It has previously been reported that ovine embryos cultured in Synthetic Oviduct Fluid
medium supplemented with 20% human serum (SOF+ HS) develop into lambs with a high …

The effects of supplementing synthetic oviductal fluid (SOF) with amino acids, at oviductal
fluid concentrations, on the development of ovine in vitro-matured/in vitro-fertilized embryos …

The effects of in vitro culture systems for sheep zygotes on subsequent fetal growth and
development to day 61 and day 125 of gestation were studied. Zygotes recovered from …

The influence of various in vitro procedures on embryo survival and the production of normal
offspring was investigated in sheep. Zygotes produced from in vitro matured (IVM) and …

In vitro production of ruminant embryos has become routine and is increasingly available as
a commercial service to dairy, meat and wool producers. However, the efficiency of …

The aim of this study was to develop a serum-free culture system that could support high
levels of cleavage and blastocyst formation from sheep zygotes developed in vitro. To this …

Fertilized sheep and cattle ova have not been reported to develop readily during culture in
vitro. Up to 60% of sheep morulae develop normally during culture (Moor & Cragle, 1971) …

The ovine oviduct was evaluated as a culture system for early bovine embryos. One-to two-
cell embryos were collected from superovulated heifers killed 36 or 48 h after the onset of …

The finding that zygotes (one-cell embryos) from several livestock species can be routinely
cultured in relatively simple media to the blastocyst stage questions the nature of the …

Three experiments were conducted to test the suitability of medium 199 supplemented with
10% fetal calf serum (M199FCS) as a medium for co-culture of one-cell sheep ova with …
