Extract

Individual culture of porcine embryos facilitates precise evaluation of developmental progress during crucial stages of preimplantation growth in vitro. This approach was applied to embryos, collected at different stages of development, from young pre-pubertal gilts induced to ovulate following gonadotrophin treatment. The present study also examined embryo development in 2 media produced for porcine egg culture, NCSU-23 (Petters and Wells, 1993) and modified Whitten's Medium (mWM; Beckmann and Day, 1993).
