TL;DR: In vitro results suggest that NEB may hamper fertility of high-yielding dairy cows through increased NEFA concentrations in FF affecting oocyte quality, and non-esterified fatty acids being the predominant fatty acids in FF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Silicone oil used in microdrop culture can affect bovine embryonic development and freezability.
TL;DR: It appears that due to the changed lipid contents of the medium, embryonic membranes are rendered more susceptible to freezing due to altered membrane composition or by membrane damage caused by lipid peroxidation.
