Table 3. Parthenogenetic activation of porcine oocytes after electrochemical and chemical activation. Five replicates of this experiment were performed. In brackets, numbers of oocytes or embryos are stated. Within a column, values with different small letter (a) are non-significally different with P<0.05.
Experimental group | No. of oocytes | % of embryos development | |
---|---|---|---|
Cleavage rate | Blastocysts rate | ||
Electrochemical activation | 147 | 76.87±2.90 (113)a | 12.34 ± 2.09 (14)a |
Chemical activation | 263 | 79.85 ± 3.48 (210)a | 17.14 ± 1.06 (36)a |
