Abstract
COVID-19 impacted abattoirs worldwide. The processing lines became a hotspot for the spread of COVID-19 resulting in plant restructuring and ultimately a critical loss of pig material for research. Commercial sources of pig oocytes are available but are costly and companies were already operating at a maximum capacity for supplying the oocyte needs around the United States. Here, we provide an alternative source of oocytes that are competent to produce live, healthy piglets.
