Table 1

Embryo production (%) using nonsexed and sexed sperm on slaughterhouse and OPU derived COCs.

Oocyte source	No. of Replicates	No. oocytes	Cleavage (%) (mean ± SEM)	Blastocyst (%) (mean ± SEM)
Nonsexed (SH)	4	106	75.8 ± 2.3a	39.8 ± 2.4a
Sexed (SH)	4	133	57.1 ± 7.8b	25.0 ± 6.1b
Sexed without FSH (OPU)	4	121	41.2 ± 6.1b	12.8 ± 2.3c
Sexed with FSH (OPU)	4	101	48.4 ± 8.9b	25.2 ± 5.0b
