Contents Growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF‐9) and bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP‐15) have pivotal roles in oocyte development in many species, therefore the aim was to investigate these factors during in vitro maturation (IVM) of canine oocytes. Canine cumulus oocytes complexes (COCs) were cultured in six groups for 72 hr in a supplemented TCM199‐Hepes medium as (a) Control group; (b) GDF‐9 antibody (Ab); (c) BMP‐15 Ab; (d) recombinant human (rh) GDF‐9; (e) rh BMP‐15 or (f) rh BMP‐15 and GDF‐9. Data were evaluated by ANOVA. The Abs against GDF‐9 or BMP‐15 had a negative impact on meiotic development. Higher ( p  < 0.05) number of oocytes was arrested at GVBD stage when they were incubated with either GDF‐9 Ab (64.4 ± 2.1%) or BMP‐15 Ab (67.2%± 4.9%) in comparison to those in control group (32.4 ± 7.8%). In contrast, more ( p  < 0.05) oocytes in control group reached MI (37.4 ± 1.3%) and MII stages (10.2 ± 2.1%) comparing to those groups with GDF‐9 Ab (23.1 ± 4.7% MI; 0.0% MII) or BMP‐15 Ab (16.4 ± 2.4%MI; 5.9% ± 2.1 MII). Higher rates ( p  < 0.05) of oocytes in control group stayed still arrested at GV (19.9 ± 8.6%) in comparison to those cultured with either rhGDF‐9 (3.7 ± 0.4%) or rhBMP‐15 (10.9 ± 0.7%). However, there were no differences in MII rates between oocytes cultured with GDF‐9 (14.7 ± 3.1) and BMP‐15 (7.8 ± 2.5) separately. But, more oocytes ( p  < 0.05) reached the MII stage (20.5 ± 3.8%) compared to those exposed to each protein separately and to the control group. These results suggest that these proteins likely contribute to the meiotic development in dogs.
