- Proportion of embryos cleaved at 30 and 48 h post insemination (hpi) and formation of blastocysts at Day 7 of in vitro culture depending on the time of the first cleavage. Percent of early- and late-cleaved embryos was presented according to the number of fertilized oocytes. Blastocyst formation rate was calculated according to the total number of cleaved embryos. Percent of early- and late- cleaved blastocysts was presented in relation to the total number of embryos cleaved at 30 and 48 hpi, respectively
- a,b Differences between cleavage rates (P < 0.0001)
- A,B Differences in blastocysts formation rates between early and late cleaved group (P < 0.0001)
- P values of cleavage and blastocysts rate determined by Chi-square test with Yates’ correction
