The chick embryo amnion as an in vitro culture system for IVF and NT embryos
… the efficiency and quality of culturing IVP bovine embryos in the amnion of a domestic chicken egg was tested. In Experiment I, by culturing IVP bovine embryos in the chick amnion (day 4 to 7 of incubation) it was discovered that there was no significant difference in blastocyst rates …

Factors associated with variation in the fatty acid composition and iodine value of carcass fat in pigs fed increasing levels of dried distillers grains with solubles
… level and dietary iodine value product (IVP) were highly correlated (i.e., 0.86 to 0.90) with fat IV for all sampling locations. For equations to predict the IV of fat at the sampling locations, DDGS inclusion level was the first variable selected (e.g., jowl fat IV = DDGS level × 0.24 + …

Interleukin-6 Supplementation Improves Post-Transfer Embryonic and Early Fetal Development of in vitro Produced Bovine Embryos
In vitro produced (IVP) bovine embryos are useful for investigating the mechanisms affecting early embryonic failure. The work in this thesis explored how interleukin-6 (IL6), an embryokine that increases inner cell mass (ICM) influences post-transfer embryonic survival and development of the …
