Effect of BCB concentration on the selection and nuclear maturation after IVM of sheep oocytes (replicates = 3)^a, (mean ± S.D,%).

BCB concentration (μM)	𝑁	BCB+, 𝑛(mean ± S.D,%)	BCB+ oocytes in MII, 𝑛(mean ± S.D,%)
26	342	228(66.15±11.89)	197(86.16±3.23)Aa
52	181	125(69.08±0.21)	71(56.62±2.43)Bb
Control	126		98(77.78±2.75)c
