Evaluation of the simulated physiological oocyte maturation system for improving bovine in vitro embryo production
ALS Guimarães, SA Pereira, LO Leme, MAN Dode - Theriogenology, 2015 - Elsevier
The aim of this study was to test the simulated physiological oocyte maturation (SPOM)-
adapted system during bovine oocyte maturation to improve embryo development. Oocytes
were obtained from follicles of 3 to 8 mm in diameter that were aspirated from ovaries
obtained from a slaughterhouse. To verify the effect of the maturation system on in vitro
embryo production, the cleavage, blastocyst rates on Days 7 and 8, embryo size, and total
cell number were evaluated. The resulting data on embryo development were analyzed by …
