To elucidate the developmental differences occurring after in vitro fertilization (IVF) of pig oocytes matured either in vitro (n = 1934) or in vivo (n = 1128), the present experiment investigated the morphological changes from penetration to the two-cell stage. Oocytes were examined every 2-4 h from 2 to 32 h after in vitro insemination to study sperm penetration, male and female pronucleus formation, synkaryosis and first cleavage. The penetration rate was significantly higher (P &lt; 0.05) for in vivo matured oocytes (69.8%) than for in vitro matured oocytes (35.0%). Penetration of spermatozoa into the ooplasm was first recorded 6 h (in vitro matured oocytes) and 4 h (in vivo matured oocytes) after addition of the spermatozoa to the oocytes. For both in vivo and in vitro matured oocytes, 2 h were required for sperm head decondensation. However, maximum sperm head decondensation occurred 2 h later in in vitro matured oocytes. Within 6 h, 41.7 +/- 5.6% of the in vivo matured oocytes had completed second meiotic division, whereas only 20.8 +/- 6.5% of the in vitro matured oocytes reached this developmental stage (P &lt; 0.01). For in vitro matured oocytes, male pronucleus formation was retarded 2-4 h after onset of insemination and development of the female pronucleus was enhanced compared with in vivo matured oocytes. Synchronized opposing pronuclei were observed 14 h after insemination in in vitro matured oocytes and after 8 h in in vivo matured oocytes. Synkaryosis was first observed at 16 and 18 h in in vivo and in vitro matured oocytes, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
