Some countries do not allow the use of these hormones in milk intended for human consumption. Bovine somatotropin, a hormone that stimulates growth in cattle, is harvested from recombinant bacteria and injected into dairy cattle to enhance milk production. Research has provided the means by which genes can be identified and manipulated at the molecular and cellular levels. This technology has great potential, and its full magnitude is far from being fully realized. Biotechnological advances have enabled scientists to tap into the world’s gene pool.
