Considering that the intrinsic quality of the oocyte is one of the main factors affecting blastocyst yield, the precise identification of noninvasive cellular or molecular markers that predict oocyte competence is of major interest to research and practical applications. The aim of this review was to explore the current literature on different noninvasive markers associated with oocyte quality in the bovine model. Apart from some controversial findings, the presence of cycle-related structures in ovaries, a follicle size between 6 and 10 mm, large number of surrounding cumulus cells, slightly expanded investment without dark areas, large oocyte diameter (&gt;120 microns), dark cytoplasm, and the presence of a round and smooth first polar body have been associated with better competence. In addition, the combination of oocyte and zygote selection via brilliant cresyl blue (BCB) test, spindle imaging, and the anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscopy together with studies decoding molecular cues in oocyte maturation have the potential to further optimize the identification of oocytes with better developmental competence for in-vitro-derived technologies in livestock species.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani10122196","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,24]],"date-time":"2020-11-24T09:06:28Z","timestamp":1606208788000},"page":"2196","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":69,"title":["Oocyte Selection for In Vitro Embryo Production in Bovine Species: Noninvasive Approaches for New Challenges of Oocyte Competence"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9713-4248","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luis","family":"Aguila","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre de Recherche en Reproduction et F\u00e9rtilit\u00e9 (CRRF), Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al, St-Hyacinthe, QC J2S 2M2, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Favian","family":"Treulen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medical Technology, Faculty of Science, Universidad Mayor, Temuco 4801043, Chile"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jacinthe","family":"Therrien","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre de Recherche en Reproduction et F\u00e9rtilit\u00e9 (CRRF), Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al, St-Hyacinthe, QC J2S 2M2, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ricardo","family":"Felmer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Reproduction, Centre of Reproductive Biotechnology (CEBIOR-BIOREN), Faculty of Medicine, Universidad de La Frontera, Temuco 4811322, Chile"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8301-5536","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Martha","family":"Valdivia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Animal Reproductive Physiology, Biological Sciences Faculty, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Lima 15088, Peru"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lawrence C","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre de Recherche en Reproduction et F\u00e9rtilit\u00e9 (CRRF), Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al, St-Hyacinthe, QC J2S 2M2, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"245","DOI":"10.1093\/humupd\/dmx040","article-title":"Acquisition of oocyte competence to develop as an embryo: Integrated nuclear and cytoplasmic events","volume":"24","author":"Conti","year":"2018","journal-title":"Hum.
