Simple Summary Supplementation of the culture media for the in vitro production of bovine
embryos with fetal bovine serum (FBS) is associated with inconsistent outcomes. This study …

Oocytes and embryos are typically exposed sequentially to varying culture media in
standard in-vitro protocols. Expenditures of energy may be required following each medium …

The techniques of in vitro maturation (IVM) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) of bovine oocytes,
with development of the resulting embryos to advanced preimplantation stages in vitro, have …

The objective of this study was to develop a serum-free medium for the co-culture of bovine
embryos that would yield a percentage of blastocysts equal to that obtained with fetal bovine …

Diverse groups of chemicals in culture media are needed for successful bovine oocyte
maturation and embryo development during which dramatic cytoplasmic and nuclear …

In vitro culture for bovine embryos is largely not optimal. Our study was to determine the
components necessary for early embryo development. In experiment 1, IVF embryos were …

It is generally accepted that bovine embryos produced in vitro have a lower developmental
capacity than do embryos produced in vivo. Large field trials under commercial conditions …

The influence of a growth factor supplemented serum-free system on the development, gene
expression, and cryotolerance of in vitro pro-duced bovine embryos was investigated. To …

There are few data available on in vivo viability of bovine embryos developed from serum-
free or protein-free medium without somatic cell coculture. The objective of this study was to …

A chemically defined medium would be useful for analyzing promoters or inhibitors in in vitro
culture (IVC) of bovine embryos. However, an IVC system for bovine embryos in a …
