What Does PST Stand For?
PST stands for Porcine Somatotropin
PST, or Porcine Somatotropin, is a naturally occurring protein hormone produced by the pituitary gland in pigs. It plays a crucial role in regulating growth and metabolism, enhancing feed efficiency, and promoting overall weight gain in swine. PST is often utilized in livestock production to improve the growth rates of pigs, thereby increasing meat yield and reducing production costs. Its use is regulated in many countries to ensure animal welfare and food safety.
