Oestrous cycle stage influences the morphology and maturation of porcine oocytes in vitro

The objective of the study was to characterize the effect of the oestrous cycle stage on the yield, morphology and meiotic competence of porcine oocytes. A total of 46 cycling gilts, at 8.5-9 months of age, were used as oocyte donors. Their oestrous cycle was synchronized by Regumate and the onset o...
