  5. Bovine oocytes can acquire their competence for fertilization and embryonic development in a serum free maturation medium during the in vitro maturation ( IVM ), and this process can be enhanced by addition of follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone and epithelial growth factor to the maturation medium.
