Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Equilibration Temperature on In vitro Viability and Subsequent Embryo Development of Vitrified-Warmed Immature Bovine OocytesHajarian Hadi, H. Wahid, O. Abas Mazni et al.Problem statement: Vitrification is replacing conventional slow freezing to cryopreserve gametes and embryos especially for in vitro production of embryo in domestic animal species. However, the results are still not satisfactory. The aim of this experiment was to study the effect of different equilibration temperatures on in vitro viability of immature bovine oocytes after vitrification. Approach: Oocytes were obtained from … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 1 Sep 2010 · 16,116 accessesView PDFCite
