example of this as it comes from the fungus Penicillium notatum. Hormones are chemicals that transfer information and instructions between cells in animals and plants. They regulate growth and development‚ controlling the function of various tissues. Like antibiotics‚ hormones can be produced and placed in animal feed‚ for example Bovine Somatotropin‚ which is given to cows to increases milk production. The use of hormones and antibiotics in animal feed has been a controversial topic for many
