ABSTRACT: The influence of a growth factor supplemented serum-free system on the development, gene expression, and cryotolerance of in vitro pro- duced bovine embryos was investigated. To assess the embryo development and gene ex- pression in blastocysts, abattoir-derived oo- cytes (obtained from 3 - 10 or
