Table 1. Differences between the physiological values for O2 and temperature recorded by García-Martinez et al. (2018, 2020) and the values routinely used during in vitro production of pig embryos.
Value routinely used in vitro | Physiological value | Improved parameters with the physiological values | |
---|---|---|---|
Temperature | 38.5ºC | 37ºC | Monospermy rate (20% higher) |
Blastocyst rate (15% higher) | |||
Oxygen | 20% | 7% | Cleavage rate (28% higher) |
Blastocyst rate (6% higher) | |||
Nº cells/blastocyst (30 cells more). |
