Group | No. of sows | Corpora lutea | Oocytes-embryos | Recovery rate (%) | Viable embryos | Fertilization rate (%) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
SP | 16 | 25.7 ± 8.4 | 24.3 ± 8.6 | 94.8 ± 14.1 | 22.6 ± 7.3 | 94.3 ± 11.8 |
BTS | 18 | 24.9 ± 5.6 | 22.8 ± 5.1 | 92.0 ± 9.7 | 21.1 ± 6.4 | 91.3 ± 14.9 |
Data are mean ± standard deviation (six replicates). Means of corpora lutea, oocytes-embryos and viable embryos were compared by using unpaired Student t-test. Means of percentage data (recovery and fertilization rates) were analyzed using Mann Whitney U-test for two independent samples.
