Successful development of porcine embryos from the one-cell stage to the blastocyst stage has been accomplished using mouse oviducts in organ culture. One-cell embryos were transferred to mouse oviducts maintained in organ culture and were cultured for 6 days. Control embryos from each donor pig were cultured in a modified Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate medium. Thus control and experimental embryos obtained from the same individual pig could be directly compared. At the end of the culture period, all embryos were scored for the stage of development attained and stained to allow the cell number of each embryo to be counted. In medium alone, only 35.7% of the one-cell embryos reached the morula or blastocyst stage, whereas 78.1% of the one-cell embryos transferred to mouse oviducts reached the morula or blastocyst stage. Of those embryos reaching the morula or blastocyst stage, cell numbers were similar for the two treatments (medium alone vs. oviduct culture). The procedure described for mouse oviduct organ culture provides a simple method for culturing early-stage pig embryos to the morula or blastocyst stage prior to embryo transfer.
