Contents Recent advances in new technologies to produce cloned and genetically modified
pigs involve manipulating oocytes and/or embryos in vitro. Although a great deal of progress …

Pig follicles 3 to 6 mm in diameter were everted and matured for 44 h. The oocytes were
then collected and exposed to capacitated boar sperm purified by centrifugation in a two …

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 …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the developmental ability of early porcine
embryos produced in vitro and transferred to recipient gilts. Porcine cumulus-oocyte …

B an is an endangered miniature pig breed in V ietnam. This study aimed to set up an in vitro
embryo production (IVP) system for this breed. B an's epididymal sperm concentration …

Nuclear transfer of somatic cells and other biotechnologies applied to embryo production in
vitro yield very few embryos that are competent to become live offspring. Multiple factors can …

Recent advances in systems for in vitro production (IVP) of porcine embryos, including in
vitro oocyte maturation, fertilization and embryo culture, have enabled us to generate viable …

The quality of porcine blastocysts produced in vitro is poor in comparison with those that
develop in vivo. We examined the quality of in vitro‐matured and fertilized (IVM/IVF) oocytes …

Human assisted reproductive technology procedures are routinely performed in clinics
globally, and some of these approaches are now common in other mammals such as cattle …

Studies have consistently demonstrated that 4-cell pig embryos can be cultured to the
blastocyst stage in a simple salt solution containing bovine serum albumin (BSA). Pig …
