• A naturally occurring hormone in cattle that regulates growth and milk production. • May also be produced by genetic engineering and injected into cows to increase milk production. • Bovine growth hormone may also called bovine somatotropin (bST). • The artificial version of the hormone (rBGH) is linked to increased antibiotic use in cows and may be linked to higher rates of cancer in humans.
