Abstract
A total of 104 oocytes were aspirated from 1.1 mature ewes and 4 prepu bertal lambs. After in vitro maturation, fertilization and culture, 11 1 of the 104 oocytes developed into blastocysts. These were cryopreser ved in 1.5 M ethylene glycol. After being thawed, all were transferred into four recipients, two of which became pregnant and delivered a no rmal lamb.
