Generating porcine embryos in vitro is a critical process for creating genetically modified pigs as agricultural and biomedical models; however, these embryo technologies have been scarcely applied by the swine industry. Currently, primary issue with -produced low pregnancy rate after transfer small litter size, which may be exasperated micromanipulation procedures. Thus, this review, we discuss improvements that made to production system increase number of live piglets per well abnormalities arise from culture manipulation techniques. Furthermore, examine areas related where are warranted will direct applications increasing born litter.
