a: Percentage of cleaved = no. of cleaved/no. of oocytes inseminated
b: Total no. of blastocysts developed at day 7 (D7) and day 8 (D8) after cleavage
c: Total no. of blastocysts in D7 + D8/no. of cleaved
d: Total no. of blastocysts developed from day 7 to day 9
e: Total no. of blastocysts/no. of cleaved
Values with different letters (f and g) within the same column are significantly different (P < 0.05)
