Altogether, 1403 folicular oocytes, collected by the aspiration method, were matured in vitro and then cultured without insemination in the same conditions as a group of inseminated oocytes. After 48-72 h of additional culture, 141 oocytes (10 percent) were found to be spontaneously activated. Morphological evaluation revealed that the number of blastomeres within parthenotes ranged from 2 to 16 cells, with minority comprising 9-16 blastomeres. According to a cytogenetic analysis, only 1.2 percent of the analysed parthenotes consisted of more than 9 cells. Parthenotes may not be distinguished from embryo produced in vitro and spontaneous parthenogenetic activation and in vitro maturation and fertilization system indicates suboptimal culture conditions
