Comparison between culture of bovine embryos in vitro versus development in rabbit oviducts and in vivo
FJ Ectors, F Thonon, A Delval, RS Fontes… - Livestock Production …, 1993 - Elsevier
The aim of this work was to evaluate the efficiency of different embryo culture methods for in
vitro embryo production: development in co-culture with bovine oviductal epithelial cells
(BOEC), in BOEC conditioned medium (CM) or in rabbit oviducts, versus in vivo produced
embryos. There was no significant difference in terms of percentages of cleaved and 8-cell
stages obtained between CM and BOEC. In CM, 24.8% of the cleaved embryos became
blastocysts. In BOEC, 14.5% of the cleaved embryos became blastocysts. Among the 190 …
