Abstract

First of all, in vitro production (IVP) of porcine embryos is an important as initial step to improve bio-technical applications such as transgenesis and cloning for xenotransplantation. In recent years, considerable progress has been achieved in the IVP embryos using advanced methods for in vitro maturation (IVM) and fertilization (IVF). (omitted)
