Bovine Development
The table below shows the general timing of early development stages in the bovine embryo, as well as comparing this to other domestic species.
Implantation in the uterus occurs between 30-35 days.
| Species | 1 cell (hours) | 8 cell (days) | Blastocyst (days) | Enter Uterus (days) | Length of Gestation (days) |
| Cattle | 24 | 3 | 8 | 3.5 | 281 |
| Horse | 24 | 3 | 6 | 5 | 337 |
| Sheep | 24 | 2.5 | 7 | 3 | 148 |
| Swine | 14-16 | 2 | 6 | 2 | 114 |
