The hollow fiber vitrificaiton (HFV) method, we developed (Matsunari et al., JRD 58, 2012) has been shown to be very effective in the cryopreservation of highly cryosensitive embryos, such as in vitro matured-fertilized pig morulae. The objective of this study was to verify the effectiveness of the HFV method to the in vitro matured-fertilized bovine embryos in early developmental stage. Crossbred (Holstein×Japanese Black) in vitro matured-ferti...
