Abstract
When immature bovine oocytes are released from their follicles and are cultured in standard maturation medium, they resume the first meiotic division. The alteration of basic maturation conditions can affect oocyte competence significantly, as reflected by the morula and blastocyst yield after in vitro fertilization. The conditions used from the beginning of maturation up to the blastocyst stage have been shown to influence not only the developmental competence but also, potentially, the normal epigenetic make-up of the embryo. The methods described in this chapter outline the different steps of in vitro production of bovine embryos up to the blastocyst stage in semidefined conditions: (1) oocyte maturation, (2) in vitro fertilization, and (3) in vitro development. The first section explains procedures of ovary collection and oocyte aspiration and selection for in vitro maturation. The second section involves methods for the preparation of semen and oocytes for fertilization. The last section explains the best conditions to obtain blastocysts after 8 d of in vitro culture.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
