The usefulness of IVF as a potential tool to evaluate the field fertility of bulls is equivocal and
growth factor addition to culture media research is needed to delineate components needed …

The post‐fertilization embryo culture environment can have a dramatic effect on the pattern
of gene expression in the embryo and it is widely acknowledged that bovine embryos …

Recent studies have demonstrated the relevance of a gene expression profile as a clinically
important key feature determining embryo quality during the in vitro preimplantation period …

Different culture systems have been studied that support pre-implantation development of
bovine embryos up to the blastocyst stage. However, the use of chemically defined culture …

In vitro culture (IVC) systems feature commonly in reproductive technologies used in
livestock. However, these culture conditions impact on the metabolism and physiology of the …

A key factor in the use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) for diverse species is the
safety of procedures for long-term health. By using a mouse model, we have investigated the …

Assessment of morphological stage grade is a subjective procedure. Stage grade is of vital
