Porcine intra cytoplasmic sperm injection’s (ICSI) efficacy by selected protocol steps was investigated. Three trials per year’s period (hot, medium, cold) were carried out. Only large size follicles (6-8mm) were aspirated, brilliant cresyl blue (BCB) test was performed and only the BCB+ oocytes were in vitro maturated (40h) and involved to ICSI process. The presumptive embryos were in vitro cultured (15h). Raw boar semen and SpermCatch® as slowing medium were used. No differences were observed between periods regarding early embryonic development and maturation competence. ICSI achieves acceptable porcine early embryonic development rates under the investigated conditions.
