Follicular oocytes collected from prepubertal gilts at a local slaughterhouse were matured for
36 hours in mTLP-PVA medium with pig follicular fluid (pFF) fraction and cysteine, and were …

Experiments were conducted to confirm that co-culture of follicular shells and immature pig
oocytes improved the rate of male pronuclear (MPN) formation and to test the hypothesis …

The use of nuclear transfer (NT) techniques to create transgenic offspring capable of
producing valuable proteins may have a major impact on the pharmaceutical market. Our …

Abstract Development of bovine embryos derived from in vitro-matured/in vitro-fertilized
(IVM/IVF) oocytes was examined in two culture media: hamster embryo culture medium …

Miniature pigs have been recognized as valuable experimental animals in various fields
such as medical and pharmaceutical research. However, the amount of information on …

Today, although not efficient enough to replace multiple ovulation and embryo transfer, in
vitro embryo production for small ruminants is a platform for new reproductive technologies …

Technologies for in vitro embryo production have the potential to enhance the efficiency of
cattle production systems. However, utilization of in vitro-produced embryos for transfer …

The development of porcine oocytes from large (3.1–8.0 mm in diameter) or small (< 3.1
mm) follicles was examined after maturation culture in medium containing porcine follicular …

The utilization of in vitro produced pig embryos for commercial production or research is
dependent upon the development of improved methodology. Our objective was to establish …

In this review the concept that the origins of embryonic failure occur during oocyte
development is explored. The four factors that determine oocyte viability, namely a normal …
