286 Assessment of Nuclear and Cytoplasmatic Maturation in Vitro of Oocytes Collected at Different Stages of Follicular Wave From Nelore Cows (Bos Taurus Indicus)
Abstract:The objective of experiment 1 was to evaluate the influence of follicular wave moment on the quality and number of recovered oocytes through ovum pick-up (OPU), as well as blastocyst rate, in Nelore cows. Two hypotheses were tested: (1) the number of recovered viable COC would be higher at Days 3 and 5 than at Days 7 and 9; (2) the COC aspirated at the beginning of the follicular wave (Day 3 or Day 5) would be more competent and would produce more blastocysts than COC obtained at the end of the wave (Day 7 and… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
