Figure 1.

Representation of the experimental design with the different groups and time points (in days post-birth) of evaluation of each set of parameters. Calves, fathered by the same bull, were either in vivo derived from artificial insemination (AI), in vitro derived from embryos cultured with bovine serum albumin (BSA), or in vitro derived from embryos cultured with reproductive fluids (RF). Each calf was examined in specific days for physical, hematological, and/or biochemical parameters, depending on the day post-birth.
