Description:	In vitro embryo production (IVP) is a key biotechnology for improving genetic progress and reproductive outcomes in cattle. The quality of embryos produced in vitro is largely affected by the the maturation medium (IVM) composition, especially the presence of fatty acids that influence oocyte developmental competence. Stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) converts stearic acid (SA), a saturated fatty acid, into oleic acid (OA), a monounsaturated fatty acid known to enhance oocyte viability and embryo development. This study evaluated the effects of SA and OA supplementation during IVM on bovine embryo quality, assessed by total cell number, neutral lipid content, and apoptotic index.
