Very little, if any.
Genetic technology makes it easier to give cows growth hormones. This is because it is now easier to transfer the hormones.
Omg.. No,dude. No.
Not all farmers, no. Only those that are feeding cattle in CAFO operations (feedlot and dairy) that are raised for only beef and/or milk and in those countries that do not prohibit hormones or antibiotics being fed to cattle will be feeding cows hormones.
cows have 32 teeth!!!8 incisors on the bottom front6 molars on the top and bottom of each side
Cows are not machines, they are living beings. There are several hormones present in milk that are naturally occurring, and have been occurring in the milk of mammals (not just cows) for millions of years.
It doesn't. Growth hormones are just that; they are just there to aid in the increase of milk production. Genetic technology is just a means to better select cows and bulls that are more apt to produce calves with better milking ability than themselves. Growth hormones have nothing to do with genetics or reproduction, really.
Drink lots of milk from cows that have been treated with hormones.
No, not in a significant amount that it would adversely affect the calf or a human.

Cows cows cows.
Cows treated with growth hormone reach market weight faster, which is an advantage for the farmer. A con is that these hormones stay in the meat and are passed on to humans through consumption of the meat.
