3% versus 20.1%, respectively). Data from this study indicate embryos from cows of the BT purebred or BI/BT crossbred had less in vitro developmental capacity compared to embryos derived from oocytes of cows that were purebred BI in tropical-subtropical regions.
