Comparative developmental competence and gene expression in laparoscopically retrieved- and abattoir-derived goat oocytes
In goats, oocytes retrieved via LOPU show superior developmental competence and more favorable molecular signatures than those obtained from abattoir-derived ovaries. LOPU-derived oocytes provide a more reliable option for achieving higher -quality embryos and may be more suitable for application in advanced reproductive biotechnologies.
