Assisted reproductive technologies in the pig are critical for the production of genetically modified pigs as models of human disease and to improve production agriculture. Methods of oocyte maturation, fertilization, and culture all play an extremely important role in how the embryo, fetus, and offspring will develop. In this chapter, we discuss the historical methods and recent advances that have been essential in promoting efficient and competent embryo development. Here we describe the procedures that can be used to mature, fertilize, and culture pig embryos to the blastocyst stage.
