The in vitro development of porcine nuclear transfer embryos constructed using primary cultures from day 25 fetal fibroblasts which were either rapidly dividing (cycling) or had their cell-cycle synchronized in G0/G1 using serum starvation (serum-starved) was examined. Oocyte-karyoplast complexes were fused and activated simultaneously and then cultured in vitro for seven days to assess development. Fusion rates were not different for either cell population. The proportion of reconstructed embryos that cleaved was higher in the cycling group compared to the serum-starved group (79 vs. 56% respectively; P < 0.05). Development to the 4-cell stage was not different using either population. Both treatments supported similar rates of development to the morula (1.5 vs. 7%, cycling vs. serum-starved) and blastocyst stage (1.5 vs. 3%, cycling vs. serum-starved). The blastocyst produced using cycling cells had a total cell number of 10. Total cell numbers for the three blastocysts produced serum-starved cells were 22, 24, and 33. These blastocysts had inner cell mass numbers of 0, 15, and 4, respectively. Six hundred and thirty-five nuclear transfer embryos reconstructed using serum-starved cells were transferred to 15 temporarily mated recipients for 3-4 days. Of these, 486 were recovered (77% recovery rate) of which 106 (22%) had developed to the 4-cell stage or later. These were transferred to a total of 15 recipients which were either unmated or mated. Seven recipients farrowed a total of 51 piglets. Microsatellite analysis revealed that none of these were derived from the nuclear transfer embryos transferred.
