The present study was undertaken to determine the effects of different oocytes collection methods (aspiration and dissection) on oocytes maturation and combine with the different electro-activation protocols on in vitro pre-implantation development of parthenogenetic diploid porcine embryos. The results showed that dissection method was significantly higher both in quantity (87.23%, p <0.05) of matured oocytes and in the rate of oocytes with very good quality (53.00%) compared with aspiration method (62.00%, 30.22%; respectively). We further accessed the quality of matured oocytes competence via parthenogenetic embryo development. Using four electro-activation protocols, we found that the electro-activation condition had no effect on the development of embryos to the 2-cell, 4-cell and 8-cell stages. However, the oocytes activated by the 60V/cm amplitude of pulse group had less (41.33%; p <0.05) development at the morula stage than 90V/cm, 100V/cm and 150V/cm amplitude of pulse groups (73.99%, 67.62%, 72.55%; respectively). The embryos develop to blastocyst stage was highest in the group induced by 90V/cm electro pulse was 71.76% compared to 100V/cm, 150V/cm, and 60V/cm (62.86%, 62.05%, and 37.63%, p<0.001, respectively). We conclude that the combining of dissection method for porcine oocytes collection and electro-activation with the amplitude of pulses 90V/cm can enhance both the activation success and development competition in in vitro pre- implantation parthenogenetic diploid porcine embryos.
