Transvaginal ultrasound‐guided oocyte retrieval (commonly called OPU) and in vitro
embryo production (IVP) in cattle has shown significant progress in recent years, in part, as a …

To date, large‐scale use of multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET) programmes in
ovine species is limited due to unpredictable results and high costs of hormonal stimulation …

Oocytes are maintained in a state of meiotic arrest following the first meiotic division until
ovulation is triggered. Within the antral follicle, meiotic arrest is actively suppressed in a …

The maturation of oocytes external to the body is referred to IVM and is utilised by many
different species. IVM bypasses traditional superovulation methods, where several hormonal …

Abstract Simulated Physiological Oocyte Maturation (SPOM) mimics in vitro the
physiological events of oocyte maturation. The system uses cAMP modulators in two steps …

Oocyte cryopreservation is not yet considered a reliable technique since it can reduce the
quality and survival of oocytes in several species. This study determined the effect of …

Simple Summary In vitro embryo production in cattle still needs improvement in order to
reach quality and pregnancy rates comparable to in vivo-derived embryos. One of the …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of the time of embryo transfer, the
stage of development and the quality of the transferred embryos, the processing of embryos …
