Introduction: Cryopreservation has been applied successfully in many mammalian species. Nevertheless, pig embryos have shown a reduced ability to be a lower developmental competence, because of their greater susceptibility to cryoinjuries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival status of vitrified–warmed porcine blastocysts.Materials and methods: Forced collapse blastocoel (FBC) and non-FBC blastocysts are vitrified and concomitantly cul...
