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 …

Embryo metabolism is an indicator of viability and, therefore, efficiency of the culture
medium. Currently, little is known regarding porcine embryo metabolism. The objective of …

In this study, the developmental ability and cellular composition of porcine IVF, parthenote
and somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) embryos were evaluated following different in vitro …

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 …

The objective of this study was to compare the development of porcine embryos from the 2-
and 4-cell stages to the blastocyst stage after in vivo or in vitro fertilization and in vivo or in …

The in vitro production of porcine embryos has presented numerous challenges to
researchers over the past four decades. Some of the problems encountered were specific to …

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 …

This study was conducted to examine the effect of energy substrates in a serum-free culture
medium on in vitro development of porcine embryos. Presumptive zygotes derived from in …

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 …

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 …
