What is Posilac?
Bovine Growth Hormone
When was Bovine Growth Hormone first used?
1994
What is BGH-bovine growth hormone also called?
BST
What is BST also called?
BGH-bovine growth hormone
What is rBGH?
recombinant bovine growth hormone, try wikipedia:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bovine_somatotropin
Who makes rBGH?
rBGH, or recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone is a synthetic form of growth hormone injected into cows to increase growth rates and milk production. Manufactured by Monsanto, rBGH was introduced to the market in 1993 under the product name Posilac. rBGH is also referred to as rBST (recombinant Bovine Somatotropin).
What is the hormone that promotes growth and milk production in dairy cows?
The hormone that is injected into dairy cows for increased growth and milk production is called recombinant Bovine Somatotrophin Hormone or rBST, purchased as Posilac by American dairy farmers.
Are hormones like recombinant bovine growth hormone or estrogen mutagens?
No. A mutagen, by definition, is a chemical or physical agent that changes the genetic material or DNA of an organism. Hormones are not mutagens, nor cannot mutate DNA. Estrogen is a natural hormone found in all animals, and recombinant bovine growth hormone is a hormone created or synthesized from recombinant bovine DNA to enable this substance to be commercially distributed. Once again, this hormone, without the "recombinant" name attached to it, is also naturally found in the bovine animal. Estrogen is what determines and regulates ovulation and estrus cycling in cattle. Growth hormone is found in growing animals which help them grow. So it is ridiculous to think that these two hormones are responsible for changes in an animal's DNA.
When bovine growth hormone is injected into dairy cows milk production can be increased by as much as twenty percent?
TRUE
What is the medicine used for dairy cows to increase milk production?
There is no "medicine" that is used for dairy cows to increase milk production. Only a particular growth hormone called rBGH or recominant Bovine Growth Hormone.
The bovine growth hormone dairy products kosher?
Yes. The hormones in a cow's bloodstream do not affect its kashrus, or that of the milk it produces.
What are the factors that affect maturation?
Several factors can influence maturation, including genetics, nutrition, environment, and overall health. Genetic factors determine the individual's biological growth and development trajectory, while nutrition plays a crucial role in providing the necessary nutrients for healthy growth. Environmental factors such as exposure to toxins or stress can also impact maturation, as well as overall health conditions that affect hormone levels and organ development.
