The best results were achieved under the conditions of electrical field strength and the pulse duration at 130Vmm-1/80 us, with a blastocyst development rate of (20.12 ± 8.18) % (P > 0.05). No significant difference was found between treatments of multiple pulses and a single pulse (P > 0.05). Parthenogenetic embryos were cultured with different methods and air conditions for 7 days in vitro, blastocyst development rate of embryos with changed culture media [ (26.44 ± 8.35) % ] or changed media with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) [ (17.68 ± 5.39)% ] on the fifth day showing no significant difference from that of embryos without change of culture media [ (25.30 ± 7.55) % , P > 0.05 ], while cell numbers of blastocysts from embryos with changed culture media (15.78 + 5.46 and 14.55 ± 4.81) were significantly lower than number of blastocysts from embryos without change of culture media (18.01 ± 6.79, P<0.01). Blastocyst development rate and blastocyst cell number of embryos cultured in lower O2(5%CO2: 7%O2:88%N2) also showed no significant difference from those in high O2(5%CO2 in air) [(20.78 ± 8. 80)% and 17.0016.12 vs. (25.30 ± 7.55)% and 18.0116.79, P>0.05]. It is concluded that change of culture media with the same new one or changing over to media with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) on the fifth day and low O2 environment are not necessary for porcine embryos development.展开更多
