In this study, we evaluated the meiotic competence of equine oocytes from ovaries preserved for one day. We also investigated fertilization, cleavage rate, developmental competence and freezability of equine embryos after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). After collection from ovaries, the oocytes were classified into two groups comprised of those having compact cumulus layers (Cp) or those having expanded cumulus layers (Ex). Oocytes with a first polar body were subjected to fertilization by ICSI using frozen-thawed stallion spermatozoa and were then cultured in CR1aa medium. The rates of metaphase II-stage oocytes, normal fertilization and cleavage were not significantly different between the two oocyte categories (38.5, 70.0 and 48.7% for CP and 43.5, 60.0 and 58.8% for Ex, respectively). However, the blastocyst development rate of Ex was significantly (P<0.05) higher than that of Cp (25.5 vs. 7.7%). Three Cp-derived and 12 Ex-derived early blastocysts were cryopreserved using the slow cooling protocol, and all of them developed to hatching blastocysts after thawing. These results suggest that equine oocytes fertilized by ICSI can develop to the preimplantation stage in culture conditions similar to those used in the bovine. Furthermore, the Ex oocytes had higher developmental competence than the Cp oocytes, and the in vitro-produced blastocysts had high viability after freezing and thawing.<br>
