More resistance Less resistance
Species Bovine, ovine Porcine, equine
Developmental Stages Morula, YBL, and BL Hatched BL and oocytes
Origin In vivo derived embryos In vitro produced embryos, micromanipulated embryos

YBL: young blastocyst; BL: blastocyst. Adapted from Pereira and Marques, 2008 [3].
