“…The basal media used for porcine IVF are the modified Tris‐buffered medium (mTBM), TCM‐199, Tyrode's albumin–lactate–pyruvate (TALP), and the porcine gamete medium (PGM) (Romar, Funahashi, & Coy, ). In regard to embryo culture, the most common media used are based on porcine zygote medium (PZM) and NCSU‐23; however, embryos cultured with other media, such as Beltsville embryo culture medium (BECM) and Whitten's medium (WM) have been able to develop to the blastocyst stage (Fowler, Mandawala, Griffin, Walling, & Harvey, ; Motta et al, ). Several reports have demonstrated that culture with PZM‐3 resulted in increased IVF and SCNT‐derived blastocyst development compared to NCSU‐23 (Im et al, ; Nánássy, Lee, Jávor, & Macháty, ; Wang et al, ; Yoshioka, Tanaka, Anas, Suzuki, & Iwamura, ).…”
