The total cell numbers (TCNs) of bovine embryos collected from superovulated donors (VIVO embryos) were counted 0-9 d after ovulation to quantify the developmental process. Using numerical analysis of embryo development, we also compared the developmental process of VIVO embryos, in vitro-fertilized (IVF) embryos and nuclear transfer (NT) embryos obtained from enucleated oocytes and blastomere nuclei. The TCNs of embryos were measured using the air-dry method. Cleavage divisions (CD) of the embryos were obtained using logarithmic transformation of the TCN. The TCN of the VIVO embryos increased significantly (P<0.001) with time. The relationship between the CD of the VIVO embryos at 0-9 d after ovulation and age in days was described by a linear equation with a high correlation (y=1.03 x+0.16, r=0.99), showing that CD occurs about once each day for all blastomeres. However, compared to the VIVO embryos, the TCN of the IVF embryos did not increase from 3-4 d nor after 7 d; the TCN of the NT embryos did not increase after 7 d (P>0.05). The results suggest a delay in development at these developmental stages. The slopes of regression lines of the IVF and NT embryos were significantly (P<0.001) smaller, indicating that quantification of the developmental process of VIVO embryos according to TCN and CD would be useful as criteria for numerical evaluation of the developmental process of bovine in vitro produced embryos.
