If you are willing to achieve fertilization and consequent viable pregnancy the bovine survival time will be a maximum of 5-8 hours generally but if you are checking a gene expression in the oocytes(Mt gene expn) then it can survive upto 48 hours to 50 hours.
Dear Prakash, I want to clarify. 48 h for bovine include - period to M2 ( 16 - 32 h) plus the time of overeexposure in the medium prior to IVF or activation. I think that 48 h after M2, this is too much. Although the question itself interesting.
