This study demonstrates that the demand for energy produc¬ tion during development of bovine embryos produced in vitro remains constant throughout precompaction development, but then increases as compaction is initiated and the blastocoel is formed. Moreover, the profile of oxygen consumption, detailed here for bovine embryos for the first time, follows this developmental pattern and is similar to that reported for mice (Mills and Brinster, 1967; Houghton et al, in press). The only other data that we are aware of that describes oxygen consumption for bovine embryos are that of Overstrom et al
