Influence of storage period on transferable embryo rate from 2 extinct populations of a commercial rabbit line separated by 15 years of genetic selection.

<p>Influence of storage period on transferable embryo rate from 2 extinct populations of a commercial rabbit line separated by 15 years of genetic selection.</p

Animals used in this study belonged to 2 Spanish commercial rabbit lines.

<p>(A) Female and male from synthetic line R selected on individual daily weight gain between weaning (day 28) and end of the fattening (day 63) over 37 generations (B). Females used as recipient from maternal line based on New Zealand White rabbits selected since 1980 by a family index for litter size at weaning during 45 generations and donor from synthetic line R.</p

Rabbit embryos classified as excellent or good (presenting homogenous cellular mass, mucin coat, and spherical zona pellucida according to International Embryo Transfer Society classification).

<p>(A) Compacted morulae at 100x. (B) Early blastocyst at 100x. Scale bar: 50 μm.</p
