In vitro culture of IVM derived porcine embryos: comparisons of single-step and sequential media systems on embryo quality and cryosurvivability

Bartolac Louise K , Sjoblom Cecilia , Grupen Christopher

In pigs, the quality of In vitro-produced embryos is much lower than that of in vivo-derived embryos. The poor quality of In vitro-produced porcine embryos has been attributed to the apparently sub-optimal embryo culture media that is commonly created in-house. Few studies have examined the capacity of commercially available media, typically used to culture human embryos, to support the development of porcine embryos. The aim of the present study was...
