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.

Which milk brands have bovine growth hormones in them?

Many conventional milk brands may use cows treated with bovine growth hormone (rBST or rBGH), which is a synthetic hormone used to increase milk production. Brands like Dairy Farmers of America and some store-brand milks may include milk from cows treated with rBST. However, many companies, including organic and some mainstream brands like Horizon Organic and Organic Valley, explicitly state that their milk comes from cows not treated with growth hormones. Always check the label for specific information regarding hormone use.


Where can you buy milk WITH growth hormone rbst please be specific?

Commercial grocery store chains usually have milk with growth hormone. If it is not labeled specifying no growth hormone, it probably has it. In the U.S. it is not required to be included on the label even if it is used as many consumers would avoid it if they knew...
