Abstract
Recombinant Bovine Somatotropin (rbST) has been identified as a substance that can positively impact the reproduction of ruminants, there are, however, few studies published of its use in this area, perhaps because rbST has been banned in many countries. Also known as growth hormone, somatotropin causes favorable reactions related to improving reproductive characteristic such as conception rate, in vitro maturation of oocytes, in vitro embryo culture among others. More studies are needed in order to better understand the effects of rbST and its possible use as a tool to improve the reproduction of ruminants. This article is a review of the literature on the possible effects of rbST in the reproduction of ruminants.
