“…In fact, AR status has been previously used as predictor of both freezability (Molnarova et al, 2006) and in vivo fertility (Birck et al, 2010;Collin et al, 2000;Giritharan et al, 2005) in cattle. However, it has been widely demonstrated that in vitro AR rates depend on both the incubation time (Dode et al, 2002;Fukui et al, 1990;Gliedt et al, 1996;Pavlok et al, 2001) and the culture medium (Januskauskas et al, 2000;Sharma et al, 1999;Vadnais et al, 2005). Our results are consistent with these previous observations, showing a clear interaction between culture medium and incubation time.…”
