In vitro-production of porcine embryos is crucial for biomedical and agricultural research,
however, current culture systems for porcine embryos are sub-optimal, and the …

Porcine embryo development in vitro is relatively inefficient compared to other domestic
species. Currently, a single culture medium (NCSU23) is the standard for porcine in vitro …

In this study, we conducted various experiments in order to develop enhanced cultural
conditions for in vitro-produced porcine embryos. All embryos were produced by in vitro …

This study evaluated the effects of reversible meiotic inhibition and different culture media
(PZM3 or NCSU23) on production of porcine embryos by either in vitro fertilization (IVF) or …

The ability to produce porcine embryos of good quality will have a significant impact on a
number of porcine assisted reproductive technologies, such as cloning, intracytoplasmic …

Media are available that can deliver modest porcine embryonic development from a single-
cell zygote to the blastocyst stage. However, few embryos develop to hatched blastocysts by …

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of fetal calf serum (FCS), non-
essential MEM amino acids, MEM vitamins and insulin on blastocoel formation, expansion …

In vitro production of porcine embryos is historically difficult. Culture systems based on the
metabolic needs of the oocyte and embryo should result in increased viability. The objective …

Oocytes in vivo generally mature in ovarian follicles that are soft, whereas oocytes that
mature in vitro are on the hard surface of culture dishes. Embryonic ontogeny through …

We have previously indicated that porcine blastocysts can be produced by in vitro
fertilization (IVF) and culture (IVC) in chemically defined porcine gamete medium (PGM) and …
