Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH) A genetically engineered copy of a hormone which cows naturally produce. A 10-15% increase in milk production can result from the injection of rBGH. The Food and Drug Administration approved rBGH for

transgenic somatic cells in bovine for the production of animals and embryonic stem cell -like cells. His work was focused in the production of transgenic cattle. In January 1998, Dr. Cibelli's efforts lead to the announced the generation of the

competence of the bovine , caprine and murine nuclear transfer (NT) embryo. With respect to the latter, the lab has been successful in producing transgenic swine and mice, and more recently the laboratory reported the production of the
