Of the embryos cultured in medium alone, 17.3% (n = 52) developed to the morula or blastocyst stage. For porcine embryos cultured in mouse oviducts, 77.1% (n = 35) developed to the morula or blastocyst stage in mouse oviducts obtained from fertile matings; 74.5% (n = 51) in mouse oviducts obtained from females mated to vasectomized males; and 58.7% (n = 46) in flushed mouse oviducts obtained from mated fertile females. Development of porcine embryos in rat oviducts from mated fertile females was limited (17.8% morula or blastocyst; n = 45). Mouse oviducts obtained from females mated to fertile or vasectomized males and not flushed supported one-cell porcine embryo development to a greater extent than flushed mouse oviducts (P<0.03), rat oviducts, or culture medium alone. Development of porcine embryos in flushed mouse oviducts was superior to that in rat oviducts (P<0.001), while culture in rat oviducts did not improve development over culture in medium alone (P>0.90). Cell numbers were similar for embryos reaching the morula or blastocyst stage across all treatments, except for embryos reaching the blastocyst stage in rat oviducts, where cell numbers were significantly lower (P<0.05). The presence of viable mouse embryos, as in oviducts obtained from mated fertile females but not in oviducts from females mated to vasectomized males, is not responsible for supporting porcine embryo development.}, number={6}, journal={THERIOGENOLOGY}, author={KRISHER, RL and PETTERS, RM and JOHNSON, BH}, year={1989}, month={Dec}, pages={885–891} }
