Porcine embryos have become raw materials for different programmes of reproductive
biotechnology and the in vitro production of embryos has some advantages over in vivo …

In addition to their major role in food production, pigs have become an increasingly
important species in biomedical applications involving the production of pharmaceutical …

The establishment of in vitro embryo production (IVP) system in pigs enables us to generate
viable embryos with a quality equal to that of in vivo derived embryos. This technology …

Pigs show economic importance and physiological similarities to humans. For this reason,
the in vitro production (IVP) of swine embryos is an important biotechnological tool …

Contents In vitro fertilization (IVF) of in vitro matured (IVM) oocytes in pigs has become the
most popular method of studying gametogenesis and embryogenesis in this species …

Porcine in vitro production (IVP) systems, including in vitro maturation (IVM) and in vitro
fertilization (IVF) of oocytes and their subsequent in vitro culture (IVC), have been modified …

In this study, the acquisition for developmental competence of early-stage pig embryos
derived from in vitro fertilization of in vitro matured pig oocytes was determined by culturing …

The routine maturation, fertilization, and development of pig embryos in vitro has only
recently been achieved. Many of the conditions for in vitro production of embryos have been …
